DAY #16 - VIETNAM

Dave Ohlerking has felt a special connection with the people of Vietnam since 1975 when he was on the ground during the final days before the end of the Vietnam War. He was there as a missionary and promised to return one day when God opened the door. That door began to open again in the early 1990’s and Dave returned, this time with the first of several ocean containers of hospital equipment and supplies being donated by friends of Children’s Cup. The gifts have presented some tremendous opportunities to share the reason for the kindness (our answer is always, “It is what our God teaches us to do - to love those who have been called our enemies”).

It is still a very delicate situation, but lack of details won’t limit God’s ability to hear your prayer for the children of Vietnam. Pray for the children in Viet Duc Children’s Hospital, and for the “Agent Orange” children (victims of the chemical effects of some of the weapons used in the Vietnam War). And pray for wisdom and guidance as we continue to try to show God’s love to the children of Vietnam.

Today we have invited Mike Haman, a pastor on staff at Healing Place Church to lead us in prayer.
