same way today. One the first converts at Hanoi
was an example of this. How it rejoices the hearts
of the missionaries thus to see God "working with
them" as He worked in the early church.
A celebrated Annamese sculptor at Hanoi came to
hear what this new doctrine taught. He was con¬
vinced of the truth of the gospel, met Jesus, and
went back to his friends and relatives with a testi¬
mony that brought many of them to the Saviour.
Thus began the church at Hanoi.
Another chosen man of God at Hanoi was a university
trained Annamese who was among the first
converts. He came from a wealthy family of the
better class, and was disowned by his relatives when
he accepted Christ as his Saviour and Lord. But he
took up his cross gladly and followed Jesus. Later
he went to the Mission Bible School and became an
evangelist who has been mightily used of God to the
salvation of hundreds of souls.
A trophy of those early days at Hanoi is a young
metis Chinese-Annamese, who went deep with his
Saviour and has become a leader in the Annamese
deeper life conventions, an excellent Bible teacher,
and a "go-between," uniting in fellowship the expatriated
Chinese, who have found their Saviour in
French Indo-China, and the native Annamese Christians.
In addition to giving such excellent leaders
to the Church at large, the church at Hanoi has
grown and developed until today it is self-supporting
