<\/a><\/p>\nMai reports with much excitement that God\u2019s hand continues to be on the Binh Chau church, especially with all the children. Saturday Children\u2019s Church has increased dramatically since last June\u2019s Vacation Bible School. We feed and have worship, prayer, and Bible study with 80-90 kids each Saturday night. Due to the growth, we have had to go from 3 up to 5 classes now for the Bible studies. Two of these classes have to meet outside (picture above of Elder Nhan teaching the new believer\u2019s class from Teo Neo) and battle the mosquitoes and the weather. We are in need of more classroom space. Mai was able to meet with the contractor who built the church and kitchen for us in Binh Chau. She shared our plans with him, but he requested we re-draw them in Vietnamese. Mai asked him if he could give us an estimate based on the square footage of the building we would like to see constructed. The approximate cost he gave us was in the $75,000 range. Please join us in prayer that God will provide the funds in His perfect timing for this additional building for classrooms and other needed works (O).<\/p>\n
CHRISTMAS OUTREACH<\/p>\n
The church has been busy with preparations for the Christmas Outreach to be held on December 22nd. The ladies (picture above) have been busy wrapping all the children\u2019s Christmas gifts. We deeply thank all of you who contributed funds for the gifts. Each child in the church and any non-believing children who attend will receive a gift. We have a well known Christian singing group of 15-20 youths coming from Saigon. They will put on a Christmas concert. Afterwards, Elder Nhan will share the true meaning of Christmas and then give an altar call. Snacks and beverages will be served after the service. The members of the Binh Chau church are going to distribute 300 invitations to the Christmas Outreach Service. Each non- believer attending will be given several tracts including Evangelism Explosion, Christianity for Vietnamese, and Honor your Father and Mother (Vietnamese are told Christians will have them dishonor their ancestors in becoming Christians and this explains through the Bible how they can still honor their parents without the altars). A special offering was asked for un the Binh Chau church and $2,500,000VN ($125US) was given to purchase these tracts. Please pray God will use this outreach to reveal Himself to many of these non-believers.<\/p>\n MINISTRY NOTES<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
