Write a letter

I wanted to encourage anyone who sees this blog to check out a new website I found: www.prisoneralert.com. This site is run by Voice of the Martyrs and focuses on believers who are imprisoned around the world. They have a tool that allows you to write a letter in the language of an imprisoned pastor or lay leader. I am certain that officials take note of those prisoners in China, North Vietnam, etc., who receive mail from the United States. It takes very little time, and will cost you about $1 to mail the letter.

The following describes the "crimes" of a man arrested over a year ago in Vietnam:

Location: Vietnam
Arrested: March 2007

In May 2008, Nguyen Van Dai, a Vietnamese Protestant church leader and lawyer, was sentenced to five years in prison and followed by four years of house arrest. Nguyen was accused of a wide range of crimes, including “conspiring with terrorists, in their efforts to promote human rights efforts, including religious rights and democracy.” He was also accused of compiling “evidence of Vietnam’s suppression of the Protestant religion and providing it to the U.S.-based Committee for Religious Freedom in Vietnam and the U.S. embassy.”
