The Work in Khe Sanh Continues to Grow

sister_churches_03 Rising at 5 a.m. every morning, Pastor Duc's voice can be heard calling out to God in prayer for divine help to enable him to win the people of Khe Sanh who live among the mountains and valleys of the Khe Sanh area. In addition, he is faced with the care and education of the orphaned children in his care. They too are up early and learning to pray themselves.

In this one place, on a hilltop overlooking part of the surrounding A Shau Valley, God has birthed two great ministries - a church and an orphanage. As we have shared with you before, it is a church that serves as a central church and training center for forty-two other house churches dotting the neighboring hills, mountains, and valleys.

This spiritual outpost, so far from any large cities, has become a place of hope for so many. In addition to the flourishing church, there is our orphanage filled with children, forgotten by the world, but remembered by God. Unable to be cared for by elderly grandparents or cast aside by their families or villages, they now live in a home where Christ is Lord and they are loved and accepted.

We continue to bring these two institutions before you because we see unlimited potential for God's work to be accomplished. With the church serving as a local church to the people of its area, as well as a discipleship center for surrounding fledgling churches, the prospect for Christianity to flourish in this area of Vietnam has never been greater! The workers are there. A new bigger church is being built. The community is paying attention and becoming interested. Yet, there remains a great struggle because the people are lacking in funds to finish or expand the work. In an area where $150 per month is a good income, it is easy to see that money to do this type of work is difficult to raise.

Even in the challenging economic times that we face in America, we have the ability to make a great impact in both of these ministries. Through this church we can potentially win thousands to Christ. Through our orphanage we have the opportunity to meet the needs of more children who desperately need our help. The government of Vietnam has granted us this privilege of having our own orphanage with only one requirement - that we take good care of the children. And this we will do. But we must hear from you this month!
