On November 9, 2023, approximately 320 devices of brothers and sisters were online participating in the “China’s Five O’clock in the Afternoon” Kingdom Prayer Meeting.
Less than two weeks after the Chengdu 1028 church incident, a church incident occurred again today in Dazhou, Sichuan. Preacher Dai Zhichao, Elder Li Yingqiang, Preacher An Yankui, and 12 other brothers and sisters were taken away by the authorities.
At that time, they were at the Dazhou Haotudi Preaching House serving baptism and communion in a hotel meeting room. Around 11:30 a.m., during the Amen Song of the meeting, they were suddenly intruded upon by a group of more than ten people, including police, political security, religious affairs bureau, and civil affairs bureau. Around 12:30 p.m., a total of twelve brothers and sisters were taken to police cars and brought to the Chaoyang Police Station in Dazhou, currently waiting at the case handling center.

Lord, please look after Your servants, take care of Your children who love You faithfully. Grant them peace of heart, and when they are brought before kings and princes time and again, when they are brought before the authority of the sword, give them the words to say. In the presence of the police, political security, religious affairs bureau, civil affairs bureau, and other staff, grant them strength and courage, wisdom and gentleness, to bear witness to the Gospel before foreigners. This prayer is made in the holy name of Jesus Christ, who was crucified for us in Egypt, Amen!
