A Uyghur Christian pastor in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is facing the possible closure of his church and the persecution of his family after authorities imposed burdensome compliance requirements and intensified surveillance of church leaders and members, according to information provided to International Christian Concern (ICC) by an established Christian ministry serving East Asia. For security reasons, ICC is identifying the pastor only as “Pastor A.” Pastor A leads a small house church composed primarily of Uyghur Christians in southern Xinjiang.
