A pastor from a prominent underground church in China has been released from prison. The pastor, Ezra Jin Mingri, was detained in October along with 17 other church leaders. His release comes after US President Donald Trump discussed his case with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing.

The pastor has been reunited with his family in Los Angeles. A family statement expressed gratitude to Trump for his involvement, noting that the release would not have been possible without Xi's direct intervention.

Further details about the pastor's release and the circumstances surrounding his detention are available from the source. The case has raised concerns about religious freedom in China, but for now, the pastor is safe and reunited with his loved ones.
