As you know, I’m the Editor for the Voice of the Martyrs Persecution Blog and this is what I posted there today. Please join us in getting more signatures!
Have you ever had a day when you just woke up and wanted to do a happy dance? Well, today I woke up and when I saw that the numbers on this petition have risen to over 43,000 signatures, I tell you I felt like dancing like King David of old did! I think it is so cool to see so many people supporting this dear and precious pastor, which is why I want to ask you again to get the word out and let’s see if we can get 100,000 signatures for Pastor Bike :) Ready, set….GO…
On August 6, just two days before the Olympics began, Pastor Zhang "Bike" Mingxuan was arrested, along with his wife and a coworker. In response to these arrests, The Voice of the Martyrs and China Aid Association have launched a petition drive to free these three Christians and to let the Chinese government know that the world is aware that these Christians are being detained.
Pastor Bike, as he is affectionately known, is considered to be one of the most outspoken evangelists in China. He is a bold believer willing to cross borders, hand out Christian literature and Bibles, share Christ with those under age 18 and lead thousands to Christ. All these actions are considered "illegal," in communist China. Earlier this year, Pastor Bike pleaded with VOM staff and China Aid Association to create the China Prayer Bands so that Christians in the free world could know more about persecution of Christians in China.
