He still sends His Son!

June 8, 2012 by warvn 2 Comments

For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.  John 3:16-17

In the rich narrative of Nicodemus’ night time encounter with Jesus we are treated to the Gospel in its distilled essence.  Easily the most well known verse in the Bible, Jesus proclaims God’s love and our access to eternal life through John 3:16.  Continuing on to the next verse, Jesus helps us understand even further His purpose in coming.  Namely that He came not to condemn but that through Him the world might be saved.  We give thanks to God for this wonderful love through which He sent His Son.

The beauty of seeing a new church planted lies in part with the reality that God is once again sending His Son so that the world might be saved.  Every time a new church is planted the Body of Christ is placed in the midst of people who need salvation.  Whenever and wherever a church is planted it is the Body of Christ, the physical presence of Christ in our world.  That might be within a geographical context or even just within a network of relationships.  A new church is formed in a neighborhood or a village and there the Body of Christ is available to all who live in that place.  A new church is formed among factory workers or university students and there the Body of Christ is available to the network of relationships among those people.

The Oslin group is a number of Believers you have been praying for as they have received training in Obedience Based Discipleship (OBD).  As you have been praying God has been at work.  This group has continued to be faithful in putting into practice what they have learned.  They are growing in how they follow God and actively sharing His love with others.  Reports have come in as to how they have shared the Gospel first in one new area where 25 new people have placed their faith in Jesus Christ and come together as a new church in that place.  In a second area about 30 people have come to salvation in Him and also formed a new church.  As these new churches have been started God is once again sending His Son to those places that the Vietnamese peoples there might be saved through Him.

Please continue to pray for the Oslin group that they will remain faithful to God in winning the lost, discipling new Believers and starting new churches.  Pray specifically:

–For two additional areas where the Oslin group has been sharing the Gospel.  They have seen one or two new Believers in each of these areas.  Pray that God will multiply that fruit and those two areas will also have a new Body of Christ emerge.

–Pray that God will give the Oslin group continued boldness in the face of persecution and opposition from authorities they have experienced.  This opposition has increased in recent months since the start of their OBD training.

–Pray for more training times to be held with this group of committed followers.  The opposition from authorities has made it difficult for several of these servants to gather together for additional training.  Pray that God will provide protection for them and the means for them to receive further training to encourage and equip them as they pass the same along to others.

–Pray that God will multiply these new churches to see many successive generations of churches planted that will spread among all the peoples of Vietnam.  Pray that multiplying churches will result in every city, every village, every district, every group of people so that the Body of Christ might be within reach of the millions of lost in Vietnam.

      We posted previously some information that relates to Obedience Based Discipleship (OBD) under the heading of ‘Profit and Price’. You can find that article and video that describes some of the OBD process at this link: http://bit.ly/rvnprice

      We would also highly recommend the book, “T4T: A Discipleship Re-Revolution” by Steve Smith and Ying Kai. You can find this book on Amazon at this link: http://amzn.to/rvn_t4t .

      Our focus at reachingvietnam is to win the lost, disciple believers and start churches. The process we follow that encompasses all of these is essentially the same as what is outlined in the T4T book. T4T itself has been used mightily of God in mobilizing kingdom multiplying movements throughout the world. We prefer the term OBD, but otherwise there is no difference.

      Let us know if you have more questions – and THANK YOU for your support in seeing the Vietnamese peoples reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Sidewalk snacking and relaxing with friends are ve Sidewalk snacking and relaxing with friends are very common on the streets of Saigon.

True friends heighten our joy in God. Friends who are abiding in Christ and enjoying their relationships with God enhance our relationship with Him. Do you have a friend that encourages you in their daily walk with God? Let them know how they bring you greater joy in God through their example.

“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Ask God to bring believing Vietnamese friends together in order to lift up one another in God's love and encouragement. Pray that God would bless and bring joy to those who serve Him. #pray4vietnam.

