China Aid Association
China Aid Association, Inc. (CAA) "was established in Pennsylvania in 2002 as a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. Its mission is to tell the truth concerning issues of religious freedom in China, particularly focusing on the fate of believers who belong to banned or “underground” churches.
"In addition to collecting documents and materials related to Chinese law and government policy toward religion in China, CAA issues press releases on cases of religious persecution in China and carries out other advocacy on behalf of persecuted religious believers in China. It also provides humanitarian relief to persecuted members of underground Protestant churches in China...

Between 2003 and 2007, he was a visiting professor at Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
