Farewell

One of the hardest part about being in the youth ministry is letting go. We all know youth ministry has a high turnover, meaning the amount of time we spent with each youth is probably only about 6-7 years the most, assuming they start coming to youth when they enter Form 1. And while we try and mingle and talk to everyone, we're bound to be closer to a few. And when they leave us for further studies, it really tears at the heart to see them leave. I have written about this before, so I won't elaborate further.

But today, Moses left us to go Penang for his further studies. He will be reading Law there. So Jenny, Clement and I went off to the airport to send him off and we also saw Matthew there. We managed to spend an hour or so together since his flight was retimed to a later time. While there may not be tears when we parted, believe me when I say we will miss him. He's a sporting guy, always game for everything, always supportive especially in the P&W. He sings, he composes, he plays the guitar, he's just a all round friendly guy.

We may be parted, but we will always have the friendship, so Moses, take care of yourself, don't get distracted (ahem!), remember to go church, youth/cell group and we will see you when we see you! God bless, man!
