Pastor Detained on Fraud Charges After Church Raid

Christian Today Korea (크리스천투데이) China

A pastor's wife announced that her husband was arrested in a city in northern China on fraud charges following a raid on a local church. The incident occurred in early September when police detained seven church workers during preparations for a significant anniversary event. While the workers were released on bail, the pastor was formally arrested later that month and is held in a district detention center. The family claims the congregation’s voluntary donations were falsely labeled as fraud funds. They are urging global Christians to pray for the pastor’s health and the church’s protection against ongoing harassment.

Christian Today Korea (크리스천투데이) China

A pastor in China was formally arrested on fraud charges following a police raid on a 20th-anniversary preparation event. His wife, a foreign national currently abroad, has publicly appealed for global prayer support. While seven colleagues were detained and later released on bail, the pastor remains held in a local detention center. This incident highlights ongoing pressures on independent house churches in the region, reflecting years of restricted worship practices and state scrutiny against private religious gatherings.
