Mission Vietnam Project: Sister Churches
Envision hearing, after being harassed for years and even jailed for
preaching the gospel, that you now have a "license to preach"
the gospel and will even be able to construct over one hundred new
preaching houses! This is exactly what ministers in Vietnam and
experiencing. If you remember, in a previous newsletter we told you
about a shrimping village about an hour from Saigon that Dr. Wright had
visited. This church had become the focal point of the community and is
providing a focal point for Christian evangelism and discipleship.
It is the vision of Mission Vietnam's leadership to see American churches
around the country, "adopt" similar churches throughout Vietnam.
This partnership between American and Vietnamese churches would provide
a stimulus of growth that would bring unprecedented growth to the Kingdom
of God in Vietnam. Our vision is to see this partnership flourish through
correspondence and the sharing of testimonies and projects alike as each
congregation works toward the same goal. Our Executive Director, Dr.
Wayne Wright, writes of his recent conversation with Brother Samuel
(General Superintendent for the A/G church in Vietnam) as well as the General
Superintendent for the CMA church, "Both pastors were very excited
about the idea of sister churches. The Communist government has already
approved building 45 churches throughout the country of Vietnam—
just for the Assembly of God church. They have also approved at least
three times that number for the CMA church!"
The inflation rate in Vietnam is now escalating (approximately 20% a year) but
these churches can still be built for under $15,000 each. Brother Samuel talked
about a church that was recently completed in the Central Highlands. He stated
that the community was so excited about the church that they come to the church
daily! Brother Samuel would like to concentrate the first few churches in the
Central Highlands where he thinks the greatest need exists.

Vietnamese Churches are waiting for an American "Sister Church"
As a young pastor I once had an older pastor advise me to never forget to give to
missions. As he said, "Your church will never miss the money because God will
bless your church financially for giving to the work on the mission field." After
many years in the pastorate I can tell you that he was right. In fact, many times, when
a church becomes mission-minded, it will foster new growth and excitement about the
great commission. The opportunities in Vietnam are limitless! Why not partner with us
in this great endeavor?
