HOPE to See You Soon, Here or Up There... Thank You
Dear volunteers,
I hope this letter finds
you all well. I promise this is going to be quite a hard letter for
me to write...I have said a lot of goodbyes in my life yet still I
find myself not skillful enough to say goodbye. Fortunately, this is
not a goodbye letter, but rather a letter to say thank you and see
you soon/later.
First, I am very thankful
to God and all the board members for having given me the opportunity
to serve with you here at Hope Centre. I feel so humbled to have been
part of this wonderful team whose one great purpose is to serve God
and His people. The reward of this service is going to be with you
all forever and ever. I'm writing this while looking at one of the
writings we have in our office which says “Only one life, 'twill
soon be past.
Only what's done for Christ will last.” As I searched for the full quote it goes;
Do I need to say something more truer than that ? ...

| ... hope does not disappoint (Romans 5;5) |
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
And when I am dying, how happy I’ll be,
If the lamp of my life has been burned out for Thee.

Do I need to say something more truer than that ? ...
I have enjoyed working
with you all and I don't know how to best express my gratitude for
the great support you have given me during the past three months.
Working at Hope Centre has been one of the greatest experiences of my
life. I have learned a lot about God and how to serve His people. One
thing I continue to learn is the fact that one of the effective ways
of helping people is to be attentive to the kind of help they need,
and the best way to do that is to learn to listen...I have enhanced
my skill in listening while working here at Hope and this is just one
of the many things I have learned from you all.
Beloved brothers and
sisters, I have admired the Spirit in all of you. The Spirit that
leads you all in giving your time, finances, physical and spiritual
energy towards your service here at Hope. I pray that the Lord
continue to guide you with this One Spirit and One accord. You will
notice that each one of you has different calling. If there is
something I would share as an advice is the fact that “there are
diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit” as declared in 1
Corinthians 12: 4. I will encourage all of you to stick to the gifts
God has given you and seek the Holy Spirit's guidance so that as each
one of you exercises their gifts you continue to maintain the unity
that the Spirit provides.
I have really enjoyed
serving with you and if it's God's will for me to return someday I
will surely embrace this opportunity again with a great smile. I will
dearly miss each one of you including friends who walk through our
doors. May God's love continue to be shown through your lives and may
He alone be your reward. Once again blessings
Yours in Christ
Yves
