Empowering individuals to come together and support one another is the cornerstone of helping a community thrive

Buon U1 Village Church Members

Dear Church Members,

May I have a few minutes of your time? I represent the Across the Sea Foundation, Inc. and I would like to share with you a heartwarming story about the incredible people of Buon U1 village, Vietnam.

For nearly a century, the tight-knit community of Buon U1 has come together, driven by their unwavering faith in Christianity. Their dream? To obtain permission from their local government to build a church. With more than 2,500 devoted churchgoers in the village, the need for a proper place of worship is dire. Currently, they gather in the humble home of their pastor, which has limited seating and roofing, leaving them exposed to the elements.

Year after year, these resilient individuals continue to hold onto their hope that one day, they will be blessed with a safe, welcoming space to hear the divine words of the Lord and come together in worship.

As the Across the Sea Foundation, we have been fortunate to offer some support to the community, but we need your help to make their dream a reality. We have set a goal to raise $50,000, which will enable us to help these children of God create a sanctuary where they can gather in unity and find solace in the teachings of the Lord.

Would you be willing to lend a hand and contribute to this noble cause today? Your generosity can make an immeasurable difference in the lives of these devoted souls who have held onto their faith against all odds.

We are profoundly grateful for your time and consideration. Your support will not only help build a church but also nurture the spirit of this remarkable community. Together, we can be a beacon of hope in Buon U1 village, Vietnam.

Please, come and learn about who we are and the positive impact of our work!

Thank you, and may you have a wonderful and blessed day.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rich Manning Enuol
