On Chinese New Year, I had the privilege of preaching to seventy-five children, young people, and adults in Tom Tune’s hotel room in downtown Ho Chi Minh City. During the past three years, while supervising the construction of the Ship of Life on the Saigon River, Tom has been helping street children. He has paid for their school tuition, supplied their basic needs, and worshiped with them on Sundays. Consequently, many of the teenagers and adults are now Christians. Three more were baptized March 10.
Three teenage girls (Ngan, Phuc, and Uyen) have graduated from high school and have been accepted into Harding University on the condition that they pass the TOEFL. Tom is using the WEI courses to help them study English and the Bible.
