Stanley Jones

Does anyone have definitive info on Stanley Jones, our dear brother imprisoned in China?  I believe he died in the late 1980’s but don’t know for sure.

I met and had dinner with a student of his back in the eighties. She was mentioned in the watchtower a couple weeks ago.  Nancy Yuen......she was imprisoned in a hard labor camp for 20 years. When I met her she was about 70 years old and living with her daughter in San Francisco.... still very zealous and faithful.

Sounds like Job's life. She lost her freedom for 20 years and was not able to raise her children by then. 

She was reunited to her children when they're adult. 

 

Her story reminds me that Jehovah is alive and will bless his faithful ones.   We need ENDurance.
