An Interested Vietnamese Woman

A few months ago, Keri met a new contact An, who lives just around the corner from her. Since the day they met, An and Keri gather together every Tuesday to talk about life, family, and religion. An and her husband are very strong Buddhist. At the same time, they are people of peace and openly encourage learning more about the gospel. Keri had shared the Creation to Christ story twice with An, but they were reaching a plateau with the language barriers. Finally, the Lord provided a Vietnamese translator, Hanh, who is also a believer. After An told us more about Buddhism and essentially got "backed into a corner" with her words and lack of knowledge about her own beliefs, we were able to share the gospel again and some stories from the Bible. An proclaimed "I believe" but she doesn't know if she can follow Christ because "she was born into a Buddhist family and owes in to her family."

When we left this past Tuesday, we prayed that Jesus would reveal himself to An supernaturally, specifically through a dream. Please join us in praying for next steps and for God to reveal himself to her.
