VIETNAM MINISTRIES, INC.
NEW CHALLENGES
There are approximately 3 million Vietnamese living in over 100 countries outside Vietnam, and 85 million people living in Vietnam today. According to a U.N. study, Vietnam is ranked 13th among the most populous countries, and Vietnamese is among the twenty most spoken languages of the world. There are more people today who can read and write Vietnamese, with a literacy rate reaching 90.3%. Supplying nearly 80 million people with Christian literature and Bibles is huge challenge and, yet, it is a privilege for all of us to be partners together in spreading God's Word in one of the 20 most used languages on earth.
The current number of Vietnamese Christians has risen to 1.5 million from 150,000 in 1975. Vietnam Ministries, Inc. (VMI) receives many requests from individuals and churches in Vietnam and around the world for training and discipleship materials, devotional literature and Bible commentaries. Moreover, over half a million Vietnamese immigrants and guestworkers live in Eastern Europe and other countries desperately in need of spiritual care and nurturing. This is a great task and responsibility for the Vietnamese church abroad.
In response to these challenges, VMI seeks to introduce Jesus Christ to Vietnamese people both in Vietnam and "overseas." through its ministries. Accordingly, VMI's mission is
To promote the Great Commission through evangelism and discipleship among Vietnamese people around the world by providing all believers with access to the Bible, study guides and education that help them mature spritually and bring others to Christ.
VMI's core values are:
* Glorifying Jesus Christ through service to all.
*Advancing Bible knowledge and theological training.
* Fostering spiritual and emotional wholeness of the person.
* Committing to preserve and enhance the unique Vietnamese history and culture for future generations.
*Raising awareness of the needs of Vietnamese immigrants and local churches worldwide.
