Praise God Persecuted Prisoner Released from Labor Camp

The prayers of the faithful availeth much.  Today I am extremely excited and happy to announce that one of the persecuted prisoners we have been praying for and writing letters on his behalf through VOM's Prisoner Alert, has been released after spending two years in a labor camp.

Todd Nettleton, Director of News Services for VOM said, "We praise God for sustaining this faithful servant during two years of difficult labor, and we also thank all those who prayed for him and wrote letters on his behalf.”

Zhang was featured on the Web site www.prisoneralert.com , where more than 2,700 people composed and printed letters of encouragement to send to him in prison. Authorities told Zhang that he should have received a much longer sentence for his “crimes,” but because his case became known internationally he was given only two years in the labor camp.

This is just one example of why you need to write letters on behalf of the prisoners. This month VOM has highlighted the three Indonesian ladies who were sentenced to prison for teaching children the Bible.  Why not set aside some time today and click on over to Prisoner Alert and write a few letters on their behalf.  Please also pray for them too!
