  Deuteronomy 4:29"But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul." THE HISTORY OF MY FAMILY BACKGROUND I was born in Song Be (now known as Dong Nam Bo), Vietnam, and I lived there until I was seven years old. My family, my parents and my brother, lived in a mud hut, and we were extremely poor because of what the war did to all of us in Vietnam. My dad is a pure-bred honorable Vietnamese man, and my mother’s family line is a product of several generations of love-during-war stories. My dad was part of the Republic of Vietnam fighting against the Vietcong in the 1970s, and he was a studious young man because he feared of being admitted in a low position in the army or death. When my dad was in the prison before he met my mom, not through the reeducation camps, the prisoners and he would typically eat two meals a day. They would have rotten rice with salt and also taro with salt. They had no place t Tags: Untagged

    At first glance, the community dinner on Sundays at MacArthur Park looks like it may be an outreach or a feed-the-homeless program. I think to call it just that would not do justice for what it actually represents. It is about building family with the existing community[1], and restoring identity among those who feel insignificant[2]. Right now, it is still at the stage of community development and building stronger friendships ever since it started in 2009 with Pheakdey Ung and a few friends, and it continued with more of his friends and others that he will meet, including Nancy Muwanas, Juan Arias, Wilson Hutchinson, Darlene Tourn, and me. It is ultimately envisioned to be about family and empowering the ones that are deemed insignificant by society to encounter the love of God to effectively love one another. By four o’clock, majority of the team has come together to set up for dinner. The team is definitely not exclusive to the Christians but we are modeling Ch Tags: Untagged

  One of the questions that was brought up from Sandy Ovalle with Destino was, “What do you think unity looks like or means?” I’ve been meeting up with some of the leaders in the Long Beach region or those called to Long Beach to build relationships and to seek for the Kingdom of God in this land. I was hanging out with Sandy Ovalle and Ashley Donald yesterday to just hang out. (I have learned in past years that a hang out will cause people to openly talk much more deeply than dubbing something a leadership meeting.) They are staff leaders from Destino and from Asian American Christian Fellowship (AACF) at CSULB. Personally, I believe that the deepest unity comes from a place of the security that comes from God’s love and our capacity to love one another well[1]. It is not defined when people come to events together, promote each other’s events, or even hang out with each other every week. Those things are the fruits that come from the security in the love that one person receives Tags: unity movement, campus prayer

  I just recently thought to try to update on the happenings in my life at least once a week and also the adventure that I have been going on with God to encourage you… or rebuke others indirectly (LIS- “laughing in silence”). Everything has been very interesting and pressuring in different ways for me in the past year and a half. It has been the hardest year of my life walking with the Lord. I think I have had more deaths (of the flesh, ambitions, etc.) than ever, and I have personally stopped counting.  They were deaths to my desires to always see fruitfulness, deaths to certain hopes, and I personally don’t completely understand what other deaths there are either (LIS). I have had more weeping sessions than ever (some are random), but I am trying my best to hold onto the good things and meditate on whatever is pure and lovely. One time I asked God, “God, how do you it? (Continue to believe in the promises you have given to people and love them)?” It’s a very “DUH?!” question beca Tags: Untagged
