(Clearwisdom.net) Since I started practicing Falun Gong, I have often felt our great benevolent Master's protection. I cannot express enough of my gratitude toward Master.

I would like to share, based on my knowledge, the positive effect of the phone calls that overseas practitioners have made to clarify the truth since the persecution started in 1999.

Encouragement from Fellow Practitioners

Even though the evil launched the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, like many other fellow practitioners, I still continued to study the Fa and followed Master's requirements to validate the Fa. However, I often felt unhappy, depressed and wronged. I could not view problems from the Fa perspective and was not strict with myself.

One day in 2003, my phone rang at home. I picked it up. It was a truth clarification phone call from an overseas practitioner. I immediately said "thank you" and hung up (I did not want the fellow practitioner to spend more money on the phone call). I was very excited and was encouraged by this overseas practitioner's selfless effort. I made up my mind to be more diligent and do well from then on.

People Looking for Practitioners, Asking to Quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)

In 2006, many people in our area received phone calls from overseas practitioners, who clarified the facts and exhorted them to quit the CCP. They learned the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution. One person was looking for Dafa disciples all over the place, as he wanted to quit the CCP. Fellow practitioners were all very happy upon hearing this, and they became more active in validating the Fa.

Phone Calls from Overseas Practitioners Suppressed the Evil

In 2008, due to the Olympic Torch relay, the perpetrators from different levels of CCP organizations frantically persecuted practitioners. They arrested many practitioners and ransacked their homes.

My husband (a practitioner) was arrested at his workplace. The local fellow practitioners immediately looked up the names and phone numbers of the police and people at his workplace, who had participated in his arrest and published the information on the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net). Overseas practitioners made phone calls directly to the exposed persecutors and effectively suppressed the evil. In the meantime, the local practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts. My husband did not cooperate with the evil in the detention center. His body showed some symptoms of illness, and therefore the perpetrators at the detention center were afraid to accept him. It turned out that within less than two months, he was released. My husband told me after he returned, "After the overseas practitioners called the managers at work and the police officers' homes, they were all very scared and tried to shuffle off the responsibilities."

We realized that this is a reflection of Dafa's divine power after the overseas practitioners and local practitioners formed a unified body, with Master's benevolent strengthening.

I recommend that all local practitioners learn from the actions of overseas practitioners, treating fellow practitioners' difficulties as their own, and continue collecting information to quickly expose the evil. The one-body coordination will leave the evil with nowhere to hide.
