Dear All,

"Prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up" JAMES 5:15

I am always hopeful and confident that dad will make it back to Kuching & Sibu.

Dear All,

Praise the Lord for all the great things that HE had done for dad.

The following is the verse that I want to share with you.

Roman 8:11 "But if the spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raise Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you."

Keep on praying and petition to our Lord for our dad healing and speedy recovery and praise Him for all the things that HE had done for our dad.