Looking from on high into Saigon from District Bin Looking from on high into Saigon from District Binh Thanh towards District 3 is full of people who are living lives looking for happiness.

We were made to live in relationship with God. Happiness is found in getting to know God a little bit better every day.

The writer of Philippians discovered that “For my determined purpose is that I may….progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly” Philippians 3:10

There is a difference between knowing about someone and knowing someone. Paul, the writer of Philippians knew God because he had a relationship with Him and took the time to get to know Him.

Pray for the city of Saigon to know God through digital engagement. In 2020 70% of the population was online and that has increased in the past 3 years, by as much as 20%. Ask God to move hearts to know Him. #pray4vietnam

International Children's Day is observed in Vietna International Children's Day is observed in Vietnam on June 1. Special events for children are featured and parents show their love especially on this day.

We trust God when we know Him. As we grow to know Him more, we can rest in His goodness, even when we do not understand circumstances. Just like parents want their children to trust them as loving parents, we can trust our heavenly Father to always do what is right.

“Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.” Isaiah 26:4

Father, we pray especially for the children in Saigon for each one to have the opportunity to grow up in a home that knows you God as One True God of the world. Bring parents to the saving knowledge of You and teach children to know that You are Loving and Trustworthy. #pray4vietnam

Paper sacrifices, incense, and prayers bring displ Paper sacrifices, incense, and prayers bring displeasure to our One True God, but the people of Vietnam are truly seeking hope.

““Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that You, O Lord, are God, and that You have turned their hearts back.” Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God.”” 1 Kings 18:37-39

Pray for the people of Vietnam to know that the Lord is God. #pray4vietnam

The words that a person speaks reveal their heart. The words that a person speaks reveal their heart. Words of gossip, words of meanness or words that hurt can only describe the darkness in places of the heart. We live out the conditions of our hearts.

“A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad.” Matthew 12:33

Pray, asking God to make our hearts clean and full of His light. Out of that light, our words will encourage and build up and not tear down. Ask God to help make our words thoughtful and full of kindness rather than selfishness and envy. Pray for the words Vietnamese use every day, words to build up and not tear down. #pray4vietnam

Tight walkways through this local market will have Tight walkways through this local market will have goods to sell on one side with tasty options to eat on the opposite side. Early morning finds spaces, but as the day progresses lots of people will fill the market. Deciding when to shop and eat are the basics to make life more productive or peaceful.

Thought about these questions lately? Why are you living for Christ? What is your motivation for being part of the kingdom of God? Are you living for yourself, or are you willing to live for others?

When our focus shifts from ourselves to others, everything changes. We lead more productive and peaceable lives.

“So I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.” John 13:34

Pray for Vietnamese to love each other as Jesus example of love. Ask for God to bring His kingdom to have a greater influence in Saigon. #pray4vietnam

Coffee with milk, coffee with ice, and freshly squ Coffee with milk, coffee with ice, and freshly squeezed, green-skinned orange juice are available for convenient street-side pickup.

What if a menu sign had: love, grace, and mercy available? Would customers flock to receive these items? Yet those are what God is so good to give.

“Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!” Ephesians 2:1,4-5

Praise God for His love, grace, and mercy in each of our lives. Ask the Holy Spirit to move in Vietnamese lives that have read or heard His word today to bring them back in obedience or to save them. #pray4vietnam

#street #bibleverse #prayerchangesthings #gospel #vietnam
Some time or another everyone needs to have someth Some time or another everyone needs to have something mended or sewn, but not everyone has the skill or equipment. Street side sewing and mending are quite convenient and easy to find among Saigon's 10 million plus people.

Embracing a self-awareness of our abilities and inabilities can help us to grow. We need God to help us reach and exceed what we can only dream.

“Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit. How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog---it's here a little while, then it's gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.”” James 4:13-15

Pray for Vietnamese to rely on God. As plans are made, seek God to determine steps each day for His Kingdom to come. #pray4vietnam
