\nONE PERSON, ONE FAMILY, ONE TOWN<\/strong>
\nLast month a lady (Danh) came by Elder Nhan\u2019s house seeking more understanding of what it means to be a Christian. Elder Nhan was able to share the Gospel and she prayed to receive Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Danh then wanted Elder Nhan to share this Good News of Jesus with her friend Lan, who lives in Cau Nuoc Mang (about 15 minutes away). Lan then prayed to receive Jesus

\"\"<\/a>

TAXI TO CHURCH<\/p><\/div>and told Elder Nhan she wanted him to share with friends, who live in Tan Thang (about 30 minutes from Binh Chau). When Elder Nhan arrived in Tan Thang he was greeted by 3 families with 9 children. After sharing the Gospel with them, they all prayed to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Thank you Jesus! <\/strong>The church rented a truck to go pick up the kids (picture to the left) from Tan Thang to take them to Children\u2019s Church in Binh Chau. They were so excited. After Children\u2019s Church, the kids spent the night at Elder Nhan\u2019s house. They were then joined by their parents on Sunday and attended Worship Service together. The church then rented a van and took everyone back to Tan Thang. God is soooooo Good!!<\/strong>
\n
\nTHE GOSPEL GOES FORTH<\/strong>
\n In our November newsletter we introduced
\n you to Mr. Sau Cong from Suoi Bang and
\n asked you to pray that God would open the
\n door for a house church to be established in
\n his home. Praise God as He has answered all

\"\"<\/a>

DISCIPLESHIP CLASS<\/p><\/div>
\n of our prayers! The picture to the right shows
\n Elder Nhan conducting a Discipleship class
\n in Mr. Sau Cong\u2019s home for some of those
\n who prayed to receive Jesus last month. He
\n will hold these weekly and also train Mr. Sau
\n Cong to lead the house church there. They
\n have a total of 10 people to start (his family
\n and some of his neighbors). Elder Nhan has
\n also started Discipleship classes for the one
\n family in Cau Nuoc Mang. In addition, he
\n has sent Mr. Nhang and Kim to Tan Thang
\n to start Discipleship classes for the three
\n families living there. How great is our God!<\/p>\n

\u201c And this Gospel of the kingdom will be
\n preached in the whole world as a testimony
\n to all nations, and then the end will come.\u201d
\n Matthew 24:14 <\/strong> <\/p>\n

Nancy Lupo has long had a vision of the
\n church in Binh Chau as the \u201cheart\u201d with
\n vessels leading out to all the smaller towns
\n and hamlets, where the blood of Christ would
\n cover and save His precious people. We thank
\n God for giving us the privilege\/blessing to
\n work together to further His kingdom.
\n
\n CAM ON CHUA<\/strong>
\nGod used this Christmas season to bring much joy, encouragement, and excitement to the church in Binh Chau.

\"\"<\/a>

BAPTISM<\/p><\/div>The church is now experiencing the fruit of the Christmas Evangelistic Outreaches. Last month 22 people prayed to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior and last Sunday (1-9) 28 people were baptized at the Binh Chau church (picture to left). These events have strengthened our brothers and sisters in Christ in the Binh Chau church and instilled a fire in them to share Jesus with others.
\n
\nOPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD<\/strong>
\nWe asked for and were told we would receive 200 boxes from Operation Christmas Child for the kids in the Binh Chau church and those non-believing kids who would come to the Christmas Outreach. We ended up receiving 45 boxes (picture below). This was not enough to give every child in the church a gift. However, God always provides. The church went to the homes of the kids

\"\"<\/a>

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD BOXES<\/p><\/div> that received the boxes and asked for the empty boxes back. They then went and purchased gifts to put back in the boxes to be given out to the rest of the children. Plus more boxes were bought and filled with gifts. So every child received a box.
\nWe give thanks to Jehovah-Jireh (the Lord will provide).
\n
\nPRAYER REQUESTS<\/strong>
\n1. Please pray that God will use the Binh Chau
\n church to reach all the surrounding towns
\n and hamlets with the Gospel.<\/p>\n

\n the 22 people who prayed to receive Jesus
