MORE VIETNAM


This legendary , near Centurion , at 96  used her cell phone in the seminar  as her Bible,  to follow the references. Her passion for Christian Service   remained  in focus  after receiving Christ at 14 years old .  Her dreams of marrying a Pastor were soon realised.   
Together  they had 11 children ,  and 10  have  followed her into late life. 
Her husband  at  37 years died during the War  recalling sadly his death some  60  years ago, she ruminated the trauma of that time.   As  she spoke  with remarkable clarity , "Alone , I  could not keep all my  little ones  safe  it was during the War and we lived in the Mekong Delta.  only God could keep all the children accounted for at that  difficult  time.  But God did , and they all lived. 
There is a Revival  in the church because she has been so consistently enthusiastic about the things of God, having founded the church and many people are attending.  When she was 80 she went to Malaysia as a missionary to the Vietnamese working there. . A young Vietnamese man became a Christian and she discipled him and when he returned to Vietnam, she put him through Bible school.  He is the pastor of the church today.
  I was also introduced to a beautiful young lady at our seminar at who went blind at 40.  With an interpreter we shared our hearts and faith and  candidly our .hopes, like the best of friends.  We cried together when we said good bye.
