They do this, they explain in their website, by exposing the abuses, encouraging the abused and equipping the saints to advance the kingdom of God throughout China.Christmas in China ... a SILENCED Night for Tina Tian
"This Christmas, we invite you to walk with the persecuted faithful by providing a Christmas gift that will go to family members of prisoners like Tina Tian."
- Bob Fu
"MIDLAND, TEXAS – Across China this Christmas, some Christian families will not be exchanging gifts and singing joyous carols with family members and friends. Instead of “Silent Night, Holy Night, All is calm, All is bright,” for these families, Christmas Eve will be a SILENCED night because a mother or father or other family member is missing – either serving a prison sentence or in police custody for their faith.
A young mother sitting in a prison 175 miles southwest of Beijing will think of her two young sons – one just a year-old, the other 8-years-old – and wonder if they have watched the Christmas video message she left for them and her husband last year, just before she had to return to prison after the birth of her second child to finish serving a three-year sentence for printing Bibles and Christian books.

'Tina' is not the only Christian in China whose Christmas will be SILENCED.
The whereabouts of Christian human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng remains a mystery nearly three years after he disappeared into police custody in February 2009. Is he still alive to celebrate Christmas this year?
And Uyghur Christian Alimujiang remains imprisoned, serving a 15-year prison sentence. How will his wife and two little boys celebrate this fourth Christmas without him?
You can help break the SILENCE of this Christmas by sending a Christmas card to 'Tina' in prison:"
