As far as I know, it’s our Senior Pastor’s first visit in CCF Abu Dhabi. I am happy that I am in the UAE for this.

I haven’t seen my church family in months and I can’t wait to give everybody a hug!

The Abu Dhabi team has worked hard preparing for this special day.

It’s inspiring to still see my brother Leo heading the Singles Ministry and my sister Joy leading the Youth Ministry, plus singing in the Worship Team.

Almost all my Dgroup siblings are voluntarily serving in various ministries. What a joy seeing them use their skills and talents to bless others.

Pastor Peter delivered a powerful and relevant message about what to do during times of disappointments – that is to always trust God.

It was so nice to be reunited with them for even just a day.

The hall was filled with warm hugs, hushed screams of excitement, and unending I-miss-yous…

It makes a big difference having a church family (and a small group) when working or living abroad. They will be your strength, encouragement and accountability partners in life.

While my sibs and all the other leaders enjoyed dinner with Pastor Peter and Sister Deona…

…I was nanny for the evening! My nephews and nieces are growing up so fast. Ahh, time flies!

Watch how many jumps and hugs (and punches) I gave today!
