Your Help is Needed!

Thanks!
For the past several months, I have been following a website via update emails. This website, hosted by China Aid and Voice of the Martyrs, is doing everthing they can to help free a human rights lawyer in China. Gao Zhisheng was kidnapped by Chinese police and is being held and tourtured somewhere in China.
Gao is a Christian and has undergone several kidnappings before. He has been missing for 148 days.
A petition has been written and over 105,124 signatures have been collected, asking that the Chinese government disclose Gao's location and release him. Recently the petition was delivered after 100,000 names had been signed. The Chinese government refused it, but the man delivering it left it at the door anyway. In China, leaving it there signified that it had been legally served to the government.
How you can help:
If you are interested in helping this persecuted brother in Christ, go here. You can sign the petition (I have signed it three times!), get names and numbers to call/email members of the Chinese government, read the complete story, or make a donation to help China Aid and VOM do their best to free him.
You can also get names/numbers to call/email our own Congressmen, several of whom are taking a stand against what is happening to Gao.
Please help!! If the Church doesn't stand up to help, who will?

Dear Hannah,
Thank you so much for making people aware of this horrible situation. I read about Gao's story in the last issue of VOM and it was really touching. Thanks for giving me some ideas about how I can help out. Keep up the good work sister!
