2 weeks ago I had the privilege of taking a team out to Vietnam with about 150 bibles the trip was a great success and I'm pleased to tell you that despite the fact that the international church was closed down due to it saving to many locals, Vietnam is opening up and persecution is happening less and less.

North Korea
The whole team was at the boarder of North Korea last week. We didn't get to go in but it was a great time to pray for the country and meet people involved in helping out the people.Photo's:

Twenty-Four million people live in this communist state ruled by a one-man dictatorship. The country is slowly opening up to the outside world but there remain economic pressures and widespread famine. About two-thirds of the population would profess to be non- religious (as it is law to worship KIM Jong Il the ruler)
Less than 2% are said to be Christian. Today there are 3 ‘show’ churches in the capital Pyongyang and it is estimated a number of believers worship in secret house churches.

Nam
Just got from Nam yes that communist country the Americans forgot..... Sorry just going there and seeing the country in the state that it is and realising that America agreed to fix the country after the war and pulled out at the last minute kind of gets to me. I'll drop in some photo's when I get a chance.
The delivery was excellent all 140 of the books got into the country and we managed to make some valuable friends and start to discuss new ventures (hope to tell you about them some time soon)
But here's the real reason behind this blog, Vietnam has many different tribal languages and the bible for each tribe needs to be couriade into the country. However the bible in the official Vietnamese text is now legally printed due to international pressure, that's not to say that Christianity is legal yet but it's a great start.
One Vietnamese bible costs 31,976.00 Dong which is to expensive for the local people but only $2us. Does any one have a youth group that would like to put in some money to purchase bibles? If you do please drop me an E-mail and I'll give you my contacts account details. posted by pete footer at 1:38 AM ::: 0 comments
