MISSIONS

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

(HOE-chee-men) - Please continue praying for the thousands of people who

received a personal gospel witness and evangelistic materials during the

Christmas season. Praise God that as you have prayed for this ministry,

people have responded to the gospel! Your prayers are even more needed

now for the follow-through. Throughout the month of January, most people

are preparing for the Tet holiday that comes next month. Pray that this will

not keep the gospel seed from growing. Ask that those who have made

decisions for Christ will grow in their newfound faith. Lift up the believers who

are patiently discipling and helping them take steps of obedience. Pray for

these new believers to commit together to be church and to multiply them-

selves through the sharing of their faith with their family and friends.
