（德州米德兰市-2020年10月7日）对华援助协会就近期傅希秋牧师收到的不断升级的死亡威胁发布正式声明。
正式声明全文如下。
对华援助协会已得知并且强烈谴责近期对本协会创始人，主席傅希秋牧师发出的不实指责以及暴力威胁。
2020年9月26日，一批抗议者出现在傅希秋牧师家门外。当时傅牧师正因事工在外出差，但是他的妻子和孩子都在家里。从那以后，抗议者的数量和暴力威胁程度不断地增长。10月5日周一那天，抗议的规模再次升级。一辆巴士载着50多名抗议者出现在他家门外。
本稿发布之时抗议者的身份和来源还无法得知，但是我们已经明确知道是一名幕后主使通过社交媒体和互联网，用金钱奖励的方式远程指使这些抗议者用暴力对付傅希秋牧师。
米德兰市执法部门和联邦调查局已经全面行动，保护傅希秋牧师一家，以及对华援助协会的员工。而且各机构也正在全力调查这位赏金指使抗议者施暴的幕后主使。
对于这一系列的严重威胁，傅希秋牧师说，“我祷告上帝使用这些威胁来帮助我们曝光中共试图摧毁基督教的野心。美国人民，尤其是基督徒，需要知道现在正发生在中国的这一切，甚至发生在美国的这一切。请为我和我的家人祷告“
1989年，傅希秋牧师参与天安门学生运动，之后他成为一名地下家庭教会牧师。由于中共的宗教迫害，1996年他和夫人逃离中国。从此他成为国际上为中国民主和宗教自由发声的主要呼吁者。那些抗议者所说的”假牧师“，中共成员，收受中共金钱等等完全都是对他的严重错误诽谤。
对华援助协会的合作机构们，包括兰托斯基金会, 家庭研究理事会,米德兰市政府也都证明了傅希秋牧师本人，以及他所作事工的正直和价值。
尽管我们收到了这些恶劣的违法的死亡威胁，也无法阻挡或影响对华援助协会继续为推动中国的宗教自由和法治所做的事工。如果您愿意支持、参与我们的事工，请访问对华援助协会的网站。

(Midland, TX) China Aid Association acknowledges and denounces the accusations and calls for violence against President and Founder, Pastor Bob Fu.
On September 26, 2020, protesters arrived outside of Fu’s house. He was out of town, but his wife and children were home. Since then, the number of protestors has continued to increase as well as the calls for violence. On Monday, October 5, it escalated when a bus of over 50 protesters showed up outside his home.
While the identity and origins of the protestors are unknown at this time, they are listening to the instructions of one particular bad actor who is utilizing social media and the internet to place monetary rewards for violence against Pastor Fu.
Local law enforcement and federal agencies have responded and are protecting the Fu family and ChinaAid staff. The investigation into the bounty and the man calling for it are ongoing.
In response to the serious threats, Pastor Fu said, “I pray God uses this threat to expose the Chinese Communist’s agenda to destroy Christianity. Americans in general and Christians specifically need to know what is really happening in China and now even here in the USA. Please pray for me and my family.”
After participating in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and becoming an underground house church pastor, Fu fled China with his wife in 1996 due to religious persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Since then, he has become a leading dissident voice for democracy and religious freedom in China. The accusations of being a “fake pastor” or member of the CCP and taking money from the Chinese government are blatantly false and slanderous.
The support from partner organizations like the Lantos Foundation, Family Research Council, and the City of Midland further show proof of the character and integrity of Pastor Fu and his work.
As egregious and illegal as these death threats are, this will not stop nor will it distract from the work of ChinaAid as an international non-profit Christian human rights organization committed to promoting religious freedom and rule of law for all in China.
