Chinese authorities detained leaders and members of the Early Rain Covenant Church in China on Jan. 6 amid the nation’s continued persecution of Christians. Among those detained, the whereabouts of some individuals remain unclear. As of Jan. 12, ChinaAid reported that six Christians from the church were either detained or placed under house arrest, and the detention location of only two of the believers was known. A pastor of the church, Dai Zhichao, is being detained at the Deyang City Detention Center, and a church member, only known as “Lin,” is being held at the Zhongjiang Detention Center.
