Vietnamese Christian Fellowship (Pearl City, Hawaii, USA)
The Vietnamese Christian Fellowship in Honolulu, Hawaii, began as a church plant in August 1986, led by Luc Van Pham and Qui Thi Vu, a former Mennonite pastor couple in Vietnam, and was supported by the Mennonite Board of Missions, the Lancaster Mennonite Conference, and the Franconia Mennonite Conference. The group initially met in the Kaumakapili United Church of Christ in Honolulu. The effort followed several years of Mennonite Disaster Service activity in Hawaii after natural disasters. Initial attendance was about 40, but the group has never been large.
