Zhang Yi-nan |
VOM sources have learned that, on the first day of his sentence (November 3) in Ping Ding Shan City Lao Dong Jiao Yang Suo, Zhang was badly beaten by other prisoners, at the urging of prison guards. According to an official at the prison camp, who spoke to VOM sources, guards considered this the first lesson in his "re-education." "Zhang Yi-nan is a strong man," said the official, "but he was terribly beaten. His hands were bleeding badly."
Pray for physical, emotional and spiritual strength for Zhang Yi-nan. Pray for healing and protection from further physical harm. Pray that his faith in Christ will be strengthened, even as the officials try to destroy it. Christians are also urged to write a letter of encouragement to Zhang. The address at the prison camp is:
Zhang Yi-nan
Ping Ding Shan City Lao Dong Jiao Yang Suo

Ping Ding Shan City, Henan Province, 467300
