Pastor Ezra Jin, a notable leader of an underground church in China, has been released and reunited with his family in the United States. This development follows diplomatic discussions between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

In a photo from 2015, Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri and his daughter, Grace Jin Drexel, are seen in Los Angeles. Grace Jin Drexel provided the image to capture a moment of familial happiness.

The involvement of the U.S. government, particularly President Trump, played a crucial role in negotiating Jin’s release. The president’s direct discussion with President Xi highlighted the importance the U.S. placed on Pastor Jin’s case.

Pastor Jin’s freedom marks a significant moment for human rights advocates and for his family, who have awaited his return eagerly.
