There were altogether 20 of us (including Raymond, his friend and 2 'associate members' i.e. temporarily imported from other Growth Groups & Joel, Jordan & Reuel) at Raymond's farewell on Sunday, 13 July 2008. The dinner was held in Loong Foong (actually not very befitting a Master Chef... oops!) but I guess it was more the fellowship... which continued at the Chans. Raymond shared a bit - he will be leaving for Dubai this Friday, 25 July.
The opportunities to learn and advance (accelerate?) in his culinary expertise are there... Praise the Lord for at least 2 familiar faces there (ex-colleagues).
We had quite an awesome time of prayer! From reminders to persevere to promises that God would make him a fisher of men to a higher level of faith, etc..... (oops sorry, I can't remember but I know they were just wow!!)
Do remember our brother in your prayers.
