On June 1, Radio Free Asia interviewed Doctor Hoang Trong Tam who has been treating lay pastor Than Van Truong. Brother Truong has spent the last eight months in Dong Nai Mental Hospital reportedly because of his strong dedication to Christ. According to Doctor Tam, Truong is "fanatical" with "an extreme belief in God" which authorities believe warrants treatment. Click here for an English translation of the interview.
The Voice of the Martyrs is launching a postcard campaign on behalf of Brother Troung. While supplies last, you can receive up to five postcards for free. Each postcard is preprinted with an encouraging message for Brother Troung. All you need to do is place the appropriate postage on the card, sign it with your first name and drop it in the mail as soon as possible. You can invite your friends to use the other cards.
The greeting on the card reads: "Dear Br. Truong, Warmest greetings in Christ from your friends around the world. Your Christian testimony has inspired us and we pray that you will be released from this unjust treatment and returned to your family. We pray that the Bible verse will be a comfort and a strength for you. May God bless you richly."
To request up to five postcards, please visit our website (no longer available). Sorry, the offer is only available to residents of Canada.
