Monday, 4th November, 1996 Reports from up-country were interesting. From the Village of Dilinh. All 100 inhabitants have turned to Christianity. This was a huge shock for the Government as they had Dilinh as a model village to promote the communist cause and party ideals. The Government attempted to win the villagers back. They slaughtered a goat and mixed it's blood with wine. The authorities demanded that the villagers drink the blood/wine and deny Christianity. Nobody was persuaded to turn back to communism including the children. All villagers remained true to Jesus Christ. A villager was reported as saying, "The more the communists persuade us the more God blesses us and the faster the church grows." During an evangelism training class, the students were sent out to practice and won 913 people to the Lord and added them to the unregistered (underground) church movement. One group of house churches gained 16,000 new converts in 1995 it was reported. At 11.am we set off for HCMC TSN Airport for our flight to Bangkok and on to Sydney, Canberra. We had a 5 hour stopover in Bangkok and then the flight to Sydney. NOTE: The following year on the 26th April, 1997 I suffered a severe relapse of PTSD along an escalation of existing physical ills. I was forced to retire from paid employment permanently. After a long recovery I am now a TPI pensioner. Physical problems still plague me. Mentally I am stronger and I am able to manage my PTSD. The road ahead looks bright. Would I do it again? Visit Vietnam for the 3rd time? Absolutely! Not to visit war sites but to just take in the tourist thing for a change and to minister to the saints. When? Sometime between now and whenever God opens the door, as finances permit.
