            pastoral center would be completed at the beginning of 2025. He
            wanted his father to know that he had not only fulfilled his mission
            as an exceptional father but also served as a powerful witness to
            God’s love, which now flowed throughout the land, carrying forward
            the family’s legacy. Although Keith’s father could not continue his
            own father’s work for thousands of people due to the family’s
            immigration to the U.S. in 1975, he made a significant impact by
            helping one person—his son, Keith. If his father were alive today,
            Keith believes he would have found the peace he had been seeking
            rather than the fear of God’s judgment that weighed heavily on him
            at the end of his life.

                   By God’s grace, Keith prays for the unity of all faiths
            worldwide to ignite the New Evangelization, a vision set forth by St.
            John Paul II. Keith is hopeful that the BFG movement will serve as
            a guiding light for the New Evangelization, paving the way to
            restore the truth to all nations. He believes that by 2033, the Word
            of God will reach all people in every nation, marking 500 years
            since the missionary I-nê-khu began his evangelization efforts in
            Nam Định, northern Vietnam, the very region where Keith’s great-
            grandfather built Phuong Duc Church.

                   On February 3, 2025, Bishop Kevin Vann, Keith, and
            Father Bao Thai returned to Vietnam to commemorate the
            dedication of the new parish center adjacent to Phuong Duc
