Persecuted Christian Allen Yuan Receives Eternal Life
Last week I told you about the Voice of the Martyrs Canada website and as I was doing my research on the site I saw video of this precious saint - Allen Yuan. I almost highlighted it for you, but I decided not to. Now I wish I had because he went home to be with the Lord yesterday, August 16th.
The following is from the VOM Prayer Alerts you can sign up for and receive weekly.
Allen Yuan Passes Away
Allen Yuan (Yuan, Xiang Chen), well known and well loved house church pastor in Beijing, who endured more than 20 years of suffering in China's prisons and labour camps, has gone to be with his Lord. He died in hospital in Beijing at 4 p.m. on Tuesday August 16, 2005. Brother Yuan was 91 years old. He had been in hospital since August 4 because of pneumonia. His funeral will be held on Friday. You can read a more complete obituary of Pastor Yuan at http://www.persecution.net/news/china84a.html .
Praise the Lord for Brother Yuan's testimony of faithfulness. Pray for his widow and children as they mourn his passing. Two short video clips featuring Pastor Yuan can be viewed in the Video section of VOMC's multimedia website, www.persecution.tv.
