We were with family the last week and Californias Central Valley heat is no joke. Triple digit summer days kept us by the pool and these kids swimming every day. Made memories and tried not to melt but it was like a sauna ☀️💦

After a lifetime of answering God’s call, this chapter comes to a close but the impact never will.

Our dad’s ministry was never just what he did but who he is. His retirement marks the end of his role as a full-time pastor, but his legacy will continue through every life touched and every person inspired.

Well done, good and faithful servant 🤍

June 7th marked my dad’s final blessing as a pastor in the United Methodist Church. Today, he was honored at the Cal-Nev Annual Conference as he officially retires after more than 45 years of faithful ministry.
It’s taken me some time to post this because… what do you even say? How do you sum up a lifetime of faithfulness?
What I know is this: from the moment God called my dad into ministry, he never wavered. He loved the Church, served people, preached Christ, and remained faithful through every season. His life has always pointed people to Jesus.
What isn’t pictured but is impossible to separate from his story… is my mum. She has been the quiet strength behind it all. She didn’t lead from the spotlight but through humble, faithful service. She held our family together, cared for countless people, and loved the Bride of Christ just as deeply. Their ministries have always been one ministry.
Mum and Dad, thank you for being our example. Thank you for teaching us that people always matter. Thank you for showing us what faithfulness looks like when ministry is joyful, and when it’s hard. Thank you for reminding us, time and time again, that we are “blessed” especially on the days when it didn’t feel like it.
Your legacy isn’t measured by years served or titles held. It’s found in the countless lives you’ve loved, the churches you’ve strengthened, and the family you’ve raised to love Jesus. We are who we are because of your faithfulness.
Malo ‘aupito, Mum and Dad. We love you, we’re proud of you, and onto the next ministry… cause we all know, no one really retires from ministry. #hinganokids #whowillyouimpactnow by @deyjah

Part 4: We believe appreciation should never be overlooked. This church renovation/rebuilding was a 5-year project and this celebration was a chance to honor those who contributed and played a meaningful role along the way. With our dad serving as Pastor and leader the last 20-months, it was especially important to recognize and thank the contractors and Bishop.

For this event, Dr. G curated six personalized party favors, most from Tonga. The front table guests of honor included church leaders and building contractors, whose dedication, prayers, and support made it all possible. As a special token of appreciation, the two contractors were gifted traditional Tongan koloa, along with corned beef and bags of kava✨ by @deyjah
