The family of a Chinese pastor released from prison is expressing thanks to President Trump and everyone who prayed and fought for his release. But Pastor Jin "Ezra" Mingri, who spent nine months in prison after Chinese authorities raided his church, is now issuing a critical call to prayer for 8 more church members still being held captive.

"My earnest prayer is that my release can mark the beginning of a new chapter for people of faith in China... Mine is a God of miracles, and he constantly surprises me."

Must Read: Pastor Jin reflects on his nearly nine months imprisoned in China, faith, and release in a new piece for @WSJOpinion. Freedom House was proud to advocate for his release, but the work continues. As Pastor Jin notes, eight of his fellow Zion church members, along with many other prisoners of conscience, remain imprisoned by the CCP for peacefully practicing their beliefs. We continue our calls on Beijing to #FreeThemAll

“No community should have to bury its pastor and its children because they follow Christ. The massacre in Kawel is not an isolated tragedy. It is part of a devastating and well-documented pattern of violence against Christians in Nigeria." @ADFIntl

Very concerning

In Québec, Bill 21, officially "An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State," prohibits public servants in positions of authority -- such as teachers, police officers, and government lawyers and judges -- from wearing religious symbols at work.

🇧🇷 In Brazil, a judge has sentenced 2 parents to prison because their daughters, 15 and 11, don't listen to folk or "trap" music.

He concluded that the girls' music taste meant their homeschool education had failed to teach them culture and diversity.

This is an egregious violation of parental rights.

Today is the feast of St. Augustine Zhao Rong, a Chinese soldier turned priest who was tortured to death for refusing to renounce Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Christians in China still face persecution today, including Jimmy Lai, who remains in captivity.

St. Augustine, pray for us!

Today, the Church remembers Venerable Augustus Tolton.

Father Tolton’s life is a witness to the Church to reckon with its past and to build a future rooted in justice, equity, and the Gospel truth that all people are made in the image of God.

🚨OVERWHELMING support today in European Parliament for resolution strongly condemning persecution of Christians in Nigeria 🇳🇬, 501 to 1 vote support!

Calls on Nigeria to strengthen efforts in Middle Belt, where persecution against Christians is most severe. @ADFLegal @ADFIntl

[Sam Brownback @SamuelBrownback]

Pastor Ezra Jin's release is only a first step. People jailed for their faith should be released and churches should be allowed to operate free of government interference. There is still much work to be done for religious freedom in China.

Pray for a just peace for the many conflicts throughout the world.

Pray for policy makers whose hearts like Pharaoh’s stand in the way of peace and the ways of God.

[Alexei Laushkin @A_MissionalLife]

Pray for the witness of Christians in the public square. That their lives and witness might be improved.
