Christian Bookstore Employee Released In China

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

A Christian man who was working to help other Christians open a bookstore in Shanxi Province, China is being released from a Chinese prison.

Wenxi Li, a native of Beijing, has been working with Chrisitans in Shanxi when he was asked to come to a police station on December 19, 2012 to pick up books that had been seized by authorities.  When he arrived, he was immediately arrested and thrown in jail.

They denied him bail and he was sentenced to two years in prison on June 17, 2013.

Family members say that they are optimistic the Chinese government will follow through on their word to release Wenxi.  He has been transferred to a prison where he’s receiving better medical treatment and food and has been able to make short phone calls to his family.

His wife, Cal Hong Li, told Voice of the Martyrs that her husband has been able to share Christ with many of his fellow prisoners during his time behind bars.  She said that she is thankful God found him worthy to suffer for His sake.

Cal Hong said she hopes her husband will take some time to rest and spend time with her before going back into the field to serve Christ.

  1. Let all of the Christians remember to lift up our Christian’s Brother’s and Sister’s in China in prayer, not only in China but all over the world for we all need each other and must pray for each other as well as our leader’s and our President to seek wisdom from our Lord and Savior Jesus.
