【秋雨圣约教会·代祷信息】

2026年6月14日上午11点左右，秋雨圣约教会的弟兄姊妹在主日聚会时，突然遭到五六十名警察的包围与冲击。现场大批执法人员涌入，气氛一度十分紧张。

据现场弟兄姐妹的消息，警方在登记完所有会友的身份证信息后，调集了大巴车和多辆警车，开始逐个将弟兄姊妹强行带往当地派出所。

截至目前，晏鸿长老、五清长老、刘应许弟兄、聂博弟兄、李本立弟兄、阿信弟兄等人已被警方带走，另有大批现场的肢体，包括多位年幼的孩子，也被陆续押上大巴车和警车。

紧急恳请各地教会和弟兄姊妹为秋雨圣约教会切切代祷：

1. 求主赐下天上的平安与稳妥：求主亲自保守被带走的晏鸿长老、五清长老及众位弟兄姊妹、特别是现场年幼的孩子们。求主作他们随时的盾牌，使他们在面对粗暴的审讯与恶者的差役时，心中满有从基督而来的平静、安稳与刚强。

2. 求主顾念肢体基本的身体需要：目前已有大量肢体被带走，尚不清楚是否可以正常吃饭、喝水，求主加添他们肉体的力量，开出路使他们能尽早获得食物与休息，并保守他们能平安回到家中。

3. 求主统管逼迫者的心思意念：正如弟兄姊妹在晨祷中所默想的，愿主来统管这些警务人员的手和脚、所思所想以及他们的心。求主夺回主权，止息他们的凶恶，甚至在这些看似如同扫罗般凶狠的办案人员中，行翻转的奇事，扫罗变保罗。

4. 求主让教会在试炼中更加合一：恳求复活的基督亲自牧养祂的群羊，让秋雨圣约教会在经历这一次的冲击时，会友之间更加彼此守望、同舟共济。让地上的逼迫非但不能拆散神的家，反而成为精炼教会、显明复活大能的器皿。

在祷告中上帝与我们同在！主啊，帮助我们！

六四工人采访。不得不说那个时代的人真是太敢说了。公开质疑中共的执政合法性，要求建立联合政府。甚至把共产党的历史旧账都翻出来了。中共在建立初期确实有办过报刊，并大肆抨击国民政府独裁，要求多党派轮流执政。搞得自己像民主斗士一样。结果夺得天下后，便换了一副嘴脸。搞起独裁来比国民党还狠。

近年来，中国政府进一步收紧对官方天主教教会和全国约1,200万天主教徒的意识形态管制。

当局对神职人员进行密集的政治或意识形态培训，有些地方多达每周两次。当局也限制在官方教会场所举行的宗教活动，例如大型宗教活动须事先申请、禁止未成年人进入教堂等等。当局还禁止在家中对儿童进行宗教教育。

