Part 8
INTERNATIONAL
The Word of Life Church has a vision to not only conquer 63 provinces and cities of Vietnam for God, but He also calls the Church to other Southeast Asia countries. In 2010, Pastor Pham Tuan Nhuong received a vision to evangelize the countries of Indochina. In 2011, the Indochina Missionary Associate was established, with the mission of bringing the Gospel to surrounding countries such as Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, etc. After 10 years, the Word of Life Church has had missionary trips to Thailand, and opened new churches in Laos.
The Holy Spirit says: Not only to this country, but I have called you specifically to the Southeast Asian countries, to go to all the Southeast Asian countries in the way I lead you. But you must start from your own city and step by step I will lead you to other areas in this country and your neighboring countries.
Excerpt from the prophecy establishing the Church through pastor Christian
In 2009, at a missionary conference in Hong Kong, God gave Pastor Pham Tuan Nhuong a vision of the missionary mission to other countries for the Word of Life Church
"Vietnam has received the Gospel. Now is the time for the Vietnamese churches to stand on their own feet, taking responsibility for evangelizing the people of Vietnam and neighboring countries".
Establishment of the Indochina Missionary Associate
On the first day of the year, January 1, 2011, during the first staff camp, there was a memorable event: The announcement of the establishment of the Indochina Missionary Associate. With the goal of not only evangelizing Vietnam and neighboring countries, but also connecting the international missionary network. The Missionary Associate's leadership is led by Pastor Pham Tuan Nhuong, with members such as Pastor Nguyen Huu Bao, Pastor Khong Vu Dung, Pastor Vu Dinh Tuan (now no longer in the Word of Life), Pastor Nguyen Chau Calep (now no longer in the Word of Life), missionary Bui Minh Peter (now no longer in the Word of Life) and a number of other members participating in to promote missionary work in and outside country.
Many long-term and short-term missionary campaigns continuously attracted many participants. Missionary work towards the South was launched, and new churches were opened. There were many missionary trips to Malaysia, or exploration of new lands in Cambodia, Southern China.
Establishing work in Laos
Since 2011, the Word of Life Church has made many missionary trips to Laos to expand God's work in this country. Around 2019, Senior Pastor Pham Tuan Nhuong sent Pastor Huynh Tran Ngoc Hung, Pastor Nguyen Ngoc Duy and Pastor Tran Thien to southern Laos to visit and care for some groups in Laos.
In February 2020, the Word of Life Church opened a Bible School course in Da Nang for pastors in Laos. In the following years, when the pandemic occurred, the Church stood together, prayed, and helped the Churches in Laos many times. On November 5, 2022 in Da Nang, 12 Churches in Laos officially wrote an application to join the Word of Life movement and from this day we officially have the Word of Life Church in Laos with 14 Churches and about more than 2,500 people.
