This month, we visited three orphanages and organized three gatherings for orphanage graduates at neutral locations in the city. We are mentoring over thirty children who have graduated and remain connected with us. We assist them in studying, earning money, and managing their finances while providing guidance and mentorship.

Hope… Isn’t it what revives us? Especially during cold and long winter evenings, it gives us strength to keep going. When parents come to visit their children, we invite them to play together in the snow—a time when they share many warm and happy moments.

Our team of volunteers, representing eight congregations from the region, along with some young people who are not yet church members, conducted two family retreats. Over the two sessions this year, we hosted a total of 145 people. This year, we had a new addition to our team

We came to Vietnam to sow the Word of God among the local population, but the Lord, as it is written, blesses abundantly. He Himself has started to open up neighboring countries (Laos, Cambodia, Thailand…) for evangelism. Recently, many Russian-speaking people have also been arriving here, and we see they also need salvation.

We believe that by reaching one generation for Christ and teaching them to do the same, we can change the entire history of a nation that has long worshiped ancestral spirits. God’s work is visible worldwide, and we are honored to witness His power among people who have yet to know Him.

Winter is approaching, and a major need for refugees is warm clothing. I reached out to several organizations requesting assistance, and, thank God, we received a large quantity of items. Every day, we invite refugees to come and pick up the clothing they need, all provided and distributed free of charge.

For those who have read our book “Dreams Come True if You Believe”, you may remember our adopted son Jeremiah – a musically gifted teenager who was one of the first to join our family. This month, he and another of our adopted boys were accepted into the Discipleship Training School (DTS) at Youth With A Mission in Madang.

This month has been filled with joyful events as well as challenging situations. Our friend Saveliy was baptized and immediately joined a mission team. He can’t keep silent; he shares about Christ with everyone he meets and tells his testimony.

At one of our meetings, I met Atefa from Afghanistan, who came to study at the University. After her exams, we were able to have dinner together, and I got to know her better. She comes from a modern Afghan family that moved to Pakistan after the Taliban took control of their country

Grace and peace to you, dear friends, brothers, and sisters, may they multiply. Recently, we had the opportunity to reach new areas for evangelism. This is 70 kilometers from where we live, near a Christian family from the Raglai tribe, whom we are teaching to observe the Scriptures.
