ChinaAid learned that Pastor "Bike" Zhang Mingxuan received 17,000 yuan on January 5, 2009 from the Director of the Public Security Bureau branch office of Chaoyang district, Beijing.
Public Security Bureau officials attacked Pastor Bike's family, In October 2008, beating his sons and forcing the family out of their apartment. The 17,000 yuan covers the cost of medical bills for Pastor Bike's youngest son, Zhang Jian, who was badly beaten by PSB officers, as well as the cost of the fine incurred for the early termination of the family's apartment rental agreement.
It is the opinion of those most closely involved in the case that this payment of 17,000 yuan is an indirect admission of guilt that the PSB directed the attack against Pastor Bike's family in October 2008. PSB officers blamed Pastor Bike for causing "extremely bad publicity" for them when he was given the funds.. Because the PSB made this unprecedented gesture, taking some responsibility for their actions, Pastor Bike withdrew his lawsuit against them.
ChinaAid is thankful for all who spoke out on behalf of Pastor Bike. Your prayers and efforts are definately making an impact in China.
Christian Web News - Jesus has a way of getting right to the point, doesn't He? There was certainly no mincing of words, He came right out and said, "why are you fearful?" and then went on to say, "O you of little faith." You don't have to read between the lines to see what He was saying, they had little faith.
Christian Web News - Galatians 3:13-14. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree''), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
