AMY NGUYEN'S STORY
| |
Natives of Viet Nam, Amy and her family attempted their two escapes as the Communist North Vietnamese took over their South Vietnam homeland in 1975.
"I tried twice to escape my country and consequently spent three months in jail." Very few of us could include that statement in our things-I-did-my-junior-year-in-high-school list. Amy Nguyen can, though.
Natives of Viet Nam, Amy and her family attempted their two escapes as the Communist North Vietnamese took over their South Vietnam homeland in 1975. They remained there, under Communist control, for ten more years. Though their country retreated into difficult cultural conditions (Amy's family had no car or phone and cooked by charcoal, with limited access to electricity), it was still home. Thus, when she and her family immigrated to San Diego, CA, Amy's emotions were more about homesickness and sadness than excitement about a new life and culture.

DON'T LET IT FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS

In the last few days and weeks I have been privileged to work with a number of churches who have found out some very disturbing news.
The first church found out that they were no longer considered an incorporated church by the state and had not been incorporated since the late 1980's. Another church found out that they owed property taxes dating back a number of years. Still another church had almost lost their non-profit status. I would like to encourage you to remember that there are a few items we need to take care of each year. Click Here for More Information
