Dr. Joshua Nguyen together with his ministry partners have incorporated BTMP/MBMP in Bible schools in four SE Asia countries: Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. This year also marks the seventh MBMP graduation of marketplace leaders in Vietnam: 22 students have graduated this unique program, with the plans for over 20 new qualified students to graduate the class of 2023 in early March.

SEVEN STEPS TRAINING has taken place in 5 countries

In addition to BTMP/MBMP, BMI’s flagship course Seven Steps of Christian Living remains in high demand all over SE Asia. This year Dr. Nguyen has taught the course in Cambodia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar. Most times, the training takes place in partnership with leading Bible schools or seminaries.

Dr. Joshua Nguyễn is the BMI Regional Director for SE Asia.   He conducts ministry in the entire region – Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and the Philippines.   Several months ago Joshua, his wife and children all were infected with Covid. Joshua was sent to the hospital, and Linh, his wife and children had to go live in an isolation apartment.  While in the hospital, Joshua received good medical treatment and told everyone about the Lord!  We are very thankful to God that they all recovered and are telling their story about God’s grace and protection over them!  

See below some pictures of Joshua’s recovery as well as some ministry highlights from this year:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VIETNAM: Dr. Joshua Nguyen and his wife Linh hosted the 5th graduating class for the MBMP. There were 10 of 12 graduates in attendance. The dynamic Marketplace Biblical Mentoring Program trains young professionals in reaching their communities and workplace associates for Christ! It is encouraging to see that there are young people today who would go through this year-long course to tell others more effectively of the joy of Christ!

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).
