Bob Fu: God's Double Agent

Recently Christianity Today did a highlight piece on Bob Fu from China Aid.  Bob has served the persecuted church for many years and has recently received more notariety for his work with the persecuted church in China.

Here’s a snip for you:

Activist-pastor Bob Fu once called himself “God’s double agent”
because he taught English during the day at a Chinese communist school
and conducted home Bible studies at night.

But now Fu is
based in Midland, Texas, where he heads ChinaAid, which provides legal
assistance and support to pastors, political dissidents, and couples
resisting China’s one-child policy. This new focus brings Chinese and
American Christians closer together in common cause. His advocacy
against China’s brutal one-child policy is proving to be highly
effective in drawing believers from both nations into the fight for the
unborn as well as for greater religious freedom.

In
May and early June, Fu played an influential role in three events that
drew global attention to the one-child policy and forced abortion:

•
Dissident blind lawyer Chen Guangcheng, whose 2005 research uncovered
130,000 forced abortions in one province in China, fled house arrest in a
dramatic nighttime escape to the American Embassy in Beijing. With
assistance from Fu and many others, Chen traveled to New York on a
student visa.

• Feng Jianmei, a woman from Shaanxi
Province, was pregnant without official permission. Authorities arrested
her and forced her to undergo a late-term abortion. A photo of her and
her dead baby went viral on the Internet. Many pro-life websites,
including All Girls Allowed and ChinaAid, drew global attention to the
illegal practice of forced late-term abortion.

• Cao Ruyi
and her husband Li Fu were expecting a child without official
permission. Officials arrested Cao and threatened abortion. The couple
contacted ChinaAid, which drew global attention to the couple’s plight.
This, in part, motivated family-planning officials to back down.
