Yesterday afternoon, as I was having lunch and talking with a colleague, my phone rang. I didn’t believe the name that appear; it’s from my pastor from Singapore. I was wondering what is this call about? Did he press wrongly? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
He asked me how am I doing and how is my wife and the girls? I said that we’re all good and healthy. Life is just normal which is good. Then he told me that he read my newsletter (I just sent it few hours earlier). And he comforted me the fact that I went through rough changes at workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then He told me the good news of the day, that the leadership has decided to support my ministry. He apologized that it took quite awhile. And he assured me of the church support. He closed with a prayer of blessing and love. It was the same words that my girl told me earlier that day, from Psalm 106:1 – “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, and His steadfast love endures forever.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed the Lord has been so gracious and kind towards us. Praise be to the Lord who keeps His promises and does not leave us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday afternoon, as I was having lunch and talking with a colleague, my phone rang.
