This is the translation of my letter to reply uncle Châu' heart letter
confirming that the two by two way is the true way of God.
Dear brother Châu,
I have seldom written letter to you. After I read your heart letter, I also want
to send you my heart letter.
Since I knew this way, I have completely believed that this is the true way. But
when troubles happened, I discovered many things opposite so I have to pause to
fathom, look up the Bible to know more surely the will of God.
• The first thing, workers explained to me that this way doesn’t have an
organisation, workers are sent out by faith. But through what happened to you, I
see that this way has a very tight organisation. The position of overseer has a
lot of power which I haven’t known before (perhaps it was concealed). This
position is able to allow one person to be a worker and to kick a worker out of
his place (I see clearly through Overseer Dale Schultz and your case)
Thịnh(a sister worker’s brother) confided to me that every time mentioning
Darrel with Cường and Hải, they appeared to be very dreadful.(Cường and Hải are
workers of Darrel’s staff)
International overseer-->regional overseer-->national overseer. Overseer divides
a nation into fields. Every two workers in charge a field. A worker of this
field mustn’t touch the field of other worker. Below workers are elders. Elders
must keep track every member of their own church and report to their workers.
• Secondly, the workers explained to me that this way originates from the first
century, from Jesus’ time. But in fact it isn’t true. This way was founded by a
scottish man namely William Irvine. At first he was a preacher of FAITH MISSION
Society. He was sent out to North Irland to preach and where he founded the way
of two by two in 1897. Thus, the concept of going two by two, the words such as
WORKER,FRIEND, FIELD, CONVENTION... and many other words are borrowed from FAITH
MISSION Society.
In the beginning I sang the hymns, I thought these hymns only belonged to the
Way of God, and some songs were from the first century or from century of
11,12...But in fact Hymns Old and New was first time printed in 1914.
Previously, they used GO PREACHER’S HYMN BOOK which many songs belonged to Faith
Mission Society or Protestant.
(the letter rather long, I will translate gradually)

(continue the translation my letter)
Mathew10:6- Go
rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The
kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those
who have leprosy, drive
out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. “Do not get any gold or
silver or copper to take with you in your belts
Mark 6:7-10 Calling
the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority
over impure spirits. These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey
except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. Wear sandals but not an
extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that
town.”
These passages which William Irvine quoted to support for the theology going two
by two are reluctant.
1-Here, Jesus sent the disciples two by two. He didn’t allow them to go to the
gentiles but to the lost sheep of Israel.
2-He sent them out with instructions take nothing for the journey. In fact
Morris moved the house from this place to another, he used two mini-truckload of
possessions. Not only Morris, the other workers are the same.
3-The message they proclaimed “the Kingdom of Heaven has come near”
4-When the
disciples returned, they boasted that they could drive out the demons. Do any
workers drive out the demons?
So they used these passages to make foundation for going two by two, is it true?
In Act there is someone going alone, others going 3,going 4... if I have time I
will do statistic for you.
• You have raised the matter of global fellowship. I don’t understand if this
matter relates to our salvation. If mentioning the global fellowship, I think
Catholics has the global fellowship ten thousand times more than two by two. The
important thing our Lord taught “you should love each other, by this sign people
will know you are my disciples.” I never read “if you have global fellowship,
you will be my disciples”. And I saw in this way they treat you very badly,
although this land you and brother Hoa dropped sweat, dropped tears to build up,
then the strange Canadians took name “workers”, “overseer” came here scrambling
for the sheep and expelled you. I want to ask you where is the love, where is
the honesty.
• When talking about the flock, we must talk about the shepherd. John
10:11-12” I
am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The
hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the
wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the
flock and scatters it.”
Whoever let our Lord lead their life is in the flock of God. If the Bhuddists or
the Muslims...return to God, let God lead their life, they are in the flock of
God.
•
We cannot mention the way of God is a system or a group of people. John
14:6 “
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.”
This passage let me see clearly the life of Jesus is the way. This is the thing
that confuses many people and sometimes they deliberately confuse people when
mentioning the true way to the two by two way, a human organisation.
•
Ephesian 4:4 “There
is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were
called;”
You quoted thi passage in your letter. There is one body. Can we say the two by
two is the body of Christ? I didn’t see any image of Christ at these overseers,
how can I call this organisation the Body of Christ.I must see the figure of God
in it first.

(translation of the second
heart letter I sent to uncle
Châu)
Dear brother Châu
Here are two things that you
wrote to me. I know your
heart and thank you for
that.
1. I (brother Châu) only
hope Hoŕn not to read the
stuff on Internet because
they are not all true…
2. As I said: this way is
the Kingdom of God, His
House…we have to preserve.
I was misguided once from
Catholics to two by two way.
It could be a bad thing, but
it could be a good thing for
me. Because I will be more
cautious after having got
through this experience.
Now I should examine
everything I hear. I can
not accept everything I hear
without scrutinizing it for
it may be false!! . It was
Paul who encouraged and
praised the saints at Berea. Acts
17:11 “Now
the Berean Jews were of more
noble character than those
in Thessalonica, for they
received the message with
great eagerness and examined
the Scriptures every day to
see if what Paul said was
true.”
So I want to talk with you
these two above matters:
Internet and Kingdom of God.
1. I have considered
Internet as a very huge
library, in which the amount
of books and magazines
surpasses any other
libraries in the world. The
students at present time,
for whom it is very
convenient because the
materials for reference are
very abundant. Internet
doesn’t have any guilt. Good
or bad depends on the
purpose of the user. For
example, someone surfs
internet for pornography
videos. Now because of this,
we condemn Internet. The
same as, someone enters a
library to borrow
pornography magazines and we
persuade others not to enter
that library to read.
Now, I need to carefully
examine the way that I have
followed. I need many
materials to look up. Only
Internet provides me these
materials.
Formerly, in order to learn
about the religions, you had
to enter the library to find
in Encyclopedia. Regretably
at that time we didn’t have
Internet. Information was
very limited so you believed
that two by two was founded
by Jesus according to the
explanation of auntie
Bonnie.
2. Now I want to talk about
the Kingdom of God or the
Church of God
(Continued)

23rd August 2013 (continued
the heart letter sent to uncle Châu)
When the church is
established as Jesus' word, there will be a
promise associated "the
gates of Hades will not overcome it". That
means the church will overcome the gates of
Hades, will receive the salvation of God.
To sum up, the church of God
compose of stones (group of people believing
that Jesus is the Son of living God) which
are built on the rock( Jesus's life).
Luke 18:8 "when
the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on
the earth?" When
Jesus returns, He doesn't know in advance if
there are any stones (faith or the church)
on this earth or not.
But He has the promise that
the group of saints will surely receive the
salvation ( overcome the Hades) if their
life is built on the life of Jesus.
+Catholics is false because
the church is built on the lives of Popes.
Many Catholic believers have deep faith in
Jesus but built on false foundation.
+Two by two is also false
because the church is built on overseers and
workers. Overseers said: "you are allowed to
eat blood, and you can eat it without guilt"
or command of overseers about
"Divorce&Remarriage"
I was reminded that the
foundation of the church is unchangeable.
Jesus yesterday, today, tomorrow never
changes.
