Faith
Grace Baptist Church. Who are they?
To answer this question I would like to personally invite all of you to
enter into its members’ lives. Each Sunday morning, you will see them waking up very early,
dressing in their best clothes and with their hearts filled of
joy and happiness;
together they go to the Lord’s house.
Together they praise and worship Jesus Christ, their
dearly beloved Savior.
How
do they have such happiness?
Simply because they met Jesus
Christ.
They opened their hearts and invited Jesus into their
lives to be their Leader, and Lord forever. Jesus once said to them, “….
I have come that they may
have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
(John 10:10). As
God’s children, this promise is a great blessing because God
showed His Love to them and to you when he came down to this
earth as a
man.
His ultimate goal is to provide eternal life to all of
his children, including you.

“I have come that they may have life,
and that they may have it more abundantly”
John 10:10

What
is having life?
What is having an abundant life?
Life does not imply our physical health, but
rather our spiritual well-being.
In terms of spiritual health, Living means
having a relationship with God.
It means linking the broken bridge once separated by
the power of sins.
Sins have led mankind into a world hatred, chaos, war,
corruption in society, families broken, morals standard
altered.

Jesus Christ came to this earth to link that broken
bridge between God and mankind.
At
the same time,
linking the bridge between mankind, so they can have a
life of peace, love and hope-not only for this life but for
eternity. The
word abundant does not mean wealth.
It means the fruits of happiness, peace and hope.
When you visit this church, you will meet all types of different people
from up North down to South. From regions or cities such as Ha Noi, Hai Duong, Nam Dinh,
Hai Phong, Hue, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Quang Nam, Sai gon, Can
Tho, Rach Gia, Ca mau etc.
Even though, they all originate from different places
in the country and having a variety of education
backgrounds…. They
all have the same goal
which is to bring God’s Love and generosity to all of
Vietnamese’ people.
They may have different character traits but they are
bonded together tightly.
They love and care for each other.
In true love, they share each other’s sorrows.
They accept each other’s differences,
misunderstandings and persecutions.
They are working together giving praise to the Lord
everyday- thanking him for all that He’s done.
Together they are bringing the Gospel to their fellow
friends.
Dear
fellow Vietnamese, representing this church’s decants and members, I invite you to come and worship.
Your presence will inspire them to serve the Lord and
their fellow people. You
will be greeted with the utmost respect.
Through his blessings, you’ll walk out of this church
renewed.
. May God be with you all.
Pastor
Dang Minh Lanh
