In the past, due to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) 129 crackdown, authorities imprisoned Elder Li for eight months, Afterwards, authorities released him on bail and transported him back to his hometown where he remained for a year. In September, after Elder Li’s bail ended in August 2020, he, his wife, and children returned to Chengdu where he continued to serve the church. Chengdu police’s harassment and persecution of him also continued. |

Each Sunday morning, police arrived at Elder Li’s residence, knocked on his door, and summoned him to the police station. Officers also threatened to involve his wife and their children. Meanwhile, Chengdu police escalated their repression on other ERCC congregants, frequently summoning them to their station as well. In November 2020, police forced Li Yingqiang’s family to move to Mianyang. While Elder Li lived in Mianyang, police contracted to shut off the water, electricity, and gas to his apartment.
Li Yingqiang has been prepared for being jailed again since being released from the detention center. On June 11, he deliberately played chess with our little son twice. He left home early today [June 12]. Last night, our youngest son cried and asked, “Daddy, will you promise you will return home tomorrow?”
Elder Li did not promise.Nevertheless, we have peace in our hearts,We ate fried rice.Thank you for praying for us.
