For nearly three decades, Reverend Lance Curtis Cross has been fully committed to global missionary work. He's been on the ground in various places, from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to Mexico, Japan, Haiti, the Philippines, and Vietnam, consistently advancing the cause of God's kingdom.
In 2018, Reverend Lance attained a milestone with the completion of his Master of Theology. Soon thereafter, he assumed the role of Vice-President at Mountains to Mountains Ministries, a faith-based mission organization deeply committed to supporting rural churches and communities such as Jerusalem Children's Home in Bombardopolis, Haiti.
Kim Anh Dinh and her family made their way to Vermont in the early '90s, leaving a refugee camp in the Philippines in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Before crossing paths with Reverend Lance, Kim Anh dedicated almost three decades to the Vietnamese North Avenue Alliance Church in Burlington, Vermont, wearing multiple hats as a Sunday School Teacher, Secretary, and leading praise with the worship team. Fast forward to September 2020, they officially tied the knot and are now actively serve at Daybreak Community Church, a Baptist Fellowship in Colchester, Vermont, as Encouraging Word International.
In December 2020, Reverend Lance received ordination "for the practice of Gospel Ministry" from Daybreak Community Church. Living in Burlington, Vermont, Reverend Lance and his wife, Kim Anh, embody a steadfast dedication to missionary work, with a special focus on supporting rural churches in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Haiti. Through their combined efforts, they demonstrate a deep commitment to uplifting communities and spreading the values that are close to their hearts.
