Our team in Vietnam serves through a local organisation that exists to equip, empower and enable marginalised young people with disabilities to work and live independently. They also support an emerging faith community as well as vulnerable mothers and disadvantaged children.
“In Vietnam, our team serves through a vocational training centre for people with disabilities. The students are trained in teaching, business management, English, baking and more.
We celebrate that this centre is fully managed and operated by local people with disabilities. As team members, we come alongside these young people and share the love of Christ by doing life together.
We have also begun a weekly house church gathering where we prepare a meal and invite the local staff to join us in exploring God’s Word and praying together.
Our hope and prayer is that through our house church ministry, our friends will have the opportunity to experience God’s love and care, and to slowly grow in relationship with Jesus.”

Our partner organisation in Vietnam was founded in 2007 by Hoa (Peter), with a vision to equip young people with disability with the skills they need to be able to live independently.
This led to a vocational training centre being formed to train people with disability in teaching, business management, English, baking and more. We celebrate that our partner organisation is fully managed and operated by local people with disability. Our team members come alongside these young people with disability, building relationships, supporting them and sharing life together.
