My name is Vũ Trung Hiền, 66 years old, youngest brother
of Vũ Ngọc Châu, the servant of God in Vietnam who had
labored there during the past 47 years.
My parents named him Ngọc Châu, which means "pearl"
in English. A few years before she went to be with the
Lord, in 1992, my mother wrote to Brother Châu My
dear son, I have 10 children, and I have given you, my
precious pearl to God, as my tithe I have no regret in
offering you to him although sometimes, I can't help
wondering who will take care of you, especially when I
am half the globe away from you, and you are living
under difficult situation over there..
It is true that during the 80's, life in Vietnam was
quite harsh for Chau under the communist ruling .
It was understandable because the atheist communists
were always against Christianity and the believers.
But my brother Châu, in spite of lacking material
things, seemed to enjoy his service to God and His
people.
But recently, I learned that since the Canadian
overseers came to Vietnam, they acted like big boss, and
have made one mistake after another, causing the current
chaotic and divided situation over there.
The worst things that they did were to "fire"
brother Châu from his preaching, and sent him away from
Vietnam.
They also used lies and fabrication, trying to dishonor
him.
Due to his gentle nature, brother Châu has kept me and
his eight brothers and sisters from knowing what had
happened to him.
He suffered all this pain and injustice alone.
I believe that until the "leadership" of the
organization in America and Canada realize that they had
been wrong in treating brother Châu that way, and
apologize to him, as one of the first steps toward
reconciliation, the golden days of the sect (when Uncle
Fred Allen and Uncle Edwin were there, and until the
coming of the Canadians) will never return.
