Proof The Bible Is True

The wife of a man in prison for his work at a Christian bookstore told VOM partners that although she and her children miss their husband and father, she and her family haven’t needed anything except prayer. Cai Hong Li, wife of Christian prisoner Wenxi Li, recently spoke with workers from Release International, The Voice of the Martyrs’ sister organization in the United Kingdom.

Wenxi was sentenced to two years in prison in December 2012 for his involvement with a Christian book store. Wenxi, who is from Beijing, was helping set up a Christian bookstore in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi province, when he was arrested. Police raided the shop, and according to the South China Morning Post, one of the officials shouted at the bookstore employees, “Don’t you dare bring Christian culture here. This is our turf.”

Since her husband’s arrest, Cai Hong’s only visit with her husband occurred in January 2014. She said, “He is doing well and is able to read the Bible in jail, which is amazing.”

Although he is in prison, Wenxi is still able to do the very thing authorities tried to prevent him from doing — share the Gospel. While awaiting trial, he led three prisoners to Christ. When Cai Hong visited in January, he excitedly told the family that several more prisoners had committed their lives to the Lord as a result of his prison evangelism.
