YWAM Ho Chi Minh City
Much has changed since we left last year, but the base is still up and running and
doing what they can as they deal with lockdown after lockdown with each COVID outbreak. A few months ago, the staff felt God leading them to move into a
nearby house. This way, all the staff could live together and not have to travel between apartments for different things, and they could save some money on rent. In
May, the staff went on a short-term outreach in central Vietnam to bless the base and a few churches there, as well as do some evangelism in tribal
areas. Originally, they were planning on running a DTS in March, but as the country's borders were closed, they decided to postpone it until July. Now that
it's June, and the borders are still closed, they are facing the tough decision about whether to run the school in person, online or postpone it again. Ho Chi
Minh City is currently on a pretty extreme lockdown again after another COVID outbreak hit a couple weeks ago. They are saying the outbreak started with a church
so now churches aren't allowed to meet, all gatherings must be online, and there is a lot of hatred being aimed at Christians. The base has even had to
move their worship and intercession times online so that the staff not living on base can join. Please join us, and the base staff, in praying for God's guidance in
this situation.
