Letter to my supporters

Dear all,

I just thought it was due for me to write to all of you. It has been 2 years since i started undertaking this command and i wanted to thank all of you for ALL your prayers, encouragement, financial support and friendships through this time. They have indeed been a huge blessing to me and this ministry and have helped me tremendously in times when i was doubting myself and when it was trying. I have no doubt whatsoever, that you are the precious gifts that God has so blessed me with in my life and i think i should say this because often, in our culture, it is not said enough.

When i look back at what i was 2 years ago, i know that i have changed dramatically. Knowing myself, I know that if i had not have went, that these changes in me would have taken much longer to happen. Through these 2 years, albeit not a very long time, God has seen many things happen in the life of my family and me. Mama's passing being the most recent, has made me realise more intently the meaning of my family. My "problems" with the VISA the entire time i was in Japan, has also led me to see that God not necessarily works the way we expect Him to..BUT He always will provide a way for us to do what He tells us to do when we are willing to do it. The countless number of japanese youths, friends and also the international community of instructors that i've met there, i know deep inside that these are future plans that God has for me..little seeds that He is planting now. I am so amazed and still am amazed at how He works, how He always uses all that we are and all that we have come to become for certain moments in His time....and then in the future uses that as well...to show us who He is, His power, His love for us, His mercy and all that He is for the Building of His Kingdom.

At the end of my term in Japan, i look back and i see that He has already given me the most important thing where mission work is concerned and that is a Heart for the people. A heart for people at home which i love dearly, for my friends and finally, for the people in Japan. Even though i have decided to stay in singapore, i realise that i will always have a heart for Japan and its people as well, and somehow, i know that in the future, i will be constantly involved with them.

Once again, let me just say Thank you that God has given you a heart for me and what i do.

By His Grace,
