Mai Spencer, a poor Buddhist girl born and raised in Vietnam, experienced war in her homeland and witnessed the havoc it wreaked on her family and country, and nearly lost her life after being exposed to Agent Orange. In spite of all the heartache, there was a bright spot in the Vietnam War—she fell in love with an American soldier.
After they married and moved to America, Mai found a sense of security in her new husband and life but just when Mai thought her broken heart was beginning to mend, another series of tragedies hit and left Mai with grieving soul and a deep longing. In desperation, she turned from the false god of her childhood and cried out to Jesus. A miraculous transformation took place—Mai became a woman of destiny, called to return to Vietnam and build a church.
An amazing testimony of tragedy and loss, forgiveness and triumph—this story speaks to broken-hearted and brings hope to the hopeless.

In obedience to the many Scriptural commands to help the poor they are enabling families to survive in difficult circumstances. When shown mercy these families are very receptive to the Gospel. The Spencer’s also focus on children, who are the future church of Jesus Christ in Vietnam.
