Speakers include:
· Bob Fu, founder of China Aid Association (CAA), was raised in mainland China. He was a leader in the student democracy movement and God used its failure to bring Bob to Himself. In 1992 Bob became the pastor of a house church. Four years later he and his wife were imprisoned. After fleeing to the United States, Bob Fu began CAA to draw international attention to the persecuted church in China.

Kidnapped in 1983 by Marxist rebels and held hostage for five months, his book, “Rescue the Captors” relates his experience.
