'We want you to have the same freedoms that we have': US pastor's message to demolished church

"We, as Christians in the United States, want our brothers and sisters in China to know, we know what's going onâ€"we're hearing these stories, and we're horrified by them, and we want you to have the same freedoms that we have," said Midland's First Baptist Church pastor Dr. Randel Everett in a statement about the Zhejiang demolitions.

Everett recorded a video statement, below, with China Aid to express his disbelief and disappointment over the demolition of Sanjiang Church in coastal Wenzhou, Zhejiang (also see www.chinaaid.org/2014/04/the-telegraph-china-accused-of-anti.html, www.chinaaid.org/2014/04/zhejiang-christians-fear-sanjiang.html and www.chinaaid.org/2014/05/video-fu-discusses-zhejiang-demolition.html).