关于设立1月9日为“中国信仰自由日”暨每月9日为“为中国受逼迫教会禁食祷告日”的倡议书（后附英文）
亲爱的众教会弟兄姐妹们，在基督里愿你们平安！
在过去十余年间，9日这个平凡的日期，却成为一个非凡的标记。它指向中国家庭教会经历的多起重大教案：2011年4月9日，北京守望教案；2015年12月9日，贵阳活石教案；2018年1月9日，临汾金灯堂教案（教堂被爆破）；2018年9月9日，北京锡安教案；2018年12月9日，成都秋雨教案；2025年10月9日，中国锡安教案。除了这些教案之外，同样发生在9日的，还有2015年7月9日，中国709维权律师大抓捕事件，其中涉及多位基督徒律师及多起宗教逼迫案件。故此，本倡议书基于《“12.9”——为受逼迫的中国家庭教会祷告日倡议书》（2023年12月9日），进一步提出设立1月9日为“中国信仰自由日”，以及每月9日为“为中国受逼迫教会禁食祷告日”的郑重倡议。本倡议旨在进一步促进社会各界人士对中国信仰自由现状的密切关注，更重要的是，进一步挑旺普世教会为中国受逼迫教会的热切祷告。
一、核心倡议
1. 倡议将1月9日设为“中国信仰自由日”
10月27日是“国际宗教自由日” (International Religious Freedom Day)，旨在促进全球范围内的宗教和信仰自由，并对宗教自由受限的地区表示关注。中国并没有官方设立的“宗教自由日”。虽然中国宪法规定中国公民“享有宗教信仰的自由”，但是在现实中却存在诸多对宗教信仰的限制和管控，尤其是对非官方认可的宗教团体包括家庭教会存在长期的打压和逼迫。因此，我们倡议将1月9日设为中国信仰自由日（China Freedom of Faith Day），自2026年1月9日开始生效，旨在促进中国的宗教信仰自由得到切实的改善和完全的保障。
2. 倡议将每月9日设为“为中国受逼迫教会禁食祷告日”
自2025年“10·9”锡安教案以来，锡安教会受到国际社会的广泛关注和全球教会的代祷支持。世界各地的许多主内肢体带着“一同受苦”的心志（林前12:26），为遭受逼迫的锡安教会乃至中国教会而同心祷告。藉此圣灵的工作，我们倡议将每月9日常设为“为中国受逼迫教会禁食祷告日”。在每月9日，我们鼓励弟兄姐妹按照圣灵感动和身体情况进行全天禁食，以全身心地投入为中国受逼迫教会的个人祷告和群体祷告。我们期待每月9日祷告运动与“全球为受逼迫的中国教会祷告会”（IDOP China）、秋雨圣约教会发起的“中国的下午五点钟”国度祷告会、北美浸信会信友堂“户外晨祷会”等已存的相关祷告事奉，能够配搭连接、互补同工，共筑祷告的城墙。
二、代祷提议
1. 常设代祷事项：
(1) 为遭受逼迫的中国教会、基督徒及其家属祷告
“九”与“久”同音，我们在每月九日同声呼求：主啊，还要多久，要到几时，你才为你被苦待迫害的子民伸冤呢（诗13:1；启6:10）？求主按照你纯全美善的旨意，在你所定的时间，释放你被捆锁拘禁的仆人使女。求主恒久的恩典平安常与为义受逼迫的人及其家属同在，保守坚固你高墙内外的儿女都活出基督里无法剥夺的自由。愿主怜悯安慰受到冲击惊扰的家庭尤其妇孺，亲自作她们的保护者、伸冤者和供应者，通过教会神的家，支持他们在属灵、经济、法务和情感等各方面的需要。
(2) 为中国的信仰自由、尊重人权与依法治国祷告
“九”与“纠”谐音，我们在每月九日谦卑代求：主啊，愿你“察看这有罪的国”（摩9:8），纠正涂抹我们的罪恶过犯（徒3:19），尤其是神州大地对真神的敌挡，以及这地的当权者对属神子民的逼迫。求主纠正撤销一切违反中国宪法、国际法则和神圣律法的“非法之法”，包括新《宗教事务条例》和《互联网宗教信息服务管理办法》等下位法规，以保证中国公民的信仰自由，包括在实体和网络空间表达和实践基督信仰。求主祝福和转化中国及其在上掌权者，敬天爱人，惩恶扬善，秉公执法，利国利民。
(3) 为神藉逼迫炼净并复兴中国乃至普世教会祷告
“九”与“救”谐音，我们在每月九日热切祈求：主啊，愿你“施行救恩，直到地极”（赛49:6；徒13:47）。求主不只是救拔教会得胜逼迫患难，更是透过教会走十字架的道路，愿基督的福音临到更多灵魂，成全上帝的救赎计划。主啊，你在新约教会诞生之初，乃至两千多年的大公教会历史中，包括中国家庭教会的历史中，都曾藉着逼迫患难不断炼净和复兴你的教会。求主继续兴起在逼迫中奋勇前行的中国教会，甘作神手中的器皿，激励全球教会，同心兴旺福音，合作拓展神国，共担宣教使命。
2. 特别代祷事项：
除上述常设代祷事项以外，每月9日祷告会可按照当月情况收集特别代祷事项。例如：2025年12月9日的祷告会包含贵阳活石教会教案10周年、成都秋雨圣约教会教案7周年纪念，并特别为金明日牧师等被拘禁的锡安教会牧者同工在北海看守所中能够获得并阅读圣经而禁食祷告。
三、参与建议
1. 以教会或机构名义参与联署，成为本倡议共同发起人
请发送签署电邮至：[email protected]
请注明教会或机构名称，以及负责人姓名
2. 以教会或机构名义认领某月9日祷告会的组织与筹备
例如：锡安教会及所属圣道联会认领负责每年10月9日祷告会；
秋雨圣约教会或者贵阳活石教会认领负责每年12月9日祷告会。
3. 以个人或团队方式参与每月9日祷告会的活动与服侍
欢迎众教会的弟兄姐妹委身参与每月9日举行的禁食祷告会
鼓励基督徒个人或团队参与每月9日祷告会的各项义工服侍
我们约定每月九日，为了受逼迫的中国教会，同心合意、禁食祷告：
火炼信心，历久弥坚；震动神州，纠正罪愆；复兴教会，救恩彰显！

