Midland-based Group Delivers Petition to Chinese Embassy; Seeks Pastor's Release

Washington, D.C. - The China Aid Association delivered a package to the Embassy of China in Washington, DC, containing a letter to Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong, with approximately 57,000 names on 619 pages of a petition to free Pastor Zhang “Bike” Mingxuan and his wife. The letter urged the Chinese government to look beyond the physical needs, and to consider the deeper, fundamental need for personal freedom in decisions of faith and belief - when this need is fully acknowledged by authorities, the resulting freedom strengthens the people and the country for honorable prosperity. Pastor Bike and his wife were released from authoritative supervision on August 29, but are prohibited from returning to Beijing until the end of the Paralympics in September.

The China Aid Association is a non-profit Christian organization - based in Midland, Texas - with a mission to uncover and reveal the truth about religious persecution in China, focusing especially on the unofficial church. 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.
