Dear John Letter

I received a "Dear John Letter" last night at a dinner hosted by jack and Lena Y. After reading this, I found myself thanking God for the years He has given me in Fort Bend. Grateful, too, for the privilege of serving Him and being used as His instrument. I usually don't self-publish my press reports, but I did promise Steven's parents I would do this. Steven K. put a lot of hard work into this. Thanks, Steven.

Dear Mr. Frank,

I would like to take the time to thank you for all of your hard work in the Children's Ministry at Fort Bend Community Church. I am now in 7th grade, but I still remember you as one of my heroes. You were always there at Awana to support us and help us with our games, worship time, and memorizing verse. On Sunday during our children's worship, you led us through songs and preached the Word to us. You tried to make the Word fun and interesting to learn about our Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for all your help and encouragement. I wish you a safe trip to your next destination where God has wanted you to go and preach the Word. Finally, May God Bless You and Your Family.

Sincerely yours,
Steven Kung

Off to Oregon

Well, it's final. I got a phone call yesterday from Village Baptist Church in Beaverton, Oregon, informing me that the congregation has voted and approved the recommendation to call me as Pastor to Children and Families.

I am excited, as are my family. However, the stress of preparing to move is also getting to us. Betty and I did a quick count and calculated this to be a double-digit move for our family. Here's the complete list of previous moves, so far.

1) Taipei to Manila (July 1992)
2) Manila to Dallas (May 1993)
3) Sied Apt. to Swiss Apt., within Dallas (Sept. 1993)
4) Swiss Apt. to Biltmore Apt., within Dallas (August 1995)
5) Biltmore Apt. to Swissaire Apt., within Dallas (1996)
6) Swissaire Apt. to Gus Thomasson Rd., within Dallas (Oct. 1997)
7) Gus Thomasson Rd., Dallas to Rosemeade Pkwy., Carrollton (Dec. 1999)
8) Carrollton to Sugar Land (Aug 2001)
9) Sugar Land to Missouri City (Oct. 2002)