A Proposal to Designate January 9th as “China Religious Freedom Day” and the 9th of Every Month as a “Day of Fasting and Prayer for Persecuted Churches in China”
Dear brothers and sisters of all churches, may you have peace in Christ!
Over the past decade or so, the 9th—an otherwise ordinary date—has emerged as an extraordinary symbol. It points to a series of major persecution against the house churches in China: April 9, 2011—the Beijing Shouwang Church case; December 9, 2015—the Guiyang Huoshi Church case; January 9, 2018—the Linfen Golden Lampstand Church case (in which the church building was demolished by explosives); September 9, 2018—the Beijing Zion Church case; December 9, 2018—the Chengdu Early Rain Covenant Church case; and October 9, 2025—the China Zion Church case. In addition to these church-related incidents, another significant event occurring on the 9th was the “709 Crackdown” on human rights lawyers in China on July 9, 2015—an event that involved numerous Christian lawyers and was intertwined with multiple cases of religious persecution. Therefore, building upon the “Proposal for a December 9th Day of Prayer for Persecuted House Churches in China” (issued on December 9, 2023), this document puts forth a solemn proposal to designate January 9th as “China Religious Freedom Day,” and the 9th of every month as a “Day of Fasting and Prayer for Persecuted Churches in China.” The aim of this initiative is to further encourage people from all walks of life to pay close attention to the current state of religious freedom in China, and—more importantly—to further kindle fervent prayer among the global church on behalf of the persecuted churches in China.
I. Core Proposals
1. Proposal to Designate January 9th as “China Religious Freedom Day”
October 27th is “International Religious Freedom Day,” a day intended to promote religious and belief freedom on a global scale and to draw attention to regions where religious freedom is restricted. China currently has no officially designated “Religious Freedom Day.” Although the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China stipulates that Chinese citizens “enjoy freedom of religious belief,” in reality, numerous restrictions and controls are imposed upon religious faith. In particular, there has been a long-standing campaign of suppression and persecution directed at religious groups not officially recognized by the state—including “house churches.” Therefore, we propose designating January 9th as “China Religious Freedom Day,” effective starting January 9, 2026. This initiative aims to foster tangible improvements in, and ensure the full protection of, religious freedom within China.
2. Proposal to Designate the 9th of Every Month as a “Day of Fasting and Prayer for Persecuted Churches in China”
Since the “October 9th” Zion Church case in 2025, Zion Church has garnered widespread attention from the international community and received intercessory support from churches around the globe. Many brothers and sisters in Christ worldwide—embracing the spirit of “suffering together” (1 Corinthians 12:26)—have united in prayer for the persecuted Zion Church, and indeed for the broader Church in China. Inspired by the work of the Holy Spirit, we propose establishing the 9th of every month as a standing “Day of Fasting and Prayer for Persecuted Churches in China.” On the 9th of each month, we encourage brothers and sisters to observe a full-day fast—guided by the leading of the Holy Spirit and their own physical health—thereby devoting themselves wholeheartedly to both personal and corporate prayer on behalf of the persecuted Church in China. We look forward to seeing this monthly prayer movement coordinate, connect, and work in complementarity with existing prayer ministries—such as the “International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church in China” (IDOP China), the “5:00 PM in China” Kingdom Prayer Gathering initiated by Early Rain Covenant Church, and the “Outdoor Morning Prayer Meeting” hosted by the North American Baptist Church of the Faithful—so that, together, we may build a spiritual “wall of prayer.”
II. Intercessory Prayer Suggestions
1. Standing Prayer Points:
(1) Pray for the persecuted Church in China, for individual Christians, and for their families.
In Chinese, the number “nine” (九jiǔ) is homophonous with the word for “long-lasting” or “how long” (久jiǔ). Thus, on the 9th of every month, we raise our voices in unison to cry out: “O Lord, how long must we wait? Until when will You delay in avenging Your people who are being mistreated and persecuted?” (Psalm 13:1; Revelation 6:10). We pray, O Lord, that in accordance with Your perfect and good will, and at Your appointed time, You would release Your servants—both men and women—who are currently bound and imprisoned. May Your enduring grace and peace ever abide with those who suffer persecution for the sake of righteousness, as well as with their families; may You preserve and strengthen Your children—both those within high walls and those outside them—enabling them all to live out the indomitable freedom found in Christ. May the Lord show mercy and offer comfort to families that have been shaken and distressed—especially the women and children among them—personally acting as their Protector, Vindicator, and Provider; and, through the Church—the household of God—may You support them in all their needs: spiritual, financial, legal, and emotional.
