My Farewell Service

Last night, Sunday 10th August 2008, I had my farewell service. What a blessed time of fellowship and being encouraged it was.

To all that took part and all who attended, words will never be able to express my gratitude for what it meant to me to have you all stand with me as I step out in faith with the Lord. The generosity that everyone showed with their words, cards and above all, lavish donations has truly blown me away.

Thank you for all the kind words you spoke about what I had to say in my response from the pulpit. I just bless God that He glorified Himself through such an old jar of clay as me! In me dwells no good thing. It is Him who works in me to will and to do of His good pleasure.

As you remember me, please pray for me that I will walk worthily with my God and that I will serve Him in a way that not only glorifies Him but is fitting of the faith and trust you all have put in me. I am so encouraged to know that as I go to Spain you are holding the ropes.

Primarily, I want to thank God for how He blessed the service and was very real in it all.

May God richly bless each of you who have supported me in any way and may you know the Holy Spirit shed His love abroad in your heart.

Andy.
