Demolished Church Rebuilt in Faith

[123] prayers in [8] nations have been posted for Pastor Xuong and congregation.

The congregation led by Pastor Xuong outgrew their meeting space in a member’s home and looked for an opportunity to build a church. One of the deacons offered his land, and members raised money for the new building. For a year after the building was completed, officials routinely threatened to tear it down. One night in September 2021, Pastor Xuong was called to the church, only to find the building completely destroyed. Though angry, disheartened and unsure how members would finance a new building, Pastor Xuong began searching for a new location. Eventually, church members found a place and began building. The new church opened on Christmas Day 2023. It is now not only housing a vibrant congregation but also is serving as a training center for other pastors and evangelists.