(2) A Prayer for Religious Freedom, Respect for Human Rights, and the Rule of Law in China
Since the number “nine” (九jiǔ) sounds like “to correct” (纠jiū), we humbly intercede on the ninth day of every month: O Lord, may You “look upon this sinful kingdom” (Amos 9:8) and correct and blot out our sins and transgressions (Acts 3:19)—specifically, the hostility shown across the land of China toward the true God, and the persecution inflicted by those in authority in this land against the people who belong to God. We pray, O Lord, that You would correct and revoke all “unlawful laws” that violate China's Constitution, international norms, and divine law—including subsidiary regulations such as the new “Regulations on Religious Affairs” and the “Measures for the Administration of Internet Religious Information Services”—thereby guaranteeing religious freedom for all Chinese citizens, including the liberty to express and practice the Christian faith in both physical and cyberspace. We pray that You would bless and transform China and those in authority over it, that they may revere Heaven and love their neighbors, punish evil and promote good, uphold justice in the application of the law, and serve the best interests of both the nation and its people.
(3) A Prayer that God Would Refine and Revive the Church—in China and Globally—Through Persecution
Since the number “nine” (九jiǔ) also sounds like “salvation” (救jiù), we fervently pray on the ninth day of every month: O Lord, may You “bring salvation to the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 49:6; Acts 13:47). We pray, O Lord, not merely that You would deliver the Church to triumph over persecution and tribulation, but rather that—as the Church walks the path of the Cross—the Gospel of Christ may reach even more souls, thereby fulfilling God's redemptive plan. O Lord, from the very inception of the New Testament Church, throughout the two-thousand-year history of the universal Church, and indeed within the history of the house churches in China, You have consistently utilized persecution and tribulation to refine and revive Your Church. We pray that the Lord will continue to raise up the Chinese church—pressing forward courageously amidst persecution—to willingly serve as instruments in God's hands, inspiring the global church to unite in heart to advance the Gospel, collaborate in expanding God's Kingdom, and share together in the mission of evangelism.
2. Specific Prayer Requests:
In addition to the standing prayer requests mentioned above, the prayer meeting held on the 9th of each month may incorporate specific prayer requests gathered according to the circumstances of that particular month. For example: The prayer meeting on December 9, 2025, will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the “Living Stone Church Case” in Guiyang and the 7th anniversary of the “Early Rain Covenant Church Case” in Chengdu; it will also feature a time of fasting and prayer specifically for Pastor Jin Mingri and other detained pastors and co-workers from Zion Church, praying that they may be granted access to and permission to read the Bible while held in the Beihai Detention Center.
III. Suggestions for Participation
1. Participate in the joint signing initiative on behalf of a church or organization, thereby becoming a co-initiator of this campaign.
Please send your signing request via email to: [email protected]
Please clearly state the name of your church or organization, as well as the name of the person in charge.
2. Volunteer—on behalf of a church or organization—to take responsibility for organizing and preparing the prayer meeting held on the 9th of a specific month.
For example: Zion Church and its affiliated Holy Word Alliance might volunteer to take charge of the prayer meeting held on October 9th each year;
Early Rain Covenant Church or Living Stone Church might volunteer to take charge of the prayer meeting held on December 9th each year.
3. Participate as an individual or a team in the activities and ministry service associated with the monthly prayer meetings held on the 9th.
Brothers and sisters from all churches are warmly invited to make a commitment to participate in the fasting and prayer meetings held on the 9th of every month.
Individual Christians and teams are encouraged to volunteer their services in various capacities during the monthly prayer meetings held on the 9th.
We hereby pledge to gather on the 9th (九jiǔ) of every month—united in heart and mind—to fast and pray on behalf of the persecuted church in China:
May our faith, refined by fire, grow ever stronger even over long time (久jiǔ);
May God’s power shake the land of China and correct (纠jiū) its transgressions;
May the Church be revived, and God’s salvation (救jiù) be made manifest!
Initiators (the list below will grow longer over time):
Rev. Sean Long, Zion Church / Zion Global Ministry
Rev. Hong Yujian, Faith Chinese Baptist Church (Vancouver)
Rev. Zhang Boli, Harvest Chinese Christian Church (Los Angeles)

