Free Zhiwen Wang!
Zhiwen Wang suffers in a Chinese prison because he believes in certain ideas more than in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and he was willing to express that belief to a high ranking member of that Party. As a Falun Gong practitioner he was simply expressing the fundamentals of his ethical/spiritual belief in truth, compassion, and forbearance (tolerance) to those around him. But, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, talking to the wrong person, and for that he is now halfway through a 16 year prison term.
Zhiwen's daughter is unrelenting in her campaign to secure the release of her father and his fellow imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners. She will travel the Globe to take advantage of opportunities to bring their unjust imprisonment and the unjust persecution of the masses of Falun Gong practitioners in China to the attention of a seeming apathetic world, as she recently did by traveling to Australia to hold a press conference outside the APEC meetings. She endures persecution from afar, right in her home in Austin, Texas as the CCP follows up her press conferences and other media outreaches with Internet postings (in Chinese) aimed to discredit, defame, and attack her.
The upcoming 2008 "Genocide Olympics" in Beijing could be an opportunity for something to break for Zhiwen Wang and the Falun Gong, but only if the US and European countries are willing to confront the Communist authorities. Will Bush's Compassionate Conservatism translate into a rebuke of his host for such human rights abuses when he attends the Olympics? I wouldn't hold my breath waiting to hear about it. But, Danielle might hold hers.
For Zhiwen, to have a daughter like Danielle, willing to lay down her life and take on the evil of the Chinese Communist Party, indeed of the world system, assured in her heart that through her efforts you will be set free from an unjust imprisonment, now that is success as a father, whether you remain in bonds or are set free.

As a Christian, I feel that when I stand up for the downtrodden and oppressed they see Christ in me. To stand with and express Christ's love to them in this way, even though they may not believe in Christ is something He calls me to do. Please pray for Zhiwen, Danielle, and the Falun Gong of China. Please see the stories linked below to learn more and to know better what to pray for.
