In August, Grigory and Alexandra visited our sister Simei, who lives 1,700 kilometers away from us and sows the Word of God among the Hmong and Dao (Zyao) people. We support and pray for them together with you.
Sapa is the city where Simei lives and serves — located 1,500 meters up in the mountains. Travel there is difficult, so most of the journey was done on foot.
They visited several small groups of believers (10–15 people), where they spoke about God’s guidance, the importance of feeding on the Word, and the need to remain watchful in God, because the devil is also at work and devising schemes.
We bought a gas stove and a gas cylinder for Simei because we saw how much time she spent gathering firewood and preparing food. She has three children of her own and has taken in two more children from her deceased brother. Her husband is not a believer and continues to drink and live a reckless life.
Thank you, dear friends, for your ongoing prayers and support for the ministry to the peoples of Vietnam.
We also gave Simei’s biological sister — her name is Nai — a solar-powered audio Bible. She lives high up in the mountains where there is no electricity or internet access.
We’re praying for the Lord to raise up a permanent team of evangelists in that region. It’s costly for us to travel there, so we’re only able to visit these tribes and peoples 2–3 times a year.
Thank you again for your faithfulness!
