my tribute to the brothers
Dearest Eugene
I can’t express in words how much I thank God for you and our friendship. You’ve been a great blessing to me and this paper won’t allow the space I need to recount how you’ve been a friend to me in practical ways! Someone called you my favourite friend, and come to think of it, I totally agree with her! Thank you for being such a genuine friend and person ☺ I thank God for your compassion, flexibility, forgiving spirit, humility, patience, sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others, your generosity and…YOU! haha…you’ll always be one friend I cherish!
Dearest Kevin,
I thank you for giving me the opportunity to know you better through working with you. You’ve been a great encouragement through your sharing at prayer meetings, and most recently, through your courage and willingness to be a vessel for Him in Kenya! I thank God for your compassion, courtesy, efficiency and diligence!
Hi Alex
I thank God for your love and compassion for the lost. Psalm 126:6 ☺
Dearest Keith
It’s always so encouraging to hear you share at prayer meetings, how the Lord’s been so good to you ☺ I thank God for your love and compassion for the lost, and for your humility, respectfulness and sincerity!
Dearest Youren!
I thank you so much for being such a wonderful and patient (with me) friend all these years, despite my many shortcomings! I thank you for always being so willing and ready to help – you’re just a phonecall or sms away ☺ I thank God for your courtesy, respectfulness towards those around you, your humility, creativity and generosity!
Dear Daniel
It’s been a joy watching you grow as a leader all these years and I’m very encouraged by your zeal in serving the Lord. I thank God for your love for the youths in YF – even staying back another year to guide and be an example to them! I thank God for your patience, fair-mindedness, sincerity and generosity!
Dearest Justin
It’s encouraging to me, to see you faithfully coming for YF each week. It really isn’t easy to travel from one end of the island to another, I’m sure. But press on, dear Justin, it will be worth it all, when we see Jesus! I thank God for your diligence, sincerity and a spirit of peace!
Dearest Josiah
I thought for a really long time and concluded that words aren’t enough to express how much your friendship means to me. So I’ll simply thank you for being such a wonderful friend all these years! I thank God for your humility, diligence and compassion, and most of all, your willingness to surrender your all to Him Whom you constantly seek to love, honour and obey! Thank you for your God-fearing example! I’m truly encouraged ☺
Dearest Shaun
Thank you for being such a great brother-in-Christ! I thank God for your enthusiasm in serving Him, loyalty to friends and family, and for being sensitive to the needs/ feelings of those around you!
Hey Nelson
You’ve been an example and encouragement to me through your willingness to do the Lord’s work and how you place Him as TOP priority ☺ I thank God for your enthusiasm, confidence and decisiveness in all that you do!
Hey David!
I thank God for your courage and willingness to serve the Lord on the mission fields, for your compassion towards God’s people and a persistent and purposeful spirit!
Dearest Darrell
It seems everyone has left a really huge space for me to show you my appreciation. I thank you for being such a wonderful brother and friend to me. In fact, I suspect you might be God’s greatest gift to me (other than Jesus; you’re after Him, of cos). You might not know it, but it’s been a joy watching you grow physically and emotionally, but most of all, spiritually. It’s encouraging to see you grow in dependence on the Lord and how you share the Lord’s goodness to you. I always love it during the times you walk into my room or where I am to have a chat with me. I thank God for the many strengths I see in you – analytical, confidence, courage, decisiveness, efficiency, frankness, but most of all, your loyalty, compassion, sincerity and generosity! Darrell Van, you’re MORE than just “the world to me”. You’re the best brother anyone in the world can ever have…I LOVE YOU!
