The sudden release of Ezra Jin Mingri, the founding pastor of Zion Church of China, reads like something out of the dramatic sixteenth chapter of Acts. You’re familiar with the passage: an earthquake at midnight suddenly throws open the prison doors and unleashes the shackles of the detained, including the Apostle Paul and his companion, Silas. The jailer is converted and the Roman magistrates come and escort the two men out of the city and to freedom (Acts 16:25-39).
