Pastor Chris Hill of The Potter’s House Denver is rumored to have stepped down or is about to quit his post after he has been accused by his wife of having an affair with a married woman whom he considered as his “spiritual daughter.”
In an interview with Radio Free Asia, Pastor Cao Sanqiang’s mother confirmed that he was initially detained on mar. 5 and that she has not heard any update for almost 30 days now. Another pastor who works with him in the “house church” network China Ministries International said Cao is being held at the Menglian Detention Center over charges of “organizing the illegal crossing of a national border.”
“Cao Sanqiang was in Wa state helping them to build a school, and he was involved in other poverty reduction projects,” the pastor, whose name has not been mentioned, said. “But the border was recent closed completely because of the fighting.”

According to a Protestant church member in Yunnan, Chinese authorities are usually stricter compared with Myanmar authorities when it comes to illegal border crossings. People do not usually get caught crossing to Myanmar but fall into trouble when crossing to China.
Meanwhile, people displaced by the conflict are flocking to a relief camp in Yunnan. Camp aid manager Li Yinzhong said more and more people come every day and they have to take care of them until they can return to their homes, Reuters reports.
On Mar. 6, the rebel Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army attacked Myanmar police and military forces in Laukkai, leading to the death of 30 people. The violence also caused the people of Kokang to flee from the region. Chinese paramilitary forces, on the other hand, have reportedly sent reinforcements to help in disaster
When the doctor revealed to his employer that he did not wish to register with the Communist party and surrender his religion. He was forced to leave his position and the hospital relieved him “of all [his] duties, and [he] had to leave the medical school” (Yiwu, 86). That same doctor faced additional persecution when he left China to give a talk about his work to a church in the United States. He was prevented from returning to China. When considering the authors use of sourcing and evidence, I find that he has a comprehensive and well throughout collection which truly supports his effort to bring religious freedom to China.
Joshua Wong does not like the current Chinese government state. Right now China is in a communist state, where the government controls the economy, and one single person holds most of the power. He doesn’t like this form of government because it is not split equal among authorities. So he wants the power to be split equally and have somebody elected by the people. He also led the umbrella movement in 2014. The umbrella movement was a movement simultaneously created by protesters during the 2014 Hong Kong
Read Martyn Stewart's Story ACTIVISM GONE BAD IN YULIN, CHINA. You'll quickly discover that it pretty much matches what we have been saying about Marc Ching's lack of credibility and his willingness to lie to his followers to produce a response that would not only bring him personal adulations but also undeserved donations.
Refugee Camps At this moment, thousands of people are walking miles upon miles, in pain. They are seeking shelter in a refugee camp, which is not ideal. Maybe they are weakening their health and feet for better work, or maybe safety. But these camps are not safe at all.
“The CCP has absolute control over law enforcement and judicial system, and it uses both to stifle calls from Chinese citizens for freedom, human rights, and rule of law,” the U.S. Department of State explains. “Authorities regularly detain those who do not conform to CCP ideology,” (China’s Disregard for Human
Piaget says that people learn things by organizing new experiences into existing schemes, or patterns of behavior and thought. That is, people’s cognitive development occurs when they adapt their thought processes and organize them into new or modified schemes, a process he calls equilibration ( McLeod, 2015). I believe that harry is the formal operational stage because Harry and his friends work together to solve problems trying to get tough a series of challenges in order the get the stone in the movie Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone around the two hour marker, and most of the challenges are life threatening to say the least but they make it though, and according to piaget's theory of cognitive development at this stage The ability to systematically plan for the future and reason about hypothetical situations are also critical abilities that emerge during this stage (McLeod, 2015).
