Covid-19 Update SE Asia

April 2, 2020

Covid-19 Update Vietnam

By: Dr. Joshua Nguyen, BMI Regional Director SE Asia

As the coronavirus spreads across the globe, we are deeply concerned for the well-being of our Seed company staff, MBMP5 (Marketplace Biblical Mentoring Program, Year 5) students, and for the health of churches and communities that are adapting to it.

Vietnam Update on March 26:
. 148 people were infected with Covid-19,
. 1,643 suspected people are being isolated and closely monitored.
. There are 44,955 people in contact with people with suspected infections.
  . There are 26,135 who have entered from the epidemic area and are being monitored (quarantined), which means quarantined at home or the place of residence.

In Ho Chi Minh City, since March 28, people in the city have been banned from gathering more than 10 people. We have worked from home since last Monday. We do meetings, mentoring, and coaching via Live Stream or Video Zoom.

Our family is doing fine. Praise God  Thien Y, our daughter, has accepted a job to work as an advisor at KMPG company last week. Shortly thereafter, the company decided not to hire any more people because of Covid 19.

As God’s people, we are called to embody the virtues of faith, hope, and love. We trust God’s unfailing love (Ps.13:5). We wish to have the opportunity to love and care for all, believers and unbelievers alike.

We are praying daily for you, your families, and BMI family.
God is with us always.

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS FROM JOSHUA:

ACTS-19 – GOD’S RESPONSE TO COVID-19

Why Acts 19? Because in that passage we see the Church operating as the Ekklesia outside of the religious buildings with such power and favor in the eyes of the unbelievers that “all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord…and God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul” (Acts 19:10-11).

Covid-19 Update Ukraine

April 2, 2020

New Reality, New Opportunities

Update: Covid-19 Ukraine – March 2020

By: Dr. Vitaly Sorokun, BMI Regional Director Eastern Europe and Former Soviet States

The normal life has been put on hold. Over past decades my country – Ukraine – has been through a lot of life changing periods. We lived through the Perestroyka. We lived through the collapse of the USSR. We survived the dark years of anxiety when the newly emerged sovereign Ukraine was developing its economy and geopolitical vectors. We lived through the Orange revolution, two ‘Maidans,’ the Revolution of Dignity which ousted the corrupt president. We’ve have been at war with Russia for 6 unending years. We’ve been through many states of emergency.

But, nothing has been quite like this new reality – the presence of the invisible enemy COVID-19, which threatens your life at times and in places you expect the least. In response to the virus, the government has closed educational institutions, shut the country’s borders, banned foreign and domestic travel, outlawed congregations over 10 people and keeps imposing greater restrictions daily.

As a body of Christ we are firm in our conviction that God is sovereign, that He is in control. And we have to adapt to the new challenges.

Our church – New Hope International, which unites people from over 20 countries of the world – is going online. We had to cancel all physical services and groups. As of this Sunday, we are going to live stream a shortened version on the church service. We are already conducting all leadership meetings over the Internet. Our home groups, and our men’s and women’s Bible studies are now on-line. We are having to learn as we go.
We do not lose heart. In fact, going online creates wonderful new possibilities for us: we can reach out to more new people who were hard to reach physically. We can reconnect to our former members who are now scattered all over the world. And we can actually start something innovative – train Christian leaders and mentor our disciples using digital means!

Dr. Sorokun Continues His Mentorship Online: 

More from Vitaly: 

“I ran a one hour zoom meeting with Dr. Mike from Mombasa, Kenya. Mike needed assistance with digitally streaming his church services, and I had an opportunity to help him, while also investing on behalf of BMI.” 

“During the lockdown we, as Christian leaders, have a chance to intentionally invest into relationships and to mentor our disciples with precision. I have begun to mentor a long time graduate of my church who was one of my disciples and leaders at my church when he studied in Kharkov. Lincoln is now a doctor, and lives in Malawi. We meet once a week and are going through the BMI Encountering Christ.” 

“Today I had a Google Duo mentoring meeting with another of my disciples from Angola – Elvis. Elvis is 25 and is an international student in Kharkov. He is going to be a tremendous Christian leader. We started Encountering Christ today!”
