I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure (Psalm 16:8-9).
What a joy to celebrate Celeste’s graduation from Logos International School in Phnom Penh! So many people have been a part of guiding her to this moment. We are thankful for each of you! But most of all, we are thankful for God’s faithfulness to Celeste over these many years. He created her with unique abilities and passions, redeemed her through Jesus Christ, and fills her with the Holy Spirit as she continues to use her gifts in her vocations. See below for how you can celebrate this milestone with us by joining (virtually) Celeste’s graduation on May 24.
It is also a big month for J.P., who will graduate with his PhD from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. It has been a long journey, which never would have been completed were it not for the help and encouragement of so many friends and colleagues. Thank you!
