Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri, 56, reunited with his family on July 3 after spending 266 days in a Chinese prison. In an op-ed published by the Wall Street Journal on July 8, Jin detailed his experience behind bars, which he endured alongside 28 other leaders of the underground Zion Church. He described his reclamation to freedom as “disorienting,” going from a cramped cell to celebrating the 250th anniversary of America’s freedom.
