The Church of God Comes to North Vietnam
Church of God - General, Global Missions
|
Praise God! Eight years after the first Church of God presence in South Vietnam, the fast-growing church has now reached out to the north, to Hanoi. The phrase “God works in mysterious ways” holds true. God has not just brought two people together through an arranged marriage but also North and South Vietnam.
K.T. Tan, one of the early members of our Singapore congregation, was introduced to a northern Vietnamese lady named Thi Loan through an online marriage agency. They were married early this year and in April went with Singapore’s founding pastor and missionary Neville Tan and his wife Anne to Saigon to the wedding of a South Vietnamese pastor’s son. K. T. had also invited his wife’s parents to come to Saigon to meet the South Vietnamese pastors. Within six days of their meeting, Thi Loan and her parents had received the Lord and were immediately discipled and baptized at the end of the week.

India Violence: An Update from Orissa
Church of God Ministries, Global Missions, CBH: Christians Broadcasting Hope
|
|
Today, we received an update by e-mail on the situation in Orissa, India, from our good friend and colleague, Asim Das. Asim ministers in Orrisa, one of the most religiously radicalized states of India, where religious persecution and violence aimed at the Christian community has exploded in recent weeks. In a previous message, Asim spoke of the persecution sparked by the assassination of a radical Hindu leader. It was assumed by his followers that the Christians were behind his death since he had targeted Christians when he was alive, and so the destruction and killings began.

God’s Amazing Grace in New Zealand
Church of God Ministries, Church of God - General, Global Missions
|
|
By Diane Davenport
I had a conversation the other day with a Maori woman who attends the local university where Dan Blanton and I are doing chaplaincy work. Not long after we met, she said, “I wonder if you’d pray for me. I’m trying to stop doing drugs.” In further conversation, it became evident that the drugs were interfering with her studies, her family, and especially her relationship with God. She said, “I’m just too ashamed. I want to fix things, but I don’t think God will accept me.”

Religion or Superstition
Church of God Ministries, Church of God - General, Global Missions
|
|
By Dave and Kathy Simpson
“You must understand,” Nedko insisted, “Bulgarian people are not very religious. But they are very superstitious!” We hardly needed this reminder when we had the following three conversations in the span of five days. We told an inquisitive taxi driver that we were working with the Bulgarian Evangelical Church of God. He excitedly responded, “My woman attends an evangelical congregation. But I am Orthodox. See, I have my icons hanging here. And I always wear this bracelet with thirty-three beads [representing the years Jesus was on earth]. These give me protection; they keep me safe.
