| | | | | | Blessed Christmas to all my faithful and beloved supporters
This year has been a year of new challenges caring for my dad who requires intensive care and Kenny's parents who are both very ill, which took the toll on me and I had to be hospitalised for a severe virus infection. Praise God, with His Divine help, I am back on my feet again. God is constantly molding me and He has opened new ways to stretch me.
I have been more involved out on the streets doing door-to-door outreach in London with diverse nationalities and finding it to be a great place to be His witness. My travels and experiences visiting various countries is a springboard for engaging in a conversation. Giving a listening ear; hearing the hurting moves me to become more God-conscious and having His grace to minister in ways bringing positive result causes my heart to be grateful that I have someone mighty and great looking after all of us despite who we are and our circumstances. I am also involved in Hospital Visitation and Prayer for the sick, as part of the ongoing ministry alongside the local church. It is a joy to see their hopelessness turned to being hopeful, knowing that there is a Greater Power who is able to do more than we can imagine. Encouraging them and standing with them in their hour of need and praying is a great privilege.
My involvement with BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) has given me opportunities to do Public Relations for OM as many are not aware of what OM does. Recently, as you may have heard or seen in the media of the massive influx of migrants reaching our shores, have caused the government to take stringent action. Unfortunately, this has affected Christian organisations and missionaries having to leave UK. Thank God for Kenny's foresight to get us, as a family, a PR status. With OM UK, our recruiting license have been revoked, which will impact our short-term mission ventures. Please pray for wisdom for our leaders and new visions from our Lord who knows what is best.
This November the 17th is Kenny's home-going anniversary. 3 years have passed, He is absent in body but present in spirit. Although, he is not here with me, I can still recall his laughter and fond memories of him are embedded in my mind. I have come to realise how much Kenny has sheltered us, his family. I have taken over all of Kenny's email and communications. Unbeknownst to me, Kenny had to deal with many cons and the wolves in sheep's clothing too. I received frightening and hurtful phone calls which has led me to be fearful and caused me to withdraw. Praise God not any longer. God has strengthened me and I am now wiser in handling them. With Kenny's Memorial Fund set up by George Verwer, I have dispersed the funds according to Kenny's passion to extend God's Kingdom in providing for the pastors and the needy in all the places that Kenny have been ministering to, especially the Philippines. Pray for the 25th Anniversary of OM Philippines this November.
Finally, God has blessed me with a wonderful daughter and son-in-law and, of course, not to mention my darling grand-daughter. Debbie sends me videos of Shiphrah. She amuses me. I love my family who are all in God's good care.
Journeying with the Lord is always challenging and His comfort is always refreshing. I want to thank all my friends around the globe for your love and care in words and in practical ways. Though we are far apart, yet we are able to keep in touch and uphold each other in prayer.
Once Again a Blessed Christmas and A Blessed New Year.
In His Service,
