Dear readers, it has been a while since the last update . Do you
know there has been a total
of 4 visits this year to our
Vietnamese missionary, by
various church members
including our Calvary
Missions Fellowship
committee members. Praise
and thanks to our Lord for
the constant increase in the
extension of His kingdom. In
Mar ’07, CMF moved to
support the start-up of
hostel for workers and also
the use of this premise for
their Sunday Night
Fellowship. There are
about 22 in attendance then.
In June they had a gospel
rally and 6 souls are saved.
Now they are about to
complete their catechism
class in preparation for
baptism.
The hostel has
8 occupants now and one
brother is under training
for fulltime ministry in
answer to our Lord’s
calling. Hostel fellowship
attendance now stands about
30 people.
A Saturday night fellowship too has been started near our
kindergarten area to meet
the spiritual needs of
university students and
workers nearby. Out of the
15 in attendance one brother
here too is preparing to
serve the Lord fulltime. CMF
is giving support to both
that are preparing for
fulltime ministry.
Brethren, you may wonder why all this start-ups? Most of those
worshipping do not go to
church simply because there
is few around and
transportation is too costly
for them to bear.
Our Kindergarten has done well with about 70 children and
there is not much space
left. The writer’s visit
happened during the
graduation day and witnessed
about 60 parents in the
crowd. Our missionary couple
is well received by them.
They do regular visits to
their homes, pray for open
ears and eyes to their
gospel witness.
Recently, CMF also supports the training of 11 persons in theology
class for those desiring
to serve. They meet every
Monday evening and one whole
day class on the 1st Saturday
of the month.
Prayer Requests: Wisdom and grace for the mission couple in guiding the affairs of the demanding tasks ahead. Pray for the spiritual growth of the people in their care, that they may be able to labour in the Lord’s harvest field. Kindergarten needs bigger place; presently we thank the Lord for enabling the kindergarten to take care of the couple’s expenses, and by His grace it may do more than this.
