Hi friends and family near and far, Kim Anh and I hope you are all having a good start to 2023. We can't believe April is already here! We want to begin by thanking everyone who has donated to our ministry this year, we sincerely appreciate your generosity. As we begin making travel plans going into the spring and summer, here are the top 10 things we've contributed to --
1) $200.00 for fire relief in Vietnam was donated to a family that lost their home around Christmas, 2022. Kim Anh and I sent funds from the Philippines to help this family that was in need (family pictured below).
2) We wired $200.00, while we were in the Philippines, to a Baptist Church in An Khê, Vietnam, for the purpose of providing food relief to the poorest congregants in that fellowship (boxes pictured below).
3) On March 15, 2023, Daybreak sent $2,400.00 for fuel expense for the seminary students at the Bible School in Saigon, Vietnam (students pictured below).
4) We sent $100.00 for Pastor Phuc’s son to go to University in Saigon, Vietnam in January, 2023 (no picture available).
5) $100.00 was sent to Pastor Hung and Missionary Thao for the purpose of reaching an unreached people group with the gospel in Cam Ranh, Vietnam in January, 2023 (no picture available).
6) On February 16, 2023, we sent $150.00 to “Faith Island Mission Inc.” for the purpose of purchasing land in the mountains of Negros, Philippines to build a church (land pictured below).
7) On March 12, 2023, Daybreak sent $1,500.00 for the well project for the Bana people in Vietnam (pictures, receipt, and thank you letter are forthcoming).
8) On March 20, 2023, we sent a $1,000.00 to “Strength In The Valley Foundation” in Panabo City, Mindanao, Philippines for the purpose of flood relief in Carmen, Mindanao and fire relief in Davao, Mindanao (pictures, receipt, and thank you letter forthcoming).
9) On March 24, 2023, Daybreak sent $100.00 to “Faith Island Mission Inc.” for the purpose of funding two separate Youth Camps on the island of Negros, Philippines (three pictures featured below).
10) On March 30, 2023, funds were sent to “Jerusalem Children’s Home” for the repair of underground pipes to their water system (pictures forthcoming).
In addition to these efforts, Kim Anh and myself have led 9 people in the sinner’s prayer in Vermont and Massachusetts, since the beginning of 2023. Also --
- 100 people have made spiritual decisions in Haiti, since the beginning of 2023.
- 1,000 people have made spiritual decisions in the Philippines, since the beginning of 2023.
And dozens have given their lives to the Lord, for the very first time, in Vietnam, after pastors invited people from their own communities to join them in Saigon for a Franklin Graham Crusade on March 4th and 5th.
In love and respect,
Rev. Lance & Kim Anh
