In sheer numbers, China is the world’s worst persecutor of Christians. More Christians are currently in Chinese prisons than in all other countries’ prisons combined. Communist Party leaders continue their attempts to control all aspects of the lives of Chinese people. In spite of government efforts, the church continues to grow.
Mr. Zhang Yi-nan was arrested the morning of September 26, 2003, along with Mr. Xiao Bi-guang, another house church leader who was released after 15 days of Administrative Detention. Zhang’s wife Ding Guizhen, a nurse, was removed from her post in the operating room and taken to their home, where Public Security Bureau officers confiscated documents and a computer. Zhang has been charged with “subverting the Chinese government and socialist order.” The authorities apparently used his personal prayer journal against him.
