(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners were asked by University Christian Church of San Diego to present information about the crimes of torture and organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in China to their Church Vision Team for the purpose of spreading the information to their regional and national affiliated member churches and eventually taking it to the World Council of Churches in order to help put an end to these crimes.

Jack Johnston, a member of the board of San Diego's University Christian Church, met and spoke with Falun Dafa practitioners at an anti-torture exhibit in Balboa Park, where practitioners were exposing the persecution and the mass organ harvesting from living Falun Dafa practitioners by the Chinese communist regime.

Mr. Johnston was very shocked. He immediately signed the petition to President Bush and the U.S. Congress calling for a congressional hearing and investigation into the charges of organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in China. Mr. Johnston also took several brochures and said he would bring the issue up with the board members of his church. He said that this are a church committed to speaking out about social injustice and crimes against humanity.

Subsequently, two practitioners were asked to give a presentation to the Church Vision Team on May 16. The team wanted to know more about Falun Dafa, its founder, Master Li, and the reason for the persecution. They also asked about materials, articles and web site links, they could use to inform themselves and pass on to other church groups.

Falun Dafa practitioner explains to the Vision Team members of San Diego's University Christian Church about the organ harvesting crime from innocent, living Falun Gong practitioners in China.

She said that she has been a Falun Dafa practitioner for only two years, but her health improved tremendously after practicing the exercises for only a few months. She said this is a very good practice that benefits body and mind. She said she grew up in Germany right after World War II and because of the Nazi atrocities in her birth country, she feels a deep sense of responsibility to speak out against the terrible crimes committed against Falun Gong.

The church's Vision Team members listened attentively to the presentation.

They were deeply troubled by the cruel and atrocious acts of persecution perpetrated upon Falun Gong practitioners in China. They had asked practitioners to give a 10-minute presentation, but kept listening and asking questions for over 30 minutes.

Mr. Jack Johnston introduced the two Falun Dafa practitioners to the Vision Team and shared with everyone about his own background as a martial arts student and his understanding of the benefits of Qi-gong.

After the presentation the Church Vision Team members were visibly shaken by what they had learned from the two practitioners. They warmly thanked the practitioners and said they would do what they could to help stop these atrocities. Mr. Johnston accompanied the practitioners to their cars and said, "My hope is that this eventually gets to the World Council of Churches, introduced from our national office."
