My phone rang at 4am - Handsome Ritchie called to tell me International Church, in New Jersey will have it’s first public worship service tomorrow.  Pray for them.  Go Ritchie Go!!!  You’re not just handsome, but smart, and you love God.

It’s been too long since I’ve had a trip like this to Hanoi.  The past 3 years, when I’ve come to Vietnam it’s been a blur of meetings from early until late.  This trip, for the past 3 days has been slow.  Tomorrow I fly down to Melbourne, Australia to speak for 2 days then back to Hanoi.  I’ve enjoyed it so much.  What I’ve experience the past 3 days has reminded me what it is of Vietnam that I love so much.

I found my old motorcycle driver - and he took me all over Hanoi.  Later Dung from Glocal Ventures, Minh Song, and myself went and drank tea at Westlake and then hung out at Minh Song’s painting studio.  I also spent about 3 hours with a guy named Tim that does some contract work for us.  WOW - what a guy - very very very impresssed.  We talked lots of philosophy, etc. 

Nikki and the education team are knocking it out of the ballpark - officials from across Vietnam have approached her about doing the same conference in many of the provinces - not sure about how we’ll respond to that but it’s a nice compliment.
