VIETNAM PROJECT- July, 2015

"To be honest, I would not have sought out this trip on my own. ... But when Kent asked if I would consider coming along, I had an overwhelming sense that I was being called to Vietnam by God the Holy Spirit.

My father is a veteran from the Vietnam War. Growing up I only had a vague sense of what my father experienced, but I knew it wasn't positive ... The mere mention of the country invokes painful memories for my father. And yet, here I am, training men and women to become effective Bible communicators. He was asked to bring a gun. I was asked to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

And not only the training, but the encouragement that Cross Talk Global brings to these pastors and teachers is needed. Day after day I heard from pastors who experienced persecution because of the Name of the Jesus. ... Even in the midst of persecution, the pastors still minister. They faithfully shepherd the flock entrusted to them by their Lord with whatever resources they have. Which are often not much at all.

Many of the pastors expressed gratitude that Kent Edwards, Blayne Banting, and myself had come to equip them ... CrossTalk ... "could transform all of Vietnam." I have felt an incredible sense of honor to serve the Church in Vietnam."
