Scouting The Haven: A Biker Chaplain’s Mission in Vietnam (Part 2)

Riding pillion down the historic South Central Coast of Vietnam. In Episode 2 of the "Bless the Nation" tour, we pull out of Quy Nhon and scout the heavy, rugged coastal highway down to Bai Xep (The Haven). But as an ordained Christian Chaplain, I’m not here as a tourist. I am a forward scout. I am mapping out the spiritual landscape, checking the entry gateways, and laying down a foundation of prayer before I bring a full pack of missionary riders through here on future tours. To understand the weight of this soil, we look back at the rare 1962 archival footage of Camp Goldberg—an active US Army logistical hub in Quy Nhon during the Vietnam War. Binh Dinh province was a fiercely contested zone where heavy blood was spilled, leaving invisible scars of generational trauma on the land and the people. Together, we stand in the gap to reclaim this coast as a gateway of peace, life, and reconciliation. If you feel called to ride these roads with the pack on future deployments, join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/blessthenation join us in prayer, and drop a comment below.
