Chinese Pastor Sentenced To Nearly 6 Years for Fighting Cross Removal, CCP Oppression

February 23, 2021 by Staff

(Open Doors) Once again, we’re reminded of the urgent need to pray with the church in China. The sentence for the leader of a large house church was recently handed down. For the next five-and-a-half years, Pastor Li Juncai, will spend his life inside prison walls as a political prisoner. He was also fined 210,000 yuan ($32,423).

Pastor Juncai’s crime? He objected to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) forcible removal of the cross atop Yuanyang County Central House Church in Henan province. He also refused to change a church proclamation: “Love God and people,” to “Love the country.”

Li Chao, Pastor Juncai’s son, contends that CCP authorities fabricated all the charges against his father because he took a retaliatory stand against the state’s demolition of the church’s cross—as well as the CCP’s general oppression of house churches.
