Chinese Perscution
Chinese Christian Li Ying has been in prison more than 2000 days. She is serving a 15-year sentence for her role as editor of an underground-church magazine in China. She was the very first prisoner featured on
www.prisoneralert.com. At that time, the email list consisted of barely more than 2000 people. More than 7,400 letters have been printed off of the site to be sent to her since that original posting in February, 2004.
The letters that Prisoner Alert visitors write make a difference! Once when her mother went to the prison to visit Li Ying, the warden asked, “How many relatives do you have in America?” He had noted all the letters arriving for Li Ying! In recent months, Li Ying’s mother has not been allowed to visit as prison officials tried to get Li Ying to recant her faith and sign a document saying that she is part of an “evil cult.” Yet she has remained faithful to Christ and refused to sign.
Li Ying is still in prison, forced to work long hours with little food. Please send her a letter of encouragement and let her know you are praying for her and other Christians in China. Also, write to the Chinese government requesting that Li Ying’s sentence be reduced, as the sentences for others from her house church group have been.
Let your friends know about Li Ying’s suffering, and encourage them also to write to her and pray for her and other Christians in China.
We may not know here on earth the difference we are making; in eternity, though, it will be clear.
Get involved! Pray for Li Ying.
I can't post the link, because of donations~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reward for your endeavor will be what is said by many prisoners "while doing time for God, we praise Him that we are not forgotten." Even in the most horrific conditions and suffering there can be dignity. This is what you will give to a fellow believer in our Lord Jesus Christ.
