IT'S A GIRL


Her name is Cecilia Jewel Randall.

CLEAR

Chin Leng ( above ext left) received this sms from James Chua (2nd from right) yesterday after his test results):

"Praise the LORD! The CT scan shows chest area is CLEAR."

So what does that mean?
No chemotherapy or radiaiton.
Just rest, recovery, and rejoicing.
Praise God for answering our prayers.

James

As some of you might have heard, one of our students James Chua was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer in his kidney and had to go through emergency surgery.
Here's the latest:

- a small part of the bladder, along with his left kidney, and his urether) had been removed

- the right kidney is doing all the work on its own; pray that it will cope

- it is not certain if he will need to undergo chemotherapy

The last we heard, he is still physically weak but his spirit is strong.
Pray for full recovery, and grace for his dear wife, Mui Yoong, who is his main caregiver.

About Me

In the Old Testament in the Bible, there was a man named Jacob who "wrestled with God and man." He wouldn't let God go until God answered his prayers. God admired that and renamed him Israel, "the one who fought or wrestled and prevailed". He fought with man--his inner man--and conquered his own weaknesses. He's my hero. He is what I hope God and man see me to be.
