Feeling isolated during the extended lockdown in Hanoi? Do you miss having in-depth conversations with friends? Would you like the opportunity to hang out with HIF pastors, ministry leaders, and other HIF’ers during the week? We, too, long to stay engaged and interact with our beloved HIF community while we are unable to gather.
Each week, a different volunteer ‘host’ will present a topic that interests them, and we’ll talk about it in an informal yet focused discussion.
Join us on Zoom for the following upcoming Conversations:
Where: HIF Zoom Channel
Meeting ID: 818 3340 2742
Passcode: 569905
Do you have something that you’d like to share? Topics can be anything: a passage of Scripture that has helped you recently, a new hobby, your favorite book, a unique trip or experience, or a facet of your native culture that we may not know about – the sky is the limit!
Email Sarah for more information, share a topic idea, or volunteer to be a conversation host in the coming weeks.
August 19 at 7PM – Overcoming Anxiety (Jacob Bloemberg)
“Do not be anxious about anything,” wrote Paul to the Philippians (4:6). Certainly he was writing out of personal experience, acknowledging that anxiety is a human condition, but also offering a way to overcome it. Anxious thoughts can be triggered by many things, and we’re all wired differently. In this conversation, Pastor Jacob will share 3 resources, 2 tools, and 1 story that can help you overcome anxiety. Sharing from his personal experience, he hopes to spark an honest conversation that will lead to greater freedom.
When: Thursday, August 19 from 7:00-8:00PM

August 21 at 2PM – Reading with God (Sarah Fitzsimmons)
“For some time, I’ve had the idea of a book club for spiritual discussion, growth, and mutual edification. I have come to know the Holy Spirit as an excellent recommender of reading material. Every book He has put into my hands has been timely, grounded in scripture, well-written, fascinating, and has drawn me closer to God than I could have imagined possible. I would like to share some of these books with you! We’ll talk about the ones that interest us most and why, and maybe even select one to read together in the fall.”
