October Mission Highlights: Preparing for a New Season of Faith

As we step into November, our hearts are full of gratitude for all that God has done this past October. Each moment was a reminder of His faithfulness, how He continues to open doors, connect hearts, and prepare the way for the next season of ministry.

A Weekend of Fellowship at Singing Hills Christian Camp

Earlier in the month, we had the honor of attending the annual North East Vietnamese Alliance Church retreat at Singing Hills Christian Camp in New Hampshire. Surrounded by friends—both old and new—we were able to share about the mission work God continues to do through Encouraging Word International. It was a time filled with worship, encouragement, and heartfelt fellowship. We left feeling deeply strengthened by the support and unity within the body of Christ.

Grateful Farewells to Church Families in Vermont

October also marked our final services with United Christian Society in Belvidere, Lowell Bible Church in Lowell, and Daybreak Community Church in Colchester. Each of these churches has been a meaningful part of our journey, giving us the opportunity to share how God is moving in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Haiti. We’ve been deeply encouraged by the prayers, kind words, and generosity poured out by each congregation. It’s truly humbling to see how God brings His people together across different places to fulfill one mission—sharing the Gospel from one side of the world to the other.

A Night of Testimony and Worship at the University of Vermont

On October 28th, Kim Anh was invited to share her testimony at The Vine, a student campus ministry at the University of Vermont led by Shaun and Monica Stotyn from Daybreak Community Church. It was an evening of worship, stories, and meaningful connection. Seeing students from all walks of life gathered to grow in faith reminded us that the next generation of believers is rising up—eager to serve, love, and live boldly for Christ.

A Season of Transition and Trust

We also reached a big milestone last month—we closed on our home and officially moved out. For now, we’re staying in South Burlington, cherishing time with family and friends before we leave for Southeast Asia on November 18th. There’s a mix of emotions: gratitude, anticipation, and peace knowing that God has been guiding this transition from the start.

As we prepare to begin long-term missions in the Philippines and Vietnam, our hearts are filled with both excitement and humility. We know this next season will stretch us, but we also trust that it will draw us closer to God’s heart and the people He’s called us to serve.

Looking Ahead

We’re so thankful for every person who has prayed, encouraged, and supported us through this season of preparation. None of this would be possible without you! As we begin this new chapter serving full-time in the Philippines and Vietnam, our prayer is to be a reflection of God’s love wherever He leads us—to bring hope, equip local leaders, and share the Good News through both word and action.

If you feel led to continue walking alongside us through prayer or giving, we invite you to visit our support page. Your partnership helps make this mission possible and reminds us that we’re never serving alone.
