Missions in communist countries

- I have participated in prayers for persecuted Christians and oppressed people in communist countries and have been interested in countries in Asia such as China, North Korea, Vietnam and post-Soviet state Kazakhstan.

- I did not know that WELS has missionary work in Vietnam. This was very encouraging and interesting to read:

"WELS is currently the only Protestant church with official government permission to work with the more than two million Hmong living in Vietnam and surrounding countries."

Grace: "In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace." (Colossians 1:6)




WELS: Vietnam – Hmong outreach (full text)
https://wels.net/serving-others/missions/asia/vietnam/
"It all started when Zang Lou, a leader within the Hmong Fellowship Church (HFC) in Vietnam, viewed an online sermon by WELS Pastor Bounkeo Lor in 2011. The clear proclamation of law and gospel and the message of pure grace through Jesus Christ was something he had never heard before . . . and he wanted to learn more. ---

With every visit Lor has made to conduct training in Hanoi, approximately 60 church leaders have attended to learn more about the truths of the Bible. These same 60 leaders have been taking the message back to their rural congregations, preaching the message of salvation by faith, not by works – something the members had never heard before. The HFC was a church body of 55,000 members when Zang Lou first reached out to WELS. In the years WELS has provided training, the HFC has grown from 55,000 to over 100,000 members and formed many new churches."





WELS (3.1.2019) read the full text:
https://wels.net/vietnam-2/
"The Vietnamese government has invited WELS to build a theological training facility in its capital city of Hanoi, an unprecedented opportunity for our synod. WELS is currently the only Protestant church with official government permission to work with the more than two million Hmong living in Vietnam and surrounding countries."
