Much of Danang is a surprise. It is very cosmopolitan, with beautiful large buildings. A member of our team, Locke Clifford, who served here during the war in the JAG office in the Army, was able to find a place he visited on China Beach, but little else is familiar, 40 years later.

The people with whom we've talked are forward thinking, resilient. The joy on their faces is such amazing. One team member said "They are such a grateful people, not focused on what they don't have, but on serving their fellow man."

Isaiah 61 speaks of rebuilding, repairing, restoring and reviving the torn places. That's what ICM's work is doing here.

At the first church in Danang, they continue to write the names of new believers in a book each year. We saw the most recent book during our visit. 1033 new believers during 2010! Quite a harvest. As is always the case with ICM vision tríps, we are blessed so much more than we are blessing.

Off to see love homes, chapels and churches today on the way to Hue.
