Sunday at 2 churches in Mountains north of Ho Chi Minh City

I shared at two churches several hours northwest of Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday.  One is the outreach of the other among tribal people.

Visited an Orphanage on Saturday

After many hours of travel to the north of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) we got to an orphanage with about 70 well -taken-care-of kids.  As the picture shows, kids are kids anywhere you find them.

Evening with Youth Group in Saigon

My first evening was spent on an outing with the Youth Group from Antioch Evangelical Church (AEC).  In the picture we are at a park doing what they call "Sit Down Coffee"   It is just a time of sitting in a circle sharing coffee and other snacks, while witnessing to some newcomers about Jesus.  I had a great time.

I made it to Vietnam

I flew from Guangzhou, China to Ho Chi Min City this afternoon.  I will spend the next few days with various ministries of the church here in the city and with some mountain tribes about 5 hours away.  I will be preaching at a tribal church on Sunday morning.  Tonight, I will be with a group of youth from the city church who will give me a tour of Ho Chi Min City (former Saigon).  For sure I will have some pictures to post later tonight.  Thank you for your prayers.

I'm in Guangzhou, Guangdong now

After a very busy schedule in and around Jiangmen, I am now in Guangzhou in a hotel near the airport.  I will fly from here to Vietnam on Thursday. 

 

Saturday evening, I had supper with the Bible students from the new Bible School located in Jiangmen Christian Church.  Every Saturday night they have this time of fellowship together in preparation for going out to various churches on Sunday.

When I visited Jiangmen in 2009, this couple had been hosting a very crowded Sunday night meeting in their house for almost 10 years.  Now they have a new church building with around 100 attending every Sunday morning, as well as a growing children's and youth ministry.
