Through the cooperative efforts of the Catalyst Team and other members of our church, an amazing work has begun in the Vietnamese community in Hampton Roads. We praise God for the work He continues to do in this large segment of our local population (between 3,000 and 4,000 people).
Our preliminary interactions with the Vietnamese community were in the form of fellowships—mostly social functions where relationships were developed. At our three previous gatherings, we had 60, 97, and 89 in attendance. On Sunday, February 27th, at our official launch of Bible Study and worship, there were 31 in attendance. At the end of the service, two high school students prayed to receive Christ!
We will soon be starting two small-group Bible studies in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. Once a month on the third Sunday of each month, we will gather back at Crossroads Center for a large-group Bible study and worship service. God has provided a Vietnamese pastor from Richmond to lead Bible studies and worship services in the Vietnamese language.
Please continue to pray for this new ministry that it will be a vehicle to reach the unsaved from this community.
