Please Write to Shuang Shuying

"I was in prison, and you visited me...."

The Voice of the Martyrs is asking that Christians from around the world pray and write to Christian prisoner, Shuang Shuying, a 77-year-old woman who was sentenced to two years imprisonment by the Beijing Chongwen District People's Court on February 26, 2007. She was sentenced on charges of "willfully damaging private property." She and her son, Hua Huiqi, were attacked by police and arrested on January 24, 2007. Hua was released on July 26. Shuang suffers from a heart problem and diabetes.

Please write a letter or card of encouragement to this dear sister. An attractive Christian greeting cards would probably be especially cherished. Express your Christian love and mention you are praying for her (then do!). If you want to make your letter even more personal and special, you may want to include a snapshot of yourself, your family or your prayer group.

Please do not send the letters to The Voice of the Martyrs Canada for mailing. The letters are more effective when the officials see persons have sent them from many different parts of our nation. Do not criticize the Chinese government or discuss politics and do not include your mailing address (you may state your name and country). Please do not mention The Voice of the Martyrs or any other source of information.

You may write Shuang Shuying at:

Shuang Shuying
No. 3 Run He Xiang, Huifeng Street, Tiantang He Qing Feng Road,
Daxing District,
Beijing
People's Republic of China

If you can write in Chinese, you may write to:

北京市大兴区天堂河庆丰路汇丰街润荷巷3号

Thank you for ministering to Sister Shuang Shuying In this vital way.
