Love Wins!

This is the face of the love of Christ.

She lives in Vietnam, a communist country that officially is opposed to Christianity. But love will find you.

She's been taken into the family of a man (through a World Vision sponsorship) who served two tours in Vietnam. He was a soldier. The sounds and sights of battle still are with him, and the loss of friends still aches. For many years he has carried animosity toward the people of Vietnam. He's not alone in that. Some would say "It's only natural."

Well, the love of Christ is SUPERNATURAL.

So Larry Smith Sr., Veteran of Vietnam, former infantryman with the Blue Spaders of the Big Red One, is so filled with the love of Christ that he felt compelled to move against that which had held him captive for so long.

And Love won.

That's why we call our community... New Hope.
