As we step into the second quarter of 2025, we're reflecting on all that God has already done this year through Encouraging Word International, and we're excited to share a few more recent updates from this April.
Hope for a Pastor's Wife in Haiti
We're incredibly grateful to report that the full $3,500 needed to fund surgery for a pastor's wife in Haiti has been raised. She has been suffering from a large cancerous tumor on her face, and thanks to your generosity, she will be undergoing surgery on Wednesday, April 30th. Please continue to lift her and her family up in prayer as she prepares for this life-changing operation.
Empowering Future Leaders in Vietnam
In Vietnam, we recently raised $2,500 to help cover transportation costs for 50 minority seminary students in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). These students travel from remote villages to attend Baptist Seminary, and this funding will help them afford the gas needed to continue their journey of theological education and Gospel training. We believe deeply in investing in future leaders who will share God’s word in their communities.

A Strong Start to 2025
These updates build on an already encouraging start to the year. From funding church additions and seminary tuition to providing clothing, power, and now surgery—each gift continues to bless those we serve in Haiti, Vietnam, and beyond.
