(christiansunite.com) - Pastor Zhang Zhongxin was sentenced to two years "re-education through labour" in the city of Jining, Shandong province on July 4, according to a July 8 report from China Aid Association.

He is due to be released on June 5, 2010. An appeal hearing for his case has been scheduled for August 14.

Ask God to protect Pastor Zhang in the labour camp. Pray that he will be a bold witness for Christ there. Pray that the persecutors of Christians in China will open their hearts to the love of Christ as Saul did (Acts 9:1-19).