2. Proposal to Designate the 9th of Every Month as a “Day of Fasting and Prayer for Persecuted Churches in China”
Since the “October 9th” Zion Church case in 2025, Zion Church has garnered widespread attention from the international community and received intercessory support from churches around the globe. Many brothers and sisters in Christ worldwide—embracing the spirit of “suffering together” (1 Corinthians 12:26)—have united in prayer for the persecuted Zion Church, and indeed for the broader Church in China. Inspired by the work of the Holy Spirit, we propose establishing the 9th of every month as a standing “Day of Fasting and Prayer for Persecuted Churches in China.” On the 9th of each month, we encourage brothers and sisters to observe a full-day fast—guided by the leading of the Holy Spirit and their own physical health—thereby devoting themselves wholeheartedly to both personal and corporate prayer on behalf of the persecuted Church in China. We look forward to seeing this monthly prayer movement coordinate, connect, and work in complementarity with existing prayer ministries—such as the “International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church in China” (IDOP China), the “5:00 PM in China” Kingdom Prayer Gathering initiated by Early Rain Covenant Church, and the “Outdoor Morning Prayer Meeting” hosted by the North American Baptist Church of the Faithful—so that, together, we may build a spiritual “wall of prayer.”
II. Intercessory Prayer Suggestions
1. Standing Prayer Points:
(1) Pray for the persecuted Church in China, for individual Christians, and for their families.
In Chinese, the number “nine” (九jiǔ) is homophonous with the word for “long-lasting” or “how long” (久jiǔ). Thus, on the 9th of every month, we raise our voices in unison to cry out: “O Lord, how long must we wait? Until when will You delay in avenging Your people who are being mistreated and persecuted?” (Psalm 13:1; Revelation 6:10). We pray, O Lord, that in accordance with Your perfect and good will, and at Your appointed time, You would release Your servants—both men and women—who are currently bound and imprisoned. May Your enduring grace and peace ever abide with those who suffer persecution for the sake of righteousness, as well as with their families; may You preserve and strengthen Your children—both those within high walls and those outside them—enabling them all to live out the indomitable freedom found in Christ. May the Lord show mercy and offer comfort to families that have been shaken and distressed—especially the women and children among them—personally acting as their Protector, Vindicator, and Provider; and, through the Church—the household of God—may You support them in all their needs: spiritual, financial, legal, and emotional.
(2) A Prayer for Religious Freedom, Respect for Human Rights, and the Rule of Law in China
Since the number “nine” (九jiǔ) sounds like “to correct” (纠jiū), we humbly intercede on the ninth day of every month: O Lord, may You “look upon this sinful kingdom” (Amos 9:8) and correct and blot out our sins and transgressions (Acts 3:19)—specifically, the hostility shown across the land of China toward the true God, and the persecution inflicted by those in authority in this land against the people who belong to God. We pray, O Lord, that You would correct and revoke all “unlawful laws” that violate China's Constitution, international norms, and divine law—including subsidiary regulations such as the new “Regulations on Religious Affairs” and the “Measures for the Administration of Internet Religious Information Services”—thereby guaranteeing religious freedom for all Chinese citizens, including the liberty to express and practice the Christian faith in both physical and cyberspace. We pray that You would bless and transform China and those in authority over it, that they may revere Heaven and love their neighbors, punish evil and promote good, uphold justice in the application of the law, and serve the best interests of both the nation and its people.
