Fu will speak about the latest persecution of house churches in China, the continued disappearance of Christian human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng into police custody and the deteriorating situation of blind activist Chen Guangcheng, as well as the broader issues of religious freedom and the rule of law in China’s future.
In addition to Fu’s address, the conference will include: the latest news about persecuted Christians around the world; opportunities to pray together for our brothers and sisters and a project to write a message to Christians being persecuted in China.

On the same trip, Fu will also travel to Northern Ireland, London, Liverpool and Amsterdam to meet with Christian leaders, NGOs, members of parliament and government officials. He will also be conducting radio interviews.
Fu founded ChinaAid in 2002 to draw international attention to China’s gross human rights violations against house church Christians, monitors and reports on religious freedom violations in China. Drawing on a wide network of sources throughout the country, ChinaAid issues frequent news releases on cases of religious persecution in China. The Midland, Texas-based organization also assists victims of religious persecution to assert their rights and works to promote the rule of law in China.
ChinaAid has earned an international reputation as a reliable source of the most up-to-date information about religious persecution and the overall human rights situation in China. Fu has testified before many government and international organizations, including various U.S. congressional committees, the European Parliament and the U.N. Commission on Human Rights.
