14,000 Children give their lives to Christ in one month in Vietnam!
In the communist country of Vietnam, as in any communist country, children are very protected from any influence that would "cause them to rebel against the communist regime" as they get older. They consider Christianity a threat to their unquestionable rule. So, "unauthorized" religious gatherings are punishable according to their laws. Despite the challenges, here’s what the Church in Vietnam is doing – and they’re having phenomenal results!
In their plan to reach their nation for Christ, they put on children’s evangelistic parties. They give out invitations to 30-50 children in their town or village to meet at a specific location and time. At the party they play games, hand out party favors, and then they hand out a copy of the Most Important Story Ever Told booklet. The trained Christian workers holding the party go through the booklet with each child individually, answering any questions they might have. Then they invite the children to become a child of God by praying the salvation prayer in th booklet. Typically 70% of the children make a decision to follow Christ!
The results don’t just stop at the children either. Thousands of siblings and adults have come to know Christ as well as they see the children’s lives transformed by the Gospel! Many adults then have attended the next party to talk to the facilitators and give their lives to Christ as well! Then the cycle continues.

Many children there actually prefer to use their actual birthday party to do this outreach!
