Our vision for Vietnam is to make disciples among the majority and minority peoples through the engagement of strategic partnerships. This vision can be fulfilled when there are movements of disciples who gather and reproduce. Our strategy is to first engage the majority Vietnamese people, the Kinh, with a strong network of local and international partners. This majority people make up 90% of Vietnam's population but only 1.4% are evangelical Christians. Without a strong and reproducing Vietnamese Kinh church, the task of reaching other unreached people in Vietnam is compounded.
In addition to this large task, we desire to start a parallel work among one of the 68 unreached people groups in Vietnam. These unreached people groups are a combination of Buddhist and ethnic religions. Our multinational team will partner with like-minded organizations and minister through education, development, and transformational business.
