Goodbye to the Fernandezes

The team from Dakota coincided with Aleeyah’s birthday party and the departure of Greg and Resie Fernandez from Cambodia for a year of furlough in the Philippines. Here you are seeing Resie and Aleeyah preparing to blow out the birthday candles.

It was a great night of sharing our appreciation for Greg and Resie and their entire family. Here you are seeing the female students gathering for a picture during the party.

Following the time of sharing, we spent time praying for Greg and Resie; asking for God’s special blessing to be upon them in their travels and in their ministry in the Philippines. Here you are seeing Pastor Keith Nash leading the prayers for Greg, Resie, Aleeyah and Esher.

Seeing our friends and their children leaving the field for a year was difficult for us. It was Greg and Resie that welcomed us at the airport when we first arrived, and it was a great pleasure working with them during these years.

Here you are seeing Resie waving goodbye to the students, the missionaries, and the pastors. We will look forward to the time when Greg and Resie come back to the field so that we can minister together again at the WBI and the Wesleyan Church of Cambodia.
