This is a story of redemption, resilience, and restoration that begins with tragedy. Katie was born amidst the turmoil of the communist movement and the Vietnam War. At just five months old, she lost her mother and nearly all her family members during the conflict, with only five siblings surviving. Raised by her sister in America, Katie faced the challenges of growing up without her parents. The journey from the East to the West was fraught with trials that left both emotional and physical scars; scars that could only be healed through love and acceptance. God was in her journey from the East to the West. Though this testament begins with tragedy, it ultimately leads to redemption, as God's providence is woven through Katie's circumstances for His glory. Even in our most challenging moments, God is at work. He provides, He redeems, and He crafts our stories in ways that far exceed our own plans. Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death."
