During our devotion time one day, a team member told us of his goal of finishing strong … and how he was intentional about what steps this would take.  He has a plan and by the grace of God will carry out that plan.

In a lighter sense, we wanted to finish the trip strong and strong it was, leaving our hotel (see Sunday-Go-To-Meeting) in time to attend a  7AM (!) worship service (see Initial Public Offering and A-Choiring A Song) at the same downtown Ho Chi Minh church we had visited earlier in the week (and which ICM had partnered to build).  Around 1,500 gathered with us to praise the Lord and acknowledge ICM’s contribution (see The Wave), all before the Benediction. Fortunately, there was a front row seat available for me in the balcony!  On the way out, we saw the choice of transportation for most of the congregation (and city!... see Yikes Bikes!) and met our Vietnam Partner’s son (see In His Image).

#2 coming up …
