Tonight, Jinnalee and I both received our diplomas for our master’s degrees in Leadership Ministry with an emphasis in Counseling & Care. We had the honor of walking with the @faithinternationaluniversity #classof2025

A big thank you to the faculty and staff — for all that you’ve equipped, imparted, and encouraged in us. We are so grateful for you.

Also, thank you to our daughter, parents, and dear friends for their patience — no more papers for a while 😅

In 2019, before Jinnalee’s brain surgery, she told me that if she made it through the surgery she wanted to learn another language. After her recovery time, I asked her if she wanted to go back to school with me instead. We spent countless hours studying and growing together. It felt daunting at times — through changing ministry seasons and after eight more surgeries, we pushed each other to finish strong.

Thank you, Jesus for carrying us through this season of our lives. To God be the glory!
