Y Wo Nie

Update January 12, 2012

VOM contacts in Vietnam report that Y Wo Nie was released in December. He has been spending time with his family and will soon have a medical check up to assess his health after more than seven years in prison. Praise the Lord!

Update June 3, 2011

We received a letter from Y Wo Nie's wife recently. She wrote, "Our family situation is very difficult. I don't have a job; some days I work as a day laborer and some days I'm unemployed. My youngest son is sickly."

She recently visited her husband in prison, thanks to VOM donors. Her husband is ill. She said, "I’m worried for my husband but God gives me His comfort that He is always with us though we have to face sickness or hard situations; He will help me to overcome my hard times."

Please pray for their family.
