Christian Freedom International calls on International community To Stand Up for Christians in China

Dear Friend,

With the Olympics less than a year away, Beijing is set to achieve a major propaganda victory.

Yet the so-called People's Republic of China just launched another church crackdown, arresting at least 15 Christian leaders in six provinces.



Fortunately, you and I can do something. We don't have to purchase Chinese toys or products.


I urge you to call, write, or email the Chinese embassy in Washington and the following companies to explain why.


Walmart | Toys R Us | Mattel | Hasbro | Target


Here is the email address for the Chinese embassy in Washington:

chinaembassy_us@fmprc.gov.cn, or call (202) 328-2500.

You can simply say, "Unless China allows religious freedom and stops the persecution of Christians I will not buy products made in China."


We can--we must--shame the Chinese government for denying its citizens the freedom to worship God.


I know such a strategy might not bear immediate fruit, but in following the Gospel pattern we would be planting seeds for the future.


We must never forget the plight of our brothers and sisters abroad--whether in China or elsewhere.


Please forward this alert to others.



Sincerely,

Jim Jacobson
Christian Freedom International
