A Call to Prayer
In early November, as Central Việt Nam reeled after the storm, the ministry called God’s people to pray for the people of Quảng Nam. Even before the appeal was finished, some had already given quietly, without needing to be named. From November 7 to 19, 2025, the ministry received 16,100,000 dong in donations for Central Việt Nam.
Doors Opened With Smiles
After two hours on a bumpy road from Đà Nẵng, the team arrived in light rain. When the doors of the local church opened, the bright eyes and warm smiles of the people waiting there moved the team deeply. In the midst of hardship, they saw resilience and strong faith in God’s provision.
Many believing families opened their homes for the team to stay and prepared warm, heartfelt meals. In a place they expected to find only devastation after the storm, the team found warmth and unity among God’s children.
105 Gift Packages
65 packages went to members of the local church and 40 to friends in the commune. Each package contained 10 kg of rice, 1 liter of cooking oil, 1 liter of fish sauce, 1 bottle of soy sauce and 500,000 dong in cash. Believers in Đà Nẵng donated the cooking oil, fish sauce and soy sauce, worth 8,875,000 dong.
After a time of sharing and testimony about the transformation that comes from walking with God, the team began handing out the gifts. There were firm handshakes, emotional hugs and choked-up words of thanks. Although heavy rain warnings kept coming, every time the team needed to move the rain stopped, as if God’s hand were opening the way.
“And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
Our Hearts Go Out to Central Việt Nam
During those same days, Central Việt Nam continued to suffer major floods: dozens dead and missing, tens of thousands of homes flooded in Gia Lai and Đắk Lắk, and deep flooding in Khánh Hòa with damage still being counted. The ministry earnestly invited God’s people to pray for those affected, for the rescue teams and for relief work to go smoothly.
“Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.” (Romans 12:15)
Let Us Pray Together
- For the people of Hiệp Đức and Central Việt Nam to rebuild their lives soon after the floods.
- For the local church to keep being a support for the community.
- For the families who hosted the team to be richly blessed by God.
