MIMI'S LIFE TRANSFORMATION THROUGH SERVING
Peter's story of transformation
I am Peter de Fretes, and my journey of faith and transformation started in 2009 when I moved to Hanoi, Vietnam to teach English. I identified as a Christian, but my life revolved around worldly pursuits until 2013 when I began attending HIF’s Sunday services in My Dinh. A sermon deeply resonated with me, and I experienced a spiritual awakening, culminating in my baptism at HIF in 2014.
The year 2015 brought Minh Ha, my future wife, into my life. Despite her Catholic upbringing, she initially identified as a non-believer. However, her participation in the Alpha course gradually led her to accept Christ. We were both beginners in our faith journeys, but were blessed to receive mentorship from dedicated HIF members, Dan and Maggy Klein. With their guidance, we became actively involved in serving at Alpha and HIF’s Sunday services.
In 2017, we moved to Ecopark and, not finding an established church, we initiated a small Bible study group with Zeig & Pamela Dima. Over time, our group grew, drawing in more Christians and HIF members, and eventually became an official HIF location in 2020.
By the summer of 2021, I fully committed myself to serving the Lord, leaving my ESL career to work as HIF’s Youth Director for Aftershock, Alpha Director, and as a representative elder on the HIF Ecopark steering committee. I am also currently pursuing a master’s degree in Global Leadership at Western Seminary.
My journey, marked by transformation and service, has been incredible, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve God and His people. I warmly invite anyone seeking a faith-filled community to join us at HIF and embark on their own journey of spiritual growth and transformation. Together, we can serve in making Jesus known.
Serge found a community in christ
In this testimony, I share my deeply personal journey of trials and tribulations. I navigated a complex path, marked by my husband’s infidelity, sudden visa issues, my son’s depression, and my own emotional hardships. Initially, I sought guidance from counselors and acquaintances, but found the peace and solace I needed within my spirituality.
As I turned to the Bible, I discovered a comforting refuge and a source of strength. This revelation led me to the HIF community in Hanoi, Vietnam, where I found a sense of belonging and support. There, I immersed myself in faith, connecting with the Filipino community and finding solace in Pastor Jason’s sermons.
Despite facing intense spiritual struggles, I learned to lean on my faith, which provided me with the strength to overcome my trials. I am aware that I may face more challenges in the future, but I am steadfast in my belief that God’s strength can conquer any adversity.
In sharing my journey, I express my profound gratitude to my supportive community and ask for their continued prayers. My testimony is a testament to the powerful role faith and community have played in my life, and I hope it serves as a beacon of inspiration for others facing similar trials.
