Than Van Truong: Jail Did Not Silence Him

Location: Vietnam
Arrested: June 2004
Days Imprisoned: 321

Vietnamese evangelist Than Van Truong’s voice cannot be silenced. As a result of his outspoken witness for Christ, Truong was arrested and jailed in May of 2003. Than Van Truong continued his mission work in prison and brought many to Christ. During his jail term 17 converts accepted Christ and he was able to teach them some basic gospel doctrine. After 239 days in jail he was released January 20, 1994 in poor health. He was under house arrest and had to report to the Dong Nai provincial police office every two weeks. Still he did not take a rest and continued his ministry visiting from family to family, sharing the gospel and preaching in local house churches.

Because his evangelistic zeal could not be quenched, Truong was arrested on June 3, 2004 as he was on his way to share the gospel.