Now he is being held under investigation for refusing to take orders from a higher ranking officer. Police Chief Chuck Jordan the higher ranking officer is now saying “I would never assign a police officer to participate in a religious service, this is about a group of people who bonded together
Imagine. Imagine having the continuous feeling of needing to act a certain way because that is what the government wants. Imagine having to worship in an underground church because of belonging to the "wrong" religion. Imagine being blind and not being able to learn because the government cannot accept a disability. Lastly, imagine being killed because of simply disagreeing. This is everyday life in China for many people because of what the Communist Chinese government has caused for decades. Human Rights Abuse in China has caused millions of deaths and permanent injuries. In 1979, the One Child Policy was created and ever since then the abuse has escalated into being a normal part of lives. On June 4 1989, the government took the abuse to a whole other level. This fateful day was called the Tiananmen Square crackdown. This was the day of millions of deaths. China's government truly takes human rights violations to an extreme and has caused fear among their people. The government has previously claimed
Sometimes they would be deported and went back to China. People like Victor Wong of the Vancouver Association of Chinese Canadians were defending the immigrants, "These people have suffered. They have been incarcerated all this time [eight months]and now they are forcibly repatriated without the dignity of advance notice,". The
Accordingly, I relied on Abby to set the tone in an opening presentation at the Southwest China anti-fraud conference, Post’s flagship anti-fraud event that brings together U.S. officials, multilateral partners, and local law enforcement to cooperate on combating visa fraud. Abby’s command of the room and of the difficult subject matter captivated our audience and laid out a roadmap of success for the day’s event. Furthermore, Abby’s cable on engagement between the U.S. and Chinese official travelers from Tibet tapped into core Mission agenda and policy discussions on how to increase U.S. engagement in Tibet by providing analysis on areas where we’ve already had success with these officials. She delivers relevant reporting that provides value-added insight to Mission and Washington
As a Christian, we are compelled to speak the word of God and to spread the good news. Would you speak the word and the good news of God if doing so was against the law? Would you trust that God would keep you safe? What if you were thrown in jail, would you still continue to serve God and do as He commands? Xiqiu Fu, also known as Bob, served God and did as He commanded throughout even though it was against the law. Bob lived in China, where Communism runs wild. Being a Christian in China was very dangerous, but Bob was involved in underground churches, illegally printing Bibles, and holding Christian schooling. The law eventually caught up with Bob and he was thrown into jail. While in jail, Bob never once doubted God. Every situation that was handed to Bob, he used it as a way to serve God or to spread his good news.
This breaks down to 15.2 million refugees, 26.4 million internally displaced persons and 895,000 asylum seekers. Countries that experience internal conflict and civil unrest produce the largest numbers of refugees. Afghanistan is the leading country of origin for refugees, followed by Iraq and Syria. All three countries are experiencing protracted violence. 80 percent of refugees flee to developing nations. The Salvation Army is committed to providing care for asylum seekers in Nauru and Manus Island regardless of politics or popularity. As an organisation they have provided care and support for the world’s vulnerable and suffering since 1865. Asylum seekers in the RPCs are facing uncertainty; they are isolated and incredibly vulnerable. As a Christian organisation, the Salvation Army are motivated by the love of Christ and passionate about helping vulnerable people. In Matthew 25:35-40 Jesus tells his disciples: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ In The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) Jesus tells the story of a man who is beaten and left for dead on the side of the road. A religious leader passes by and ignores him. The man is then found by a complete stranger – who also happens to be from a different religious group – who stops and helps tend to his injuries. The mandate of this parable is clear; that we are to care for the suffering, the vulnerable and hurting, regardless of who they might be. We are to be a neighbour to all.
Historians have been constantly disputed the root cause of passing the Chinese Exclusion Act, Erika Lee in her book, At America’s Gates, she said, “rather than emphasizing the ‘labor’ aspect of Chinese Exclusion”, she emphasizes, “the western part of the equation”, also she arguing that “the late 19th –century U.S. West became the birthplace of anti-Chinese legislation because of the ‘history of extending and reinforcing white supremacy in the region and its unique relationship with the federal government.” However, Mr. King is lucky; because of religious reason, he cannot stay in China anymore, he came to America to apply for political asylum in 2005. For the reason of religious, I do not talk about too much; I only can say the background was China’s only one failure
My book report is on the book 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone' by J.K.
Every year, there are approximately 150,000 deaths and 200 million people affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises (Thomas, 2003). Natural disasters alone, which include various occurrences, cause substantial disruptions such as the temporary displacement of more than five million people. According to the Fritz institute, statistics show that uprooted people from humanitarian crises such as civil conflict and war is greater, with an average of 13 million refugees and 20 million internally displaced people each year. As the biggest worldwide participants in the relief effort in the global community, disaster relief organizations are the forerunners of the help supplied to people affected by catastrophic events.
