Proof The Bible Is True

“Please pray for these persecuted brethren. Reading stories like this makes one all the more appreciative of the freedom of worship we enjoy.”  Admin

My name is Hua Van Tuong. I am a gospel preacher, pastoring for Immanuel Church in Danang city, Vietnam.

I would like to present to you one issue as follows:

Our church with more than 41 members had gathered to worship the Lord at above address from 2009 to the present. And now, we also have service for the Deaf church with more than 40 members.

Pursuant to Directive Instruction #01 of the Vietnam Prime Minister dated 04/02/2005 and the Guidelines of the Central Board of Religious Affairs, our church has applied [multiple times] for registration in order to be recognized as a Christians meeting point. We have applied many times as follows:

VOM provided Pastor Tuong medical care after he was badly beaten in 2011.

The first time on June 9, 2010.

The second time on Feb. 15, 2012.

The third time on May 21, 2012.

Fourth on the Aug. 31, 2012.

Fifth on Nov. 13, 2014.

After five times of applying for our church to be recognized, the local Authorities rejected [our application] and have not licensed our church.

For many years, our church and my family have living in panic and fear of being beaten by local authorities. My house was demolished; dirty things such as dung and animal blood were thrown on our house. I myself was beaten, and some of the children of God also threatened mentally and physically. I have repeatedly sent petitions asking for help to all levels of governments from local to central but my applications are still unresolved and officials are silent.