(3) A Prayer that God Would Refine and Revive the Church—in China and Globally—Through Persecution
Since the number “nine” (九jiǔ) also sounds like “salvation” (救jiù), we fervently pray on the ninth day of every month: O Lord, may You “bring salvation to the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 49:6; Acts 13:47). We pray, O Lord, not merely that You would deliver the Church to triumph over persecution and tribulation, but rather that—as the Church walks the path of the Cross—the Gospel of Christ may reach even more souls, thereby fulfilling God's redemptive plan. O Lord, from the very inception of the New Testament Church, throughout the two-thousand-year history of the universal Church, and indeed within the history of the house churches in China, You have consistently utilized persecution and tribulation to refine and revive Your Church. We pray that the Lord will continue to raise up the Chinese church—pressing forward courageously amidst persecution—to willingly serve as instruments in God's hands, inspiring the global church to unite in heart to advance the Gospel, collaborate in expanding God's Kingdom, and share together in the mission of evangelism.
2. Specific Prayer Requests:
In addition to the standing prayer requests mentioned above, the prayer meeting held on the 9th of each month may incorporate specific prayer requests gathered according to the circumstances of that particular month. For example: The prayer meeting on December 9, 2025, will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the “Living Stone Church Case” in Guiyang and the 7th anniversary of the “Early Rain Covenant Church Case” in Chengdu; it will also feature a time of fasting and prayer specifically for Pastor Jin Mingri and other detained pastors and co-workers from Zion Church, praying that they may be granted access to and permission to read the Bible while held in the Beihai Detention Center.
III. Suggestions for Participation
1. Participate in the joint signing initiative on behalf of a church or organization, thereby becoming a co-initiator of this campaign.
Please send your signing request via email to: [email protected]
Please clearly state the name of your church or organization, as well as the name of the person in charge.
2. Volunteer—on behalf of a church or organization—to take responsibility for organizing and preparing the prayer meeting held on the 9th of a specific month.
For example: Zion Church and its affiliated Holy Word Alliance might volunteer to take charge of the prayer meeting held on October 9th each year;
Early Rain Covenant Church or Living Stone Church might volunteer to take charge of the prayer meeting held on December 9th each year.
3. Participate as an individual or a team in the activities and ministry service associated with the monthly prayer meetings held on the 9th.
Brothers and sisters from all churches are warmly invited to make a commitment to participate in the fasting and prayer meetings held on the 9th of every month.
Individual Christians and teams are encouraged to volunteer their services in various capacities during the monthly prayer meetings held on the 9th.
We hereby pledge to gather on the 9th (九jiǔ) of every month—united in heart and mind—to fast and pray on behalf of the persecuted church in China:
May our faith, refined by fire, grow ever stronger even over long time (久jiǔ);
May God’s power shake the land of China and correct (纠jiū) its transgressions;
May the Church be revived, and God’s salvation (救jiù) be made manifest!
Initiators (the list below will grow longer over time):
Rev. Sean Long, Zion Church / Zion Global Ministry
Rev. Hong Yujian, Faith Chinese Baptist Church (Vancouver)
Rev. Zhang Boli, Harvest Chinese Christian Church (Los Angeles)
Rev. Chen Biao, Early Rain Covenant Church / Early Rain Ministries

