A New House Group Is Born
Through conversation, the ministry learned that this sister church was officially opening a new house group that week, with about 15 families taking part at the start. Conditions are still limited, but their longing to gather for worship and to build up the believers’ spiritual lives deeply moved those who heard.
To establish the house group, the church needed essential equipment such as plastic chairs, a sound system and Communion trays for its services.
A Gift of Partnership
In the spirit of working together in God’s house, the ministry gave a portable speaker worth 4,890,000 dong and 2 Communion tray sets worth 1,500,000 dong. The gift is not large in material terms, but it carries sincere love for God’s servants and the brothers and sisters in that country.
“For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.” (1 Corinthians 3:9)
A Growing Bond
Over the past years, the ministry has had many opportunities to walk alongside believers there: reading lamps at Christmas, a door and fans for a small house group, and a young girl’s medical journey. This meeting was not just a visit, but a connection of hearts and a shared vision of service.
The ministry believes that every small contribution made in God’s love will encourage the work of building the church there, so that many families can hear the gospel of salvation and have their lives transformed.
Let Us Pray Together
- For the new house group to be protected by God and to grow.
- For God’s servants in that country to have health and wisdom.
- For many families to hear and receive the gospel.
