Soviet Ship Brings Bibles to Vietnam

The World Bible Society’s Stuttgart office has confirmed that 20,000 Vietnamese-language Bibles have arrived in Hanoi. These Bibles were a gift of the East German Lutheran federation, and had been brought to Haiphong on the Soviet freighter "Sinegorsk". Twenty-thousand songbooks have also been shipped. These transactions were agreed upon during the visit of a Vietnamese Protestant delegation to the GDR in March 1980.
