July 2026 VCC Missions Update
| To the Ends of the Earth Seven years after receiving a special gift from the Victory family to celebrate 40 years of ministry, Pastors George and Hazel Hill were finally able to embark on an unforgettable around-the-world journey. Travelling by sea over four months, they visited approximately 27 nations, including many countries where Victory Churches International has established ministries. More than a vacation, this became a missions assignment as they connected with pastors, leaders, and believers across the globe to strengthen, encourage, and inspire them in their faith. Inspired by Acts 14:21–22, where the Apostle Paul travelled to strengthen the churches, Pastors George & Hazel used every opportunity to minister wherever they stopped. From leadership meetings in Hawaii, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Kenya, South Africa, Spain, and the United Kingdom, they shared vision, prayed with leaders, encouraged disciples, and witnessed firsthand how God is moving through Victory churches around the world. They were reminded that although each nation has unique challenges, the Gospel continues to transform lives, even in places where Christianity is a minority faith. One of the greatest highlights of the journey was seeing the passion and faithfulness of believers in every nation. Whether praying with pastors aboard the ship, joining street evangelism in New Zealand, celebrating with leaders in Kenya, or sharing the Gospel with Maasai warriors in Africa, the Hills witnessed a common desire to reach people for Christ. Their report is a powerful reminder that Victory's global family is thriving because of dedicated leaders who faithfully serve their communities and boldly proclaim Jesus. The Hills put forward this heartfelt challenge for every believer: Continue praying for the nations! Especially those where the Gospel faces significant opposition, and never lose sight of God's call to reach the world. As has often been said, "What will you find when you get to the ends of the earth? A Victory Church!" Through your prayers, generosity, and partnership, lives are being changed across the globe. Let's celebrate what God is doing through our worldwide Victory family. |

Care (Zacharias) Phonpiyarat - Our Local Full Time Missionary
A LETTER FROM CARE:
Dear family and friends,
This month has been full- not because of big events or large ministry programs, but because of intentional time spent building people.
Sometimes we think we have to wait for obvious ministry opportunities before we can mentor or disciple someone. We wait for Bible School to begin, for outreach season to start, or for a ministry position to open. But this summer, God has been teaching both Phot and me that it only takes a shift in perspective.
Instead of asking, “When is ministry going to start?” we’ve started asking, “Who has God already placed around us?”
Bible School has finished for the season, and our 7 Weeks in Asia outreach begins this week. During this in-between season, it would have been easy to think there wasn’t much ministry to do. But God reminded us that ministry never stops. Every week, there are friends, family members, young adults at church, and people already in our lives who are watching how we live and are hungry to know Jesus more.
This summer, Phot and I committed to helping lead the young adults at our church. What started with just four young adults has now grown to around twenty. More importantly, we’ve seen God moving in their hearts.
One of the greatest privileges has been helping these young adults learn to hear God’s voice for themselves. Watching them grow in confidence, ask deeper questions, and step out in faith has reminded us that what we’re doing here is so much bigger than one ministry season.
We’re not simply leading a young adults group- we’re investing in generations.
If these young adults encounter Jesus, build their lives on His Word, and one day raise families that love and follow Him, the impact reaches far beyond what we can see today. Every conversation, every Bible study, every prayer, and every moment spent encouraging them has the potential to echo into future generations.
This season has reminded us that influence isn’t about having a microphone, a title, or a platform. It’s about faithfully loving the people God has already placed in front of you. Ministry isn’t reserved for pastors or missionaries. Every believer has been entrusted with people to love, encourage, disciple, and point to Jesus.
We want to encourage you with that today.
Don’t underestimate what’s already in your hands. Ask yourself, “Who has God placed around me?”Whether it’s your family, coworkers, neighbors, classmates, or friends, God has uniquely positioned you to reflect Christ in ways that no one else can.
Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Keep sowing. Keep loving. Keep serving. You may never fully see the fruit this side of heaven, but every act of obedience matters. When we faithfully invest in people, we’re not just changing moments- we’re shaping generations. The Kingdom of God advances one life at a time, and every person who encounters Jesus has the potential to influence countless others after them.
Thank you for praying, encouraging, and partnering with us. Your support isn’t simply helping missionaries in Thailand- it is helping us invest in people who will one day impact their own families, churches, communities, and generations to come. We are so grateful that you are part of this story with us, and we’re excited to see all that God will continue to do in the months ahead.
With love and gratitude,
Phot & Care❤️
