Death threats against a Chinese pastor in Texas

Published

on

An exiled Chinese pastor who leads a Texas-based organization assisting Christians in China has been targeted with protests, harassment and death threats initiated by a Chinese multi-millionaire.

Wengui Guo, who uses the name Miles Kwok in the United States, threatened Bob Fu and other Chinese pastors and nationals in the US.

KOSA-TV in Midland, Texas, reported Kwok, who the New York Times called an “exiled billionaire whistle-blower,” announced via YouTube he was sending protesters to Fu’s house because he says Fu is a communist spy.

Fu, the founder of ChinaAid, says it is Kwok who is the communist.

The pastor has been forced to move his family to an undisclosed location for their safety, according to his organization, but he “is not yielding to these acts of terrorism that are attacks on every pastor of every church in this country.”

In a statement, China Aid Association said protesters gathered Sept. 26 outside of Fu’s house while he was out of town and his wife and children were home.

Since then, the number of protestors and the calls for violence have increased. On Oct. 5, it escalated when a bus with more than 50 protesters showed up outside Fu’s home.

A local news station, NewsWest 9, reported the scene of busloads of protesters lining the street outside Fu’s home was “almost stranger than fiction.”

NewsWest 9 said it spoke to a few of the protesters, who say they are from the United States but won’t identify themselves or what state they are from. One protester told the station his name was Texas Cowboy.

Midland Mayor Patrick Payton and police said the protesters are being paid to travel to Midland and protest outside of Fu’s home.

One neighbor said they are getting paid $500 a day but the station could not confirm the information.

Midland’s mayor, area pastors and Fu’s neighbors deny he’s a spy and believe he has become a target because he has been outspoken against communist China.

Jenny Cudd, who has worked with Fu, told NewsWest9 she believes the Chinese Communist Party is trying to discredit Fi.

“It is an organized effort, we literally saw them coming off buses yesterday and they were handed a sign, flag or a Bible,” Cudd said. “I don’t know about you, but I don’t trust anyone who was bussed in to protest something.”

She said Fu has spoken out against communist China “for decades and decades and helped persecuted Christians in China, trying to get them out.”

ChinaAid plans to hold a rally Thursday at noon at the Midland County Horshoe Arena in Midland.

“Communism has reared its evil head in the U.S.A. in 2020 in a more direct way than since the peak of the Cold War years and fall of the U.S.S.R.,” ChinaAid says.

The organization sees it as a “direct attempt to silence pastors, churches and the work of the Gospel both here and in China.”

The U.S. Pastor Council is joining other ministries and leaders in calling on pastors from “every color, every corner” of the U.S. to support Fu and the other persecuted pastors.

“I pray God uses this threat to expose the Chinese communists’ agenda to destroy Christianity,” said Fu. “Americans in general and Christians specifically need to know what is really happening in China and now even here in the USA. Please pray for me and my family.”

Fu took part in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and became an underground house church pastor. He fled China with his wife in 1996 due to religious persecution by the Chinese Communist Party.

Biblical Archaeology From the Holy Land Revealed: ‘You’re Almost Touching…History’

Published

on

An Israeli entrepreneur on a mission to highlight biblical artifacts has brought his “treasures from the Holy Land” to America.

Oded Golan’s “Discovering the World of Jesus: Ancient Treasures From the Holy Land” experience opened Dec. 3 at Atlanta’s Pullman Yards, with hundreds of ancient artifacts surrounding the New Testament on display.

“We are bringing [a] once-in-a-lifetime experience to people to look at items that they will probably not have other opportunities to see,” Golan recently told CBN News. “The 350 items that are presented here, most of them are from the time of Christ. They were all found in the Holy Land in Israel, and they are telling the stories that are mentioned in the New Testament, but in first hand.”

He added, “You’re almost touching the history.”

Golan said some of the items are related to Jesus’ family or people living during his lifetime. These elements allow people to explore life during biblical times, seeing the behaviors and practices that unfolded during the New Testament era.

Already, audiences are loving the experience, Golan said, noting that giving a lens into the past illuminates knowledge and understanding.

“It doesn’t change faith, it doesn’t change belief, but it changed, somehow, how do you feel and how do you see the stories that are mentioned in the Bible — in the New Testament,” he said.

Golan’s story is a fascinating one, as he started collecting antiquities when he was just a child.

What started as a passion project grew into something much more — a collection he calls the “biggest and largest … in the world of biblical archaeology items.”

“When I was young, even, you know, until the age of 16, 17, I had in mind that I should be an archaeologist one day,” he said. “But … in life it was changed … but I kept archaeology as a hobby.”

And that hobby grew as he traveled all over the Holy Land and collected artifacts — relics he brings to audiences in “Discovering the World of Jesus: Ancient Treasures From the Holy Land.”

“In this exhibition, we present only items that came from a very short period of time,” Golan said. “We are talking about the early first century AD, the time of Jesus. A few items are from the 3rd, 4th, 5th century because this was the time when the first churches emerged — the cradle of Christianity.”

He believes audiences will be captivated regardless of their age or religious beliefs.

“It doesn’t matter what age you are, and what [religion] you are, and how strong [a] believer you are,” Golan said. “It’s fantastic.”

The entrepreneur also made international headlines in 2012 when he was on trial after being accused by the Israel Antiquities Authority of forging an inscription on the James ossuary, a stone relic believed to hold the bones of Jesus’ brother, James.

He was acquitted after a seven-year legal battle. The ossuary, which has been a source of contention, has an Aramaic line that reads, “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.” Proponents argue that the inscription pointed to evidence of Christ’s brother, James.

Ultimately, Golan was absolved of the most serious charges surrounding manufacturing elements of this inscription, among other serious charges. Some have since defended the authenticity of the artifact’s inscription, which would be the earliest reference to Jesus. Read more about the history of the matter.

Golan referred to this case while explaining he was in the “later stage” of his life – over the age of 50 — when he read the New Testament for the first time and started to understand it. Wanting to better comprehend the ossuary in his collection, he turned to the text for understanding.

Speaking about the James ossuary, he heralded the importance of the find, which is included in “Discovering the World of Jesus: Ancient Treasures From the Holy Land.” He’s hoping the collection inspires visitors to think more deeply about the past.

“You’re touching the history — almost physically,” Golan reiterated. “And that makes … a big difference compared to any other kind of exhibition. And, as I mentioned, it’s not only the artifact exhibition. It has much more than that.”

After the Atlanta run, Golan hopes to bring “Discovering the World of Jesus: Ancient Treasures From the Holy Land” to other cities across America.
