IMB missionary Ruby Ng knows firsthand the experience of being a refugee. As a child, the Vietnam War devastated her homeland, forcing her to flee at eighteen. She escaped by boat and spent two years in a refugee camp, where she was introduced to Jesus by missionaries who were also fleeing Vietnam.
Ruby left the camp as a new follower of Christ and relocated to Fort Worth, Texas, where she joined a church led by a young Vietnamese seminary student named Peter. Three years later, Ruby and Peter were married
Now, with over 25 years of service as IMB missionaries in Taiwan, the couple focuses on reaching Vietnamese immigrants, particularly women. Many of these women left Vietnam at a young age, seeking better opportunities, but often find themselves in difficult circumstances. The Ngs’ church plant has become a refuge for many of these women.
“I thank God for just being here,” Ruby shared. “We are grateful for His faithfulness and for all the Southern Baptists who give, pray, and support us. The journey isn’t always easy, but we are very thankful.” (Names changed for security.)
When our church gives through the Cooperative Program (CP), we support Peter and Ruby Ng and other IMB missionaries as they boldly take the gospel to the nations.
Pray for Peter and Ruby as they share the good news of Jesus with Vietnamese immigrants in Taiwan.
