About Us

For nearly three decades, Reverend Lance Curtis Cross has been fully devoted to global missionary work. His ministry has taken him around the world—from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to Mexico, Japan, Haiti, the Philippines, and Vietnam—where he has consistently advanced the cause of God’s kingdom.

 

In 2018, Reverend Lance earned his Master of Theology degree. Soon after, he became Vice President of Mountains to Mountains Ministries, a faith-based mission organization focused on supporting rural churches and communities, including Jerusalem Children’s Home in Bombardopolis, Haiti.

 

Kim Anh Dinh and her family arrived in Vermont in the early 1990s after leaving a refugee camp in the Philippines following the Vietnam War. Before meeting Reverend Lance, Kim Anh spent nearly 30 years faithfully serving at the Vietnamese North Avenue Alliance Church in Burlington, Vermont—as a Sunday School teacher, church secretary, and worship leader.

 

In September 2020, Reverend Lance and Kim Anh were married and now actively serve together at Daybreak Community Church, a Baptist fellowship in Colchester, Vermont, through their ministry: Encouraging Word International.

 

In December 2020, Reverend Lance was ordained “for the practice of Gospel Ministry” by Daybreak Community Church. Today, he and Kim Anh live in Burlington, Vermont, where they remain deeply committed to missionary work—especially in supporting rural churches in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Haiti. Through their combined efforts, they continue to uplift communities and share the message of God’s love.
