Vision For Pastors

Background: Vision Beyond Borders has been working in Central America for over 20 years. We have helped deliver tens of thousands of Bibles for the Christians there. In Cuba around 80% of the population practices witchcraft.

The people in Cuba are very receptive to the Gospel and the pastors there need our help to support them in their work of planting more churches. In Cuba children are brainwashed against God. Children are told in school to stand up, close their eyes and ask God for candy. When they open their eyes, their hands are empty, the teachers tell them to pray again asking Fidel Castro for candy, when they open their eyes, their hands are full of candy. They are told God is dead and he cannot help you, you need to pray to Fidel and he will meet all your needs.

Your support helps a pastor to provide for his family, help church members and to reach out and share the Gospel with people bound in witchcraft and the occult. The leader of Cuba is opposed to God's Church so please keep praying for the work of God in Cuba.

One pastor who is being supported is planting a church in a nearby town where people are very receptive to the Gospel. A man who is a barber and known by many people has recently come to faith in Jesus Christ. This man has a tremendous ministry among the youth and has invited many young people to the church and they have come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The new church plant has 16 people already and is growing weekly! Your support is making a difference!

Who they are

The Hmong Christians are the front-line leaders for revival in Vietnam.
Hmong are 100% farmers and therefore their lives are dependent upon the fruits of their labor.
The weather makes this incredibly difficult.
They have limited land and poor soil.
They are impoverished and watched by the Vietnamese government and face incredible discrimination.

Christianity in Vietnam

Gospel broadcast via radio starting in the 1980’s. Since then, there has been an incredible revival of 700,000 coming to know the Lord!
It is a common goal of the leaders for 100% of Hmong people to become Christians.
Christians are persecuted by the communist government.
Believers are often kicked out of the village and into “the bush”.
The government confiscates property and farming supplies.
Other Christians who are already banished from their homes divvy up the limited property they have to the other believers in order for them to have some food from their farming.
Many leaders have been arrested; it is not new to them.
They see it as an opportunity to share in the prisons the good news of Jesus.

Hmong Christian Leaders

The money they receive is primarily used for traveling expenses, not for pocket money.
Two or three times a year they receive a couple of weeks of discipleship training and Biblical teaching then travel for the rest of the year to teach other Christians and oversee many congregations. Greatly focused on discipleship training and church planting.
Leadership training is vital to the Gospel being shared among the Hmong.
Hmong do not have the same education or opportunities as Vietnamese do for education.
Trainers at the conferences teach in the Hmong language.
They cannot learn or understand otherwise.
Example of traveling expense: cost of ticket to Hanoi or Saigon to receive training is about $50.
Extra income coming in is essential for traveling costs to spread the Gospel.

NOTE: Thanks to the support of our faithful donors, we currently have sponsors for all our pastors! We do know that there are many more in need of sponsorship, however due to the current travel restrictions and lack of communication with Hmong living in remote areas we lack the information required to sign them up.

As soon as that situation changes we will be accepting new sponsors! If you would like to be contacted when we have identified new pastors for sponsorship please just let us know and we'll make a note of it. Thank you for your prayers and support!

Sponor a Pastor

We feel called to support these faithful leaders enduring great persecution. It is our hope to ease the financial stress for pastors so they may have the freedom to build their congregation, develop new ministry outlets and focus on their community needs.

Annual sponsorships of $420 for Pastors are available and can be paid monthly through automatic withdrawls of $35.

These sponsorships provide for pastors or evangelists to travel to remote villages with the Gospel. With this sponsorship, they are further equipped to disciple new believers and train future spiritual leaders.

We currently have pastors needing sponsorship in Cuba, Nepal,and Venezuela. Please fill out the form below for more information to partner with a specific pastor in need.
