This story comes from our very own Ashley, known by many of you as our Events Coordinator. She just caught up with a mission team from Wheeling, WV in Viet Nam.

Their first stop: Nha Trang, to give away 100 chairs:

“This is my first actual distribution! I am so stoked!” wrote Ashley. “Being on the other side of the world is showing me many things but one seems more basic than any other: Life is in the small moments. There are the huge moments in life - graduation, birth of a child - but it is the mosaic of all the small moments, going to the park or tending a vegetable garden, that truly make up our lives.

"Van Hoa is 33 years old. He came to the distribution by himself on the back of a motorbike taxi. His family lives far away and was not able to come with him. He said that he is very happy to get a wheelchair. I was able to share with him that this wheelchair is a gift from God. Please pray for Van Hoa, that he will truly know that God loves him.

"This gentleman lost his leg from a bomb during the war. He told me that this wheelchair is the first gift he has received in 30 years. He loves to work in his garden and makes his living selling its vegetables. Now, he said he will have a much easier time tending his garden and will sell more vegetables. 

"The work of FWM allows people to experience all the small moments."
