1. THANK YOU is a beautiful saying,
…But it’s not enough. March 2012
I want to thank the Lord for his grace, intervention, and companionship each day. This year has stood out
as one of the most difficult in all my years of ministry, with pressures coming from all directions; but I have
seen God’s mercy towards me, giving me friends from all around the world. They have given me
encouragement in my most trying times through key messages that showed me that God has not
abandoned me, and he has used them to demonstrate his care for me.
Therefore, I would like to extend a SPECIAL THANK YOU to all of those who walked with me through this
desert. Thanks, as well, to those who gave offerings and donations to support the children and the
ministry. I can’t forget one episode en particular that touched my heart: I remember a lady who came to
our door with just a simple pound of rice when we needed it. This act showed me again that the art of
blessing isn’t in giving much, but in giving from the heart.
