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.

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.
