Part 9
RECEIVING
Not only evangelize and open new churches, Word of Life Vietnam also receives many other churches to merge into the Word of Life movement, just as the prophecy. There have been churches in Mong Cai, Hai Phong, Dak Nong, Dien Bien, Phu Yen... and churches in Laos that have come to the Word of Life Church. The Word of Life Church has received them, blessed them, and equipped them to serve God more effectively.
People will come to you and say to you, “Show us, teach us, help us, train us; we want to serve God as you have served Him.” They will come from the east and the west, the north and the south; you shall receive them and bless them.

Receiving churches in Laos
In 2010, the Word of Life Church had a vision to go to neighboring countries, and in 2011, the Indochina Missionary Associate was established. Since then, the Word of Life Church has made many missionary trips to Laos to expand God's work in Laos. Around 2019, Pastor Pham Tuan Nhuong, President, 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 Churches 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 Church in Vietnam and from this day we officially have the Word of Life Church in Laos with 14 churches and about 2,500 people.
Receiving other brothers
As the prophecy established, “People will come to you and say to you, “Show us, teach us, help us, train us; we want to serve God as you have served Him”, many individual churches have learned about the Word of Life Church and come to join. In 2012, the Mong Cai Church of Pastor Phan Thi Hong asked to join. In 2013, the Dak Nong Church of Pastor Nguyen Van Quyen joined. In 2020, the Hai Phong Church of Pastor Do Duc Khuong asked to join, in 2024, the Church of Pastor Nguyen Thi Nhe asked to join... Up to now, the Word of Life Church has received about 10 churches with 7 pastors asking to join.
Not only that, ethnic churches in the northern provinces such as Dien Bien, Son La, Lai Chau, Lao Cai... after a period of learning have also come to join the Word of Life. Currently, in Dien Bien, the Word of Life Church has 21 churches, of which 8 have been licensed with about 1,000 believers.
