The congregation led by Pastor Xuong outgrew their meeting space in a member’s home and looked for an opportunity to build a church. One of the deacons offered his land, and members raised money for the new building. For a year after the building was completed, officials routinely threatened to tear it down.

One night in September 2021, Pastor Xuong was called to the church, only to find the building completely destroyed. Though angry, disheartened and unsure how members would finance a new building, Pastor Xuong began searching for a new location.

Eventually, church members found a place and began building. The new church opened on Christmas Day 2023. It is now not only housing a vibrant congregation but also serving as a training centre for other pastors and evangelists.

    Pray for them

    Thank the Lord for bringing good from trials and suffering.

    Thank the Lord for the protection of the church and its members over the past year. Pray the witness of these believers will be used by God for the spiritual blessing of their neighbours, and the local authorities.

    Pray for believers in other rural areas of Vietnam – where there are very few Christians and the persecution is severe. Ask the Lord to help these believers stand firm and trust in Him.
