Anyone who has followed Clear & Simple Media knows our work depends on partnerships. We have talked about this on many occassions, but I want to repeat it here because it is doubtful that this will ever change. And in each case where multiple books have been translated, printed, and distributed in significant numbers, it has been because someone on the ground, in the country, made it happen.

To refresh your memory, HERE is a piece we published years ago on how we selected partners.

Here is an update from one of our newest partners on the work he and his team have been doing along the Vietnamese-Cambodian border. This development project is in support of an evangelistic and church-planting effort that (even before the cement dried) was already making headway in this extremely poor area.

Dear Pastor Tom Castor,

Grace and peace to you.

I would like to respectfully report that I have received a total of 75,000,000 VND from you to support the following charitable projects.

The funds have been used as detailed below: Roof installation for three Khmer families in Hoa Thanh Town, Tay Ninh Province: 21,000,000 VND Drilling two water wells and purchasing one water pump for two Khmer families in Hoa Thanh Town, Tay Ninh Province: 9,000,000 VND Housing support for church members and new believers, including: Building wall panels for one new believer in Ninh Dien Installing a roof for one new believer in Thanh Long Cement flooring for one Christian family in Thanh Long Total cost: 45,000,000 VND The total expenditure amounts to 75,000,000 VND, fully corresponding to the funds received.

Thank you very much for your love, trust, and support for these families. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and faithful partnership.

With sincere gratitude,

Pastor Tin Thien Truong
