Brother Nam had known nothing about God, but one day when an evangelist shared the gospel with him, he learned about who God is and it changed him. He was moved to tears when he came to understand about God and His love for Nam. Since then, he says “I need nothing. God is everything to me.”
After he became a Christian, he met the woman who would later become his wife. She was not from a Christian family but was the daughter of a veteran who fought for the communists. Her father warned her, “If you become a Christian, you are no longer my daughter.”
Feeling compelled to put her faith in Christ, she followed Nam in becoming a Christian. Her father did not react well to her decision and disowned her, completely.
Financially struggling to support themselves, they had no one they could turn to, but they stayed strong through it all as a husband and wife and as Christians, they love God and were determined to remain faithful to Him.
Nam and his wife moved away to another province. Their new neighbours soon became aware of their Christian faith, and warned them, “Don’t preach the gospel here.” Many in the community believe Christianity to be an American religion and reject such Western influences.
The neighbours have tried a number of ways to force them out of the village, even cutting the power to their house. Eventually able to restore power, they remain in the village, though they face discrimination and isolation from the villagers.
Despite ongoing persecution, Nam and his wife meet with a second Christian family for worship. As believers, they count one another as family, both sharing and supporting one another in every way.
