Dear Dave,
In
July 2012, a group of local thugs abducted, threatened, and beat Vinh,
who started a church in an undisclosed village in Central Vietnam. Using
a lead pipe, the leader of the gang struck Vinh several times on his
knees and twice on his jaw. The pastor was hospitalized for several
weeks.
The
incident took place two days after pastor Vinh attended an Open Doors
pastoral training program in Ho Chi Minh City. "He was one of the most
promising students in the class," explained by Vinh's spiritual mentor.
"He was very passionate to share God's word and had a deep love for
Jesus."
Pastor
Vinh is only 24 years old and in great need of encouragement. Today,
you can actually write him a letter of encouragement.
Ready for this week's challenge?
