My dear fellow servants of God,

First of all, please mark on your calendars for the coming important date of Saturday, October 20th, 2018. It is the Association Annual Meeting that will be held at Berea Bible Church in North Hollywood from 9:30 am until 1:30 pm. This special event will include the fellowship lunch that costs $7 per person. The promotion flyers are on the way of snail mail to your church. Please encourage your church members to participate in this meeting. I guarantee we will have a great time together when listening the good reports of the exciting ministries and significant changes of our budget that will hopefully be able to realize our dream for God's Kingdom. I will share with you the dream of reaching at least 200,000 people for Christ. That number is only 5% of the estimated 4 million people who live around our churches. I would not want to be the single swallow that can not make the Spring season. The goal appears a humble number but it is challenging enough to compel everyone of us to work together for the valid plan. Therefore, please call or text me at 818-730-3510 or email to antam007@yahoo.com to let me know number of people from your church that will attend the Annual meeting.

Secondly, I have a special request for you to pray urgently and earnestly for me and my wife. We plan to celebrate our 42nd Anniversary on Sunday early evening November 4th this year. The main reason for this special event is to invite between 150 to 200 non-believing friends and acquaintances to attend the dinner and hear the story of our Christian marriage. We imagine that we can no way bring that big crowd to churches to hear the salvation message. Therefore, we make up this opportunity to share the Good News in a natural and friendly way. Most of my guests are successful people, at least several of them are doctors or dentists (they are my medical school classmates in Vietnam). Others are our high school and college classmates. We also have relatives and family members who are not Christians. Since they know that I am a P astor they do pay due respect to us but they would not be ready to hear the Gospel.

My wife and I desperately need your earnest prayers for this event.  

Please pray that:

1/ The Holy Spirit will convict their hearts when I will share our personal relationship with Christ.

2/ I will be wise and tactful to share the Good News through our marriage experience in Him.

3/ The program content to be well prepared and attractive enough to make up for things that will be absent at the party: serving wine and enjoying the social dance.

I am forming praying teams to pray for this project. I learned this from Billy Graham's crusades. He and his wife organize multiple praying teams to pray for him and the crusade.

I am working hard to recruit the singers and musicians and to be creative in planning the program content.

If you wish to attend this event, please email or text me your residence address so that I can send you the formal invitation. If you can come to the party then I will also ask you to work with me as effective witnesses for Christ.

For the sake of His Kingdom,

T. A. Nguyen, your fellow servants of Christ
