THE HEAVENLY MAN
Fri June 1st 7.30pm,
Greenway Centre.
Come
and
hear
the
amazing story of Brother Yun, author of
the book “The Heavenly Man”. After
many years imprisoned for his faith,
Brother Yun escaped from Zhengzhou
Maximum Security prison from which
it is reported that nobody had
previously escaped. He described
how he heard the voice of the Holy
Spirit, telling him to simply walk out of
the heavily guarded prison gate
despite having had both his legs
broken. “If God can release me from
the solitary confinement of China’s
highest security prison,” he declares,
“then He can certainly release you
from whatever is holding you.”
