Witnessing God’s Marvellous<br />

Work in Vietnam<br />

WHEN ASKED by church members<br />

how my mission trip to<br />

Vietnam went, I have only one<br />

thing to say, “It was good to my soul.”<br />

There is no doubt that the recent trip to<br />

Vietnam has done me good spiritually.<br />

Besides ministering to the usual groups and<br />

interviewing potential students to study at<br />

FEBC, I also had the opportunity to meet<br />

with two “unofficial” church leaders. One<br />

of Salvation” was well received. It ended<br />

by noon. Then lunch was served. At 1.30<br />

p.m., Mark began his first part of the session<br />

on “Biblical Separation.” Though the<br />

materials were heavy at times, the people<br />

enjoyed them thoroughly. There were some<br />

good questions asked. Mark ended his session<br />

by 4.00 p.m.<br />

On the second day, we met at another<br />

place. This time, we met at a shop house.<br />

Rev. Colin Wong<br />

teaching God’s Word<br />

to God’s people<br />

of them invited Mark and me to his home.<br />

He shared with us his testimony. He has<br />

been a pastor for more than 20 years. <strong>His</strong><br />

ministry is mainly in the countryside. He<br />

also ministers to the needy on the Thai-<br />

Vietnamese border.<br />

We left Singapore for Ho Chi Minh<br />

City, Vietnam at 9.10 in the morning and<br />

arrived there safely at 9.45 (Vietnam time).<br />

Thank God for a pleasant flight. Pastor Cu<br />

and Deacon Du received us warmly. After<br />

we checked in at the hotel, we had discussions<br />

and prayer. Since we did not have<br />

any training sessions that day, Mark and I<br />

went for a walk in the city. We did some<br />

shopping.<br />

On the first day of our training session,<br />

Pastor Cu and Deacon Du came to<br />

the hotel and fetched us for breakfast (traditional<br />

Vietnamese noodles) at 7.30 a.m.<br />

and later to the meeting place at the church.<br />

The session began at 8.30 a.m.. There were<br />

12 people. Some were unable to come because<br />

of work. The session on “Assurance<br />

“God is doing<br />

a marvellous<br />

work in Vietnam.<br />

Though it is still a<br />

“closed” country,<br />

there is a great spiritual<br />

hunger in the hearts of the<br />

people.”<br />

The noise of the traffic made<br />

teaching difficult. However,<br />

by the grace of God, Mark and<br />

I were able to instruct <strong>His</strong> people.<br />

As usual we began at 8.30<br />

in the morning. I taught them the Book of<br />

Esther, with special emphasis on the Sovereignty<br />

of God. And Mark continued his<br />

second part of the session on “Biblical<br />

Separation” and finished by noon.<br />

On the third day, we met with another<br />

house church group. We were told that its<br />
