Christ-like behavior touched the opponents heart

Christians in Vietnam often face persecution from their neighbors, particularly in rural areas where tribal communities are expected to follow traditional gods. Members of these groups who choose to follow Jesus face exclusion, discrimination, and even attacks.

Despite all they have faced from their neighbors and authorities, the Christians have shown Christlike grace. The well provides enough water for the whole community and is open for everyone – Christian or non-Christian, whatever they have said or done in the past.

In the central highlands, one group of Christians have shown extraordinary forgiveness to the community who have tormented them. The local authorities and the villagers have persecuted these believers for years, but these Christians are following the example of Jesus and blessing those who persecute them – with clean drinking water.

This project is just one of several in the region – about 1,000 people have been blessed with access to clean water so far.

“The church was so blessed by their act of faith,” says a local believer:“They became well-known in the community. The local authorities stopped persecuting them, and so did the villagers.”
