                   In the face of rising darkness, the BFG Handbook offers a
            necessary weapon: the truth. As Jesus said in John 8:32, "…the
            truth will set you free." By coming together under God’s guidance,
            we can ignite the BFG movement and fulfill our call to holiness. In
            His goodness, we find our greatness and work towards restoring
            truth and establishing true justice for all.

            2022: St. Thérèse’s Intercession and Vietnam’s Holy Ground:
            Keith’s Mission and Five Signs Connecting to Bishop Vann’s
            Coat of Arms for the New Evangelization

                   In January 2022, Keith faced a terrifying situation when his
            kayak capsized off the coast of Newport Beach. Although he was
            wearing a life jacket, it was inadequately sized and not properly

            distress and quickly maneuvered his sailboard through the water.
            Covering approximately 150 meters, Archbishop Lavoie managed
            to reach Keith and assist him back to shore safely.

                   Later that same afternoon, around three o'clock, Keith and
            Archbishop Lavoie were walking along the beach when they drew
            the attention of a middle-aged woman standing on the balcony of
            her beachfront home on the second floor. The woman called out to
            them, claiming she had seen a bright light surrounding Keith from a
            distance of nearly half a mile. Given the clear and sunny weather,
            this observation was particularly striking. Both Keith and
            Archbishop Lavoie were intrigued by this unusual claim. Keith,
            however, felt a deep sense of reassurance, interpreting the light as
