Thu 30. Esther – Vietnam
A 60-year-old new believer in a church we have just launched was facing serious opposition from her husband. However, when the man observed God's transformation upon her life and how in answer to her prayers, God delivered their addicted children, he decided to start going to "her" church too. In our Asian culture where most husbands dominate their wives, it is unusual for a man to follow his wife like this. It is something only Jesus could do. Praise Him!
