Kulpin Ministry
Serving in Vietnam
My name is Alexander, I am 55 years old and married to Irina, together we have 2 children and 2 grandchildren. We heard the call from the Lord to minister in Vietnam on a trip there. On November 2017, we left Omsk and moved to Vietnam in order to evangelize the lost souls here. Please pray for us, and if you can support us financially as we want to expand the Lord’s Kingdom, we would be very grateful.
Our latest updates
Vietnam – a faithful family!
Sisters, grace and peace to you and may you be multiplied! I am eager to inform you about the ministry that we are carrying out in the name of Jesus Christ among the Rāglai tribe. We have been working there for over 3 years, and God immediately urged us to pray for this family, where 7 people have already been baptized, to become a family of evangelists.
Vietnam – In Need of Transportation
Today, heavy rain is falling again, and we are about to embark on a short-term mission to Laos, where we work, spreading the Word of God through evangelization, printed materials, and providing food. This time, we have decided to travel by mopeds (1200 kilometers round trip, 745 miles) as renting a car proved to be very expensive – $700.