为持守圣经真理的主的教会祷告🧎🙏

《致家庭教会众肢体的代祷信》
——关于北京锡安教会与西安锡安之光教会案件等的最新进展

主内亲爱的众教会牧者、同工和弟兄姐妹们：

愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠、平安，与您们同在！

去年10月，因着锡安教牧同工遭遇的突发情况，我们曾向众教会发出过紧急代祷信 。那时，锡安教会在全国各地有近30名牧者同工相继被拘留或失联。锡安教会自2007年在北京建立以来，始终持守圣经真理，并在各样的限制与压力中，持续地关怀社会弱势群体、投身福音使命 。作为蒙基督呼召在中国各地家庭教会服事的牧者 ，我们深知，这并非单一教会的艰难，而是整个基督身体的共同经历与伤痛 。

如今，时间来到2026年3月底。根据锡安教案家属及关切团队于3月27日发出的最新通报，案件在经历了近半年的侦查后，目前已面临关键的程序转折——办案人员已对被羁押于北海看守所的牧者同工进行了集中审讯，案件即将移交检察院审查起诉。

然而，在这个法律程序的关键时刻，案件的辩护律师团队却遭遇了前所未有的重创与执业危机。曾有17位律师参与此案辩护的北京凯门律师事务所正面临巨大的行政压力，包括张凯律师在内的多位核心主辩律师，相继遭遇吊销执照或被处以停业整顿的处罚，导致多位律师被迫向当事人提出解约。

目前，教案中18位牧者同工的合法辩护权益正面临极其严峻的挑战。西安锡安之光教会的高全福牧师及同工也有类似的辩护公正危机。

面对法律援助资源被大幅削减的现状，我们持续关注此类案件的进展，并在爱的责任与公义良知中，向神祷告让有关部门能够秉公执法，尊重并保障每一位公民及被告人的合法辩护权，停止对正当履行职责的辩护律师进行行政施压。正如圣经所启示的：“世人哪，耶和华已指示你何为善。他向你所要的是什么呢？只要你行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心，与你的神同行。”（弥6:8）我们深信，地上的辩护或许会暂时受阻，但在掌管万有的至高者面前，公义与良知绝不会缺席。

为此，我们再次紧急呼吁各地众教会的牧者、同工和弟兄姐妹们，继续在守望中为锡安教会、锡安之光教会及案件的相关人员切切祷告：

• 为被羁押在狱中的牧者同工祷告： 求主与他们同在，就如当年的保罗一样，赐给他们出人意外的平安，信心与喜乐的生命，以及在狱中的见证。
• 为遭遇执业危机的辩护律师祷告： 我们为这些在重压之下依然坚守法律底线、勇敢提供援助的律师们祷告，愿神赐给他们更坚韧的勇气，也呼吁更多满有正义感的法律工作者被兴起，不畏艰难地维护法律尊严。
• 为检察院及相关办案人员祷告： 求主光照接手案件的公诉人及司法人员，唤醒他们的良知与恻隐之心。使他们能够真正依法办案，以公义与和平化解社会矛盾，保障公民的宗教信仰自由及基本人权。
• 为受难者家属及教会会众祷告： 求主做他们随时的帮助与避难所（诗46:1）。在法律资源受限的困境中，愿圣灵亲自安慰家属的心，供应他们一切的需用。也求主使他们以宽恕的心态面对困境，活出基督复活的大能。
• 为更多教会兴起合一代祷而祷告：为更多的教会能够在各样患难中兴起合一祷告，愿意为了持守信仰忍受逼迫及冤屈苦难，并乐意在基督的患难中有份而祷告。

