Dear LifeSpring Family, I am sure that many of you were thinking the same thought yesterday as we listened to Alex Soon’s testimony. “I thought I knew Alex Soon but apparently not”. His testimony reminded me of the truth in God’s word in 2 Corinthians 5:21. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. The righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ was and is…

Dear LifeSpring Family, I have been listening to the Holy Spirit and thinking about Romans 1:17: 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” The question that comes to my mind is that “Am I living by faith?” Being in the life cycle that I am currently in sometimes does not require much faith. The kids are grown and do not require any financial…

Dear LifeSpring Family, This past Tuesday, I was on a plane flying back from Abbotsford to Toronto. I flew out to Abbotsford to attend the funeral of a good friend, mentor, and supporter of the ministry in Thailand. He and his entire extended family of 17 people consisting of his children and grandchildren have served in Thailand and Singapore on short-term missions on multiple occasions. At 73 years old, he was not young but at the same time, not old,…

Dear LifeSpring Family, As I was reading the Daily Bread (Wednesday, September 20th), a portion of the devotion was really challenging my spirit. “When Jesus asked a Samaritan woman for a drink of water—implying He’d drink from what she fetched from the well—He changed her life. She was surprised by His request. Jews looked down on Samaritans. But Jesus said, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have…

Dear LifeSpring Family, What a blessing to be a part of yesterday’s baby dedication of four beautiful babies. I love baby dedications because they bring so much hope for all of us in LifeSpring. Thank you for the opportunity to share what God is doing in Thailand and Singapore. And thank you for partnering with God through us for what he was to do in Thailand and Singapore. As I shared with many of you yesterday, for the past several…

Dear LifeSpring Family By the time you are reading this devotional, we will have landed in Abbotsford International Airport, God willing.  Dorothy and I are on our way to Power To Change’s Staff Conference. This will be the first time in about 4 years since we are together as staff of Power To Change. We are looking forward to reconnecting to over 500 fellow missionaries from all over Canada and some from around the world.  I have included a picture of the…

Dear LifeSpring Family, It is good to be home after 3 weeks of traveling on missions in Thailand and Singapore. Of course, international travel these days poses unique challenges, and flying out of and back to Pearson International Airport with all its recent challenges requires faith. Faith that your flight does not get canceled and/or your luggage ends up in a different airport in the world.   The faith that Dorothy and I have is encouraged by the scripture that the pastoral…

Dear LifeSpring Family, Happy Canada Day!!! What a blessing to be born and/or live in this great country, Canada. As most of us are aware, Canada’s founding principles were based on the recognition of God over our land. In fact, Psalms 72:8 is inscribed on the Peace Tower of our Parliament Building in Ottawa. With the current high inflation rate, the war in Ukraine, and the turmoil of the recent statement from the U.S Supreme Court regarding Roe v Wade,…

Dear LifeSpring Family, Hearing Pastor Gabriel preached to us on Father’s Day on Sunday and reading his devotions this past Monday, challenged me to be more like the Second Adam. Most of us are familiar with the story of the fall of the first Adam and his helpmate, Eve in Genesis chapter 3. From Genesis chapter 3, Dr. Robert Lewis reminded me of the lessons that I can learn from the first Adam’s approach/behavior to being a man, husband, and…

Dear LifeSpring Family, A few months ago, I was at the autobody shop to get the side mirror on my car fixed. The shop came highly recommended. And it did not disappoint as I had a very good conversation with the owner, Jack. Jack like myself is an immigrant to Canada but unlike myself, he is not from Singapore but immigrated from Armenia. Soon our conversation turned into spiritual matters and how he believes that God has guided and continues…

Dear LifeSpring Family, I wanted to share with you my latest memory verse in today’s devotions. It is a verse if not all, most of you have heard it before and some of you have even memorized it. The verse is 1 Chronicles 4:10 Wait for it…………… “Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from…

Dear LifeSpring Family, As I was reading today’s Daily Bread (July 18th) devotions, I was reminded and challenged. Reminded of our practice of doing Holy Communion every Sunday. And challenged my reasons for celebrating Holy Communion together every Sunday. The scripture reading for today’s Daily Bread devotions was from John 6:25-35. 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly,  truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate  your fill of the loaves. 27 Do not work for the food that  perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son  of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”  28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of  God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you  believe in him whom he has sent.” 30 So they said to him, “Then  what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform?  31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is  written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said  to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the  bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from  heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven  and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this  bread always.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me  shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. As you read the holy scriptures, please do some listening prayer…
