Story number 2 for 26 Jun 2002

(Vietnam)–Elsewhere, Voice of the Martyrs in the United Kingdom says 14 Vietnamese pastors have been arrested in the Central Highlands in the last two weeks. The exact location of these pastors is not certain, raising some concern for their safety. This brings to 26 the known number of Christian pastors laboring in Vietnam’s rural prison system, including 12 who remain in the notorious brick kilns in the North. Pray for those who are imprisoned, that they would be comforted in their isolation and will be sustained by their faith in Christ.
