Acknowledgments

Grandmother,
I want to express my sincere gratitude to my grandmother
Nhu Pham for her loving support and guidance, which has shaped
me into a faithful servant of God. Her biblical teachings and stories
instilled the fundamental principles of the Gospel in me at a young
age. Although I regret not finishing the BFG Handbook before her
passing, I take solace in knowing she is watching over me with a
smile. Dear grandmother, I cherish the silver and gold keys you
gave me many years ago, which I will keep close to my heart and
use them for the Kingdom of God. Your love has left a lasting
imprint on my life, and I will forever be grateful for all you have done
for me.

Bishop Kevin W. Vann,
After fifteen years, I recognize the guiding hand of Divine
Mercy, bringing me to this momentous occasion. It is with my
deepest appreciation and love to Bishop Kevin W. Vann, who found
it in his heart to adopt me as his Spiritual Son in Vietnam. God
opened his heart to hear the Promise He instilled in me for the New
Evangelization. It is this overwhelming Love of God that I saw in
him that made my reality bigger than what I envisioned. This is the
miracle of God at work, deepening my understanding for God and
his grand design for humankind. I am truly humbled and endlessly
grateful for his genuine love and care as my Spiritual Father. Thank
you for promising me you will never leave me.
