My name is Tao Duy Nguyen. I’m currently serving as pastor at Peace in Jesus Vietnamese Lutheran Church in Boise, Idaho. I’d like to share my story and that of my parents—how the Lord changed me to become a believer and a servant at Peace in Jesus Vietnamese and how he also changed my parents’ hearts to become his believers. God answered my prayers. Glory be to God!
