Being a Christian in China can be very costly, resulting in prison sentences and abuse. Ping Tian Ci has encountered many trials while standing for the Lord.
In 2004 the government raided his house and all his belongings were confiscated. He was imprisoned for 40 days and endured daily torture. He was beaten until he collapsed. They stripped him naked, pulled his hair, deafened his ears and more, yet he remained silent through the strength of the Lord.
Ping was released to a labour camp and was forced to endure even more pain as his severely wounded body failed him. He slipped into a coma twice and suffered a heart attack because of prolonged malnutrition in addition to his injuries.
After 18 months in prison and the prison labour camp, Ping was released. His joy was tempered by the fact that his left foot needed an operation to repair the insurmountable damage it suffered while in prison.
“His grace is sufficient. Even when I doubted and grumbled, He gently reminds me to remain steadfast on the path He has forged for me. He reassures me, and He sends His fellow servants to encourage and comfort me. Someone like you that I have never met, is praying and support my family while I am in prison. This really touches my heart. 
Thank you so much for your kindness and love. I wish the best for all of us, if only we have the faith to trust Him! May the Lord be our help, and we yearn for the coming of His Kingdom!”
Please help us support the people of China who desperately need funds to survive amidst imprisonment and poverty.
