Thank You! Merry Christmas!

Dear Friends,

First of all, "Thank You" friends for prayers and your support as I serve God here in Japan.
Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!

Also, wanted to wish you all "Merry Christmas" and a 'Happy New Year' 2006. 2005 has been and will be an unforgettable year for many reasons. Early 2005, by God's grace, I passed my comprehensive exam for my doctoral degree (Th.D) and became a full-fledged candidate of Asia Baptist Graduate Theological Seminary, Baguio City, Philippines. ABGTS has a long, rich history of producing many classed doctoral graduates spread over Asia. 2005 will also be an unforgettable year because my dad went to be with the Lord. His legacy of honesty and integrity has been a foundation to my life- so with my mom who passed away 2 years ago.

Arriving back to Japan, it took some time for me to get back to square one. I spent the first month relating to my two boys (2 & 4 yrs old respectively). It is memorable because 2005 has been a year that took a whole lot of challenge to be THE father to my boys and THE husband to my wife. Am learning a lot and I look towards another year or many years to come as I strife to be the person God has meant me to be.

2005 will also be memorable because this year's 'dream-come-true' was the release of my first worship CD album called "Redeemer". A prayer answered through Dave Kwok, a chinese brother from Hong Kong. The CD is a testimony of what God means to me and what His life has meant to me through my faith journey. To this end I will continue to praise and glorify Christ, my Redeemer, My Lord and King.

Last but not the least, friends makes years unforgettable. Thank you for your prayers and support. Thank you for buying the CD "Redeemer." May it bring blessings to your heart as you listen to the songs. Again, without you all life would be a little less than exciting-it wouldn't be fun at all.

So...here I am again, wishing you all a season to give thanks to God for giving us His son Jesus Christ without whom we aren't who we are.

Merry Christmas!
