From a childhood friendship to a calling across the globe, Bill and Sue McDonald’s story is one of radical transformation and surrendered purpose. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Kimberly Faith sits down with Bill and Sue McDonald, a couple whose journey has taken them from a childhood friendship in New York to the in the U.S. Army—and ultimately to the mission fields of Vietnam. Bill, a former Army Ranger and veteran, shares how God used two near-death parachute accidents to get his undivided attention and call him into a life of radical obedience. Sue opens up about her own resistance to missions and how God gently led her heart to surrender.
Together, they’ve spent two decades teaching English in northern Vietnam, living out the Gospel through relationships, hospitality, and unwavering love. Whether they’re holding hands in public, hugging students who’ve never known affection, or hosting “Library Night” in their home, their ministry is proof that God can use everyday acts of faithfulness to change lives—and even shift culture. This is a front-row seat to the presence of God in Vietnam, and a testimony of what God can do when we simply say “yes.”
