Our favorite Texas pastor, Bob Roberts, is defying stereotypes again, this time by this time by inviting a delegation of Vietnamese government officials to spend three days in Texas hosted by NorthWood Church. Bob and his staff arranged for meetings with businesses, ministries, and NGOs to discuss how they could help Vietnam reach its economic development goals. IGE's Hien Vu participated in the meetings, and reported that the Vietnamese officials expressed their gratitude for NorthWood's love for the poor. It was so extraordinary that it was covered by the Dallas Morning News. The different work of NorthWood and IGE respectively was also covered by Christianity Today in May in a variety of ways. IGE's Jared Daugherty also wrote an article advocating a constructive approach to religious freedom in Vietnam.
