Midland, Texas (CAA)-Nov. 1, 2006
Church building demolished forcefully in Jilin, furniture inside destroyed
CAA learns that October 26, 2006 a house church building in the campus of “Changchun Agricultural University” in the suburb of Changchun city, Jilin province was demolished forcibly by the local government.
It is known that the building served as the gathering place for Nongda house church when religious activities were held there. The place was also used as the “Morning Star Supermarket” in other times.
According to the witnesses, the government sent 500 policemen and several hundred peasant workers to the site at 4 o’clock in the morning. They drove the people out of the building while they were sleeping. Within an hour, the main part of the building as well as the furniture in it became piles of debris. In the entire process, no explanation was given on the issues.
Nongda house church, which has a history of more than 10 years, serves mainly the brothers and sisters in the nearby countryside. It not only gained reputation in the surrounding areas, its influence reached as far as Heilongjiang and Inmongolia.
Though being threatened, attacked, and harassed frequently, the church has always stuck by the principle of not being affiliated with 3-Self church, or registering to the government. They hold the orthodoxy Christian belief, and cherish the biblical truth.
Who can imagine that within an hour’s time, the main part of their church building was bulldozed under the pretext of “urban appearance rearrangement.” Only a two-story building was left.
Brothers and sisters of Nongda house church ask earnestly that the Lord’s body pray for their church in tribulation.
CAA appeals that the Changchun government give an account to Nongda house church concerning the event as soon as possible, and arrange a place for the new building, in order not to bring shame on the ancient city of Changchun.

德州美德兰（对华援助协会2006年11月1日）
吉林长春教堂被强行拆除，室内物品未及搬出一并被毁
对华援助协会获知，10月26日凌晨4时左右，吉林省长春市出动500多名警察及数百民工，将位于长春市郊农业大学区内的一座用于家庭教肝聚会用的建筑强行拆毁。
据悉，这座建筑平时是一家营业的超市,名叫“晨星超市”，长春市“农大家庭教会”也用该建筑举行各种宗教聚会活动。
根据目击者的描述，政府出动500多名警察，几百名民工，首先将睡梦中的守夜人员赶出建筑，然后铲土车和大型车辆一哄而上，不到一个小时，将教会的平房部分及里面的所有物资铲成一堆堆瓦砾和垃圾。
这次夜间突袭，显然是有备而来。不仅车辆齐全（包括铲车、警车、消防车、新闻采访车等），而且人多势众，警察身穿警服，民工戴有头盔，不容分说，铲车轰鸣，野蛮强拆，引来众人围观，议论纷纷。却没有说明迁往何处，如何安置，怎样补偿等等。
长春市“农大家庭教会”已有十多年的历史，主要服事附近农村的弟兄姐妹。不仅在当地很有影响力，受到各教会的尊重，而且影响范围远至黑龙江，内蒙等地。他们长期以来坚持不参与三自、不登记的方针，多次受到威胁、冲击、骚扰，但从不妥协。教会弟兄姐妹的信仰纯正，持守圣经. 但是，这样的一个教会，其聚会建筑却在一夜之间，被政府有关部门借“拆迁”之名，夷为平地。
目前教堂周围平房部分已被拆毁，仅剩一座二层小楼。
“农大家庭教会”的弟兄姐妹，向众教会发出恳求，恳请大家为苦难中的小小炕头教会迫切代祷。
对华援助协会呼吁长春市拆迁委员会，尽快对此事件给“农大家庭教会”一个交待，并为农大教会妥善安排新址，以免使这座东北文化重镇蒙羞。
