Additionally, Keith learned that his family lineage includes
three martyrs who had sacrificed their lives for their faith. This
revelation reinforced the spiritual legacy that Keith is now part of
and highlighted the deep connection between his family's past and
his current mission.

Keith's return to Vietnam has been a powerful affirmation
of God’s eternal presence and the promise made to him. This
journey has significantly deepened his understanding of his mission
to restore the truth and has strengthened his commitment to his
divine purpose. As reflected in John 15:16, “You did not choose me
but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that
will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my
name.” This verse encapsulates the divine calling that Keith feels
and the spiritual journey that has come full circle with his return to
his ancestral land.

A remarkable aspect of God's plan is how He orchestrates
the timing of individuals' paths to perfectly align with His divine
purpose. In 2022, Fr. Bao was appointed by Bishop Vann as the
rector of Christ Cathedral in Orange County. Fr. Bao’s Spiritual
Uncle, Fr. John Tran, whom Keith met at Benediction in 2008,
played a significant role in his journey. Fr. John was the priest who
responded to Keith's prayer by joining him in a public speaking
organization, fulfilling Keith's specific request for a priest to
accompany him on this journey. Fr. John confirmed and
strengthened Keith's calling to share the gospel publicly as a
spiritual speaker.
