Church Planting in Vietnam & SoCal (Thien Doan)
- $40,000
One-time Goal - $29,845
One-time Still Needed - $10,000
Recurring Goal - $9,885
Recurring Still Needed
I continued praying that God would open up doors for me to continue this work in Vietnam. That’s when I was introduced to a group of like-minded missionaries from a well-established, church planting, mission organization called E3 Partners, which has over 400 missionaries in 65 countries and works with over 2,000 national missionaries. They exist to “EQUIP God’s people to EVANGELIZE His world and ESTABLISH His Church.” One of the leaders of E3 asked me to join E3 as a Church Planting Multiplier to recruit, train, and help form missionary teams to plant missional churches locally in California and in Vietnam.
I know what you’re thinking. And no, I am not leaving Citylights Church OC. The board of elders has agreed with this calling and has approved that I stay on as Lead Pastor on a part-time basis. So no, we’re not moving. Kerry and I, and the kids, are staying in Orange County. Although the job does include traveling regularly to Vietnam, my home-base will still be in California.
Through much counsel and prayer, and God willing, my goal is to be able to step into this new role by the Fall of 2019. I’m really excited about this next ministry assignment. Our team has big dreams of establishing 500 missionary teams across California and 50 in Vietnam in the next 3-5 years.
Thanks for allowing me to share this quick update with you. This is a big step of faith for me and my family. I am in the process of building a team of prayer and financial partners to support us in this new ministry venture. We would be honored and filled with gratitude if you would consider becoming one of our prayer and financial ministry partners.
