In late 2020, CityPartners helped to raise funds to support Bible Society Vietnam’s (BSV) New Testament Bible Project. Between local funds, BSV contributions, and anonymous donations, BSV raised 524,121,600 VND (approximately $22,803 USD), which funded the distribution of 10,014 New Testament Bibles in 7 languages!
Between August and December 2020, collaborating with local churches, BSV distributed the Bibles in seven different language groups throughout Vietnam.

Lien Nguyen of BSV writes, “Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer and financial report. Your contribution is a great help to make our project successful. There still many more Christians out there need Bibles for themselves as well as for nonbelievers. The New Testament is one of great tools to reach out to their neighbor.”
