VIETNAM REFUGEES

​​In 1990, my family members were refugees after the Vietnam War and were part of the U.S. Orderly Departure Program (ODP). Gratefully, my father’s older brother, who was already living in the U.S., helped us with all the paperwork and signed to take responsibility for our immigration and transition to the United States. He was a handsome, well-to-do engineer. If it weren’t for my uncle, my family wouldn’t have been able to come to America.
 
This uncle was in the process of doing the extensive paperwork for our family and had to travel to Vietnam. Sadly, before the paperwork was finalized, his wife who was in the States took his multiple businesses and house assets and then divorced him. As if that wasn’t enough, my uncle later had the same experience happen in succession with two more wives. It was easy for him to find beautiful women to marry due to his good looks. But then they ended up taking everything of his and divorcing him. This tragic pattern deeply affected my uncle mentally and he went missing for many years.

Year-End Report: Cambodia Orphans (2017)

10/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Agape Fish Fund partners with Southeast Asian Prayer Center (SEAPC) to provide orphans in Cambodia with a Christian home. 

Four Children Sponsored

This year we sponsored 4 Cambodian children: Soklang (boy, 6); Sopheak (boy, 14); Sinet (girl, 11); Sopheary (boy, 11). Our sponsorship provides a safe Christian home for the children where they can learn about Jesus, have nourishing food, receive a good education, and have loving house parents.

Meet Soklang

This year we sponsored a Cambodian orphan named Soklang Vun.  This 6-year-old boy lives in the Kampong Cham children's home.

Soklang is an only child, and his parents got divorced in 2015. His father remarried another lady, and he later died in a car accident.

​Soklang's mother took him to live with his grandmother, and then one day she left without warning. Soklang's mother never visited or gave money for Soklang and his grandmother to even have food. Soklang and his grandmother lived in a difficult situation. The local Committee of Women and Children realized the situation Soklang was in and helped him transition to the children's home in January 2016.

Soklang thanks God he can be at this orphanage
Since coming to the children's home, Soklang has enjoyed playing with the other children, going to school, and learning about God. Thanks to our support, Soklang has a safe place to live where he can receive Christian love from caring house parents.

Letter from Mr. Binh

This letter was written by one of the inmates, Mr. Hà Huy Bình, who became a hearty convert, thanks to our prison ministry. Mr. Bình actively participates in the Scripture memorization contest. Sister Diep is one of the prison ministry co-workers.
​"I receive every day as joy, as grace from God in heaven." 

September 25, 2017

Dear Sister Diep,

Actually, I do not know what to say now, except to thank you sincerely for all that you have given us. You have provided emotional support and encouragement, which are the main motivations for me and my brothers to find ourselves and the path that has been leading us to God. Thank God for giving us a very serious sister who cares for us.

You know, once upon a time I was very depressed, wanting to give up everything. But you have been a bridge to bring me to a new life. You brought me to God, who loves us so much. I remember your heart and all that you have done for me.

Now my thoughts have changed a lot. I have also found joy and smiles in the present life. All of this is the grace that God gives. Once again, I thank you sincerely.

In closing, I wish you for you to always have good health, to always have a smile on your lips, and to find a lot of fun in life. Try to stay healthy. God will always be with you, bless you, and keep you.

The younger brother who had lost his way,
Huy Binh