“义人多有苦难，但耶和华救他脱离这一切。”（诗34:19）愿众教会在这充满挑战的时刻，继续与哀哭的人同哭，在祷告中彰显基督身体的连结与关爱！

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

3/30/2026 ZCT 更新：
锡安教案辩护权面临严峻挑战，司法独立荡然无存
【发稿时间】 2026年3月30日
【发布主体】 锡安教案家属及法律维权观察团
【关键词】 辩护权利 / 取保候审 / 医疗人道 / 司法公正
核心概要：程序公义陷落，辩护权被非法剥夺
【锡安教案 - 广西北海】 历时半年的“锡安教案”现已进入关键的法律程序转折期。在侦查终结、案件即将移交检察院之际，我们深切关注到辩护律师团队正面临前所未有的执业阻力。行政干预导致多位律师无法正常履行职责，使18位被羁押牧者在复杂的法律程序面前几近失去专业辩护。我们在此呼吁：回归法治轨道，尊重律师执业权，并基于人道主义立场，对患病同工采取必要的变更强制措施。
一、 侦查终结之际：保障审讯的公正性
据悉，被羁押于北海看守所的同工于3月底接受了密集的“末次审讯”。办案人员告知案件即将移交起诉。家属及观察团诚恳希望：在缺乏律师有效参与的“空窗期”，相关部门应严格遵守法定程序，杜绝心理压力施加，确保每一份口供的自愿性与合法性。缺乏法律顾问见证的法律程序，其公正性难以经受历史的检验。
二、 恳请关注：基于人道主义的取保候审呼吁
在案件即将送检的过程中，家属及社群不仅关注法律程序的正义，更忧心羁押人员的身心健康。以下同工身体状况极度堪忧，急需获得看守所外的医疗干预，我们呼吁相关部门依法批准其取保候审：
● 汪中： 曾接受心脏重大手术，目前两条大动脉阻塞严重，随时面临生命威胁，需要不间断的专业医疗观察。
● 安梅： 曾进行甲状腺肿瘤手术，恢复期极易受环境压力影响导致病情反复，不宜长期处于高压羁押环境。
● 金明日： 长期患有糖尿病，在羁押与饮食限制下，血糖波动剧烈，极需专业观察以防发生不可逆的器官病变。
● 尹会彬：患有严重的腰间盘突出，有时甚至无法长时间站立。近期牙齿松动，腿关节疼痛，需要接受检查，进行治疗。
● 战歌：家族心血管疾病，血液循环不畅。一侧身体有严重麻木酸胀感。急需全面检查，进行治疗。
三、 系统的职业清除：大规模“解约潮”背后的权力黑手
律师是法治的基石，但目前锡安教案的律师团队正遭遇系统性的职业困境：
1. 律所遭“连坐”式报复：北京凯门律师事务所作为主要的法律援助方，正面临“行政灭口” ：司法局胁迫“自行注销律所”，否则“后果自付”。负责人张凯律师继去年年底被限制出入境后，又被吊销从业执照，多位律师被停业半年，导致该所代理的所有锡安教案均陷入“无律师”状态。
2. 受处罚的律师名单：
○ 首轮受限制： 张凯（吊照）、邓庆高（处罚）、杨耀华（停业）、李春富（停业）、葛现洋（停业）、刘安强（停业）、唐仙龙（停业）。
○ 第二轮受限制： 赵青山（停业半年）。
3. 被胁迫解约的重担： 司法部门通过约谈等胁迫律师们：1）退出凯门律所；2）解除为锡安辩护协议。这直接损害了被告人合法的辩护权利。
○ 受影响的辩护人及委托人： 曾玥（金明日）、周方雨（吴秋雨）、冯欣雨（战歌）、张一凡（孙聪）、丁俊杰（刘桢彬）、张月飞（林书铖）、魏敬民（王聪）、张钰涵（李盛娟）。
○ 胁迫还在持续。。。
四、 严正声明与全球行动呼吁：
面对此种 “在关了灯的黑暗屋子里为所欲为！”的司法构陷，家属及关切团队发表如下严正立场：
1. 强烈谴责行政干预司法： 我们要求立即停止对辩护律师的行政施压，恢复相关律师的执业资格，确保18位牧者拥有自主选择律师的权利。
2. 追究执法者责任： 任何破坏司法程序、恐吓辩护律师的公职人员必将被钉在历史的耻辱柱上。我们保留向监察部门及国际人权组织提交证据的权利。
3. 启动全球紧急关注： 敦促各国政府、议会及人权机构运用外交渠道，就中国司法体系对辩护权的系统性剥夺提出严正交涉。
4. 维护生命安全： 我们重申对病患人员生命权的尊重，呼吁办案单位以人为本，尽快释放急需治疗的同工。
5. 记录与反馈： 锡安家属正依法收集关于司法程序中违规行为的信息。知情者可反馈至：[email protected]
“我们深信，法律的初衷是维护公义与仁爱。在光照之下，一切真相终将大白。”
