Finding Sobriety — and Jesus — in Vietnam’s Christian Drug Rehabs

By Frank Johnson on December 1, 2024 0

FROM CHRISTIANITY TODAY:
Finding Sobriety — and Jesus — in Vietnam’s Christian Drug Rehabs
In Vietnam, approximately 60 Christian-run drug rehabilitation centers are achieving remarkable success by combining abstinence, Bible study, and prayer. These centers report numerous instances of individuals overcoming addiction and transforming their lives, often becoming pastors, spouses, and active community members. One such example is Hung Quang Pham, a former heroin user with AIDS, who experienced physical healing and a renewed purpose through faith. The effectiveness of these programs has drawn the attention of Vietnam’s communist government, which has struggled with the high relapse rates and human rights concerns associated with its compulsory treatment centers. The government is now exploring the methods employed by these Christian facilities to address the nation’s addiction crisis.

Lord Jesus,

This day, we cast our souls upon Your sacrifice as our only hope for purpose, meaning, and fulfillment here on earth and for life in the age to come.

This day, we swear allegiance to You, our King.

This day, we pray that You would set our hearts aflame for Your cause and for the over 3 billion people in this world who have yet to hear Your name.

We long for the day that we will stand before Your throne, surrounded by the most diverse community ever formed — from every tribe, every tongue, every people, and every nation — those whom You have purchased with Your blood — as we cry out together "Worthy is the Lamb!"

Until that day, we commit ourselves to loving our brothers and sisters in Christ — no matter what their people group, no matter what their language, no matter what their race, no matter where they are from — and to living in community with them — that the world may know that the Father loves them and that He sent You to save them.

This day, we devote our lives — our time, our money, our passion, our mind, our strength, our everything — to see Your gospel proclaimed in every corner of this world.

And we thank You for the astounding privilege of playing a small part in carrying Your name to the nations!

There are four basic ways to join a missionary team and participate in God's story of restoring the nations to Himself:

GO: You can physically join a missionary team "on the ground" in their geographical area of service. This can be in the form of a short-term trip (1-4 weeks), a longer stay (1-3 years), or a career commitment.

PRAY: You can subscribe to the missionary team's email or print newsletter, follow them in social media channels, join their private Facebook group, etc. and commit to praying for them and the needs they share on a regular basis.

GIVE: You can financially support the missionary team or their organization (either through cash gifts and/or monthly commitments).

SUPPORT: You can provide logistical support to the missionary team in the form of administrative help, website development, social media channel maintenance, newsletter processing, and a host of other tasks and projects - anything that will allow the missionary team to devote more time to their primary calling.

As you consider how the Lord would have you join missionary teams, please join us in our Daily Declaration!

We invite you to become a part of the Hesed community and join us in our passion to reach the unreached.
