Thirteen Three’s Ambassadors were recently in Vietnam meeting with persecuted Christians. The team saw firsthand how God is growing His church in Vietnam despite relentless pressure from the Communist authorities.

Here are some of the highlights from the trip as seen through Twitter and Instagram.
