Hoa a native worker for many many years whos service was rejected by 2x2 leadership. At 73 he continues helping people on his own today.

This is the story of the famous 'secret' letter that Lyle meant to explain to Hoas friends that his (Hoas) service as a servant of God was no longer recognized as acceptable by 2x2 leadership.

To start with, this treatment of a very old man who had spent the most of his life in the work in his native country Vietnam, is contemptable and cruel. The 'takeover' of the work by foreign leadership figures  changed everything this man had lived and worked for in his service to God. To me there is also a significance in the campaign Lyle initiated to spread the decision he had made to the friends. An admonition to distance themselves from Hoa in this letter to be read to all the friends in all the fields --- (but no one was to have a copy of the letter themselves). Hoa was never given a chance to defend his reasoning why
he felt it impossible to work with the new self-appointed, imported '2x2 leadership'

2x2ism is famous for its 'stab in the back in the darkness' capacity. A capacity that is so clearly brought to light in this story.

The story of the 'secret' letter regarding Hoas rejection by Lyle Shultz

Sorry, I forgot my promise because many new news coming... :)
Yes, I would like to tell you how I obtained a copy of uncle Lyle's letter. Maybe for uncle Lyle and his staff know as well. But I want to share my thought first.
If we are sincere
in acting or talking, we are never afraid of hiding anything we do or afraid of being recorded our speaking.

About your asking…

The worker just read this letter only, not sending to anyone. Even many friends have asked to have a copy.

How we had it? The same as how we had uncle Fred letter to the overseer… 

God gave it to us :), because HE displeased with the spirit had written in that letter.

One friend borrowed the letter from a foreign sister at his field (she asked him not copy the letter). He was afraid that we didn’t know there is a letter writing about uncle Hoa. He brought it to my place for us to read. (We have this copy because we have a photocopy machine at home, immediately my husband copied the letter before reading :) Then the friend sent  back the letter the day after… Many friends still in their fellowship but disagree with the letter!.

So we had known the whole letter before hearing from the workers in our field.

That was the reason why my father too angry with uncle Lyle, while he visited with Cường at my parents's house.

One day Lyle S. came to my father’s house to read his letter. Two things that we did not agree with him in his letter were: To respect the Workers in the highest place. (It is our Lord’s place in our heart, not Workers). And Uncle Hoa doesn’t have any part in the work of God in VN anymore. My father said to Lyle, “That’s what YOU say; God never says like that.” Seeing my father disagreed with his letter, Lyle said: “I can’t take care of you any more.” My father replied, “God will take care of us.” 

A few days later Collin and uncle Lyle came to my house… in order to talk with us, but I refuse to hear. I said “I had known the letter, no need to read”.
