After listening to him unburden his heart, Nguyen’s friend opened the Bible and began to share the Gospel. That life-changing conversation brought Nguyen to Jesus Christ—and he found spiritual rest. Despite the noise of the bustling traffic outside, and the heat of an impending monsoon, nothing could distract or interrupt their prayers.

I am preparing for my baptism, and am studying the Bible. My name is written in heaven!”
