Best Wishes to Robert

Robert I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your friendship over the last year and a half and I know that our friendship will last for many years to come. One thing I know for certain is that as this is the end of something (the way you knew life) it is also an amazing beginning to the next chapter that God has in store for you.

I know that God is using you in great ways to reach out to those that may never of had the chance to hear about the loving God who we serve. Life is strange with it's twists and turns and often there are road blocks that are put in front of us that cause many to turn around and quit the path they were on. I admire that you have continued on the path that God put you on and have used those blocks as a stepping stone instead of a stumbling block in your life.

Life will never be the same for you and what you knew will inevitable change. But what you are going into is a much sweeter place and a more intimate fellowship with our Savior. What you will learn both in knowledge and wisdom will serve many purposes. Obviously it will serve those whom God has sent you to, it will also serve those of us back here praying for you. What you will bring back from your work will be invaluable to the church mission and something that only you can bring to us. That is why God has sent you and why you were raised for such a time as this. I have absolutely no doubt that God has equipped you for this calling. Go forward with all of our prayers for you and your team.

Take care of yourself and always know that you have a friend who is here to offer support in any way possible. Please know that it is not an empty offer, if there is anything you need do not hesitate to ask.
