HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO OUR BELOVED MISSIONARY, ELDER JOSEPH LEE! ๐ค
To a father, not just to one, but to many in this congregation, thank you for your faith, your sacrifices, and for being willing to let go of what you had in your home country just to be used by God here in the Philippines.
We know that it has not always been easy. There have been challenges, moments of doubt, anxious thoughts, and days when you probably wondered what tomorrow would bring. But through it all, you continued to trust God and put your faith in our Good Lord. And through your life, we have seen just how faithful and good our God truly is.
Thank you for being more than just a missionary to us. Thank you for being a father, a teacher, a shepherd, a brother, and someone we can look up to. Thank you for the times you encouraged us, corrected us, and prayed for us
Your life is a testimony that following God does not mean having all the answers. Sometimes, it simply means taking the next step because you know Who is leading you.
And Elder, when there are moments when you feel alone, when you become anxious about tomorrow, or when you begin to question whether you are doing enough, we pray that you will always remember your First Love.
Remember the One who called you. Remember the One who has carried you this far. Remember that you are seen by Him, valued by Him, and enough for Him.
You are deeply loved, Elder. You are appreciated more than you probably realize, and your life has touched more people than you may ever know. We are truly thankful for your life, your heart for the ministry, your sacrifices, and most of all, for your willingness to be used by God.
May this new year of your life be filled with renewed strength, deeper joy, and a greater assurance of God's presence. May the Lord continue to sustain you, protect you, and give you grace for every season ahead. And may He remind you again and again that you never have to walk alone.
โfear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.โ - Isaiah 41:10
