Happy Priestly Anniversary to the Seraphic priest, Fr Kelvin Ugwu ...may God bless you for all your apologetics and enlightening write ups ✍️
Friends, celebrate and thank God with me as I mark 10 years today as a missionary priest. It has been a privilege to serve. I thank God for the people God brought my way over the past 10 years. I thank God for the impact, for his grace, for the experiences in the different missions I have worked, for the tough moments in mission, for the happy moments. I count them all joy.
Please, pray for me, not merely to be successful, but to remain faithful. Pray for me, not to have wealth or riches, but to remain contented with what I have. Pray for me, not to yearn for long life, but to yearn for happy and holy life. Pray for me to remain pure in heart, in other words, PurestPurity. For as the Bible said in Mt 5:8, the pure in heart will see God. . . I suppose the Purest might not only see, but may hug God. Pray for my widowed Mum, whom I don't get to see as I would have due to my mission work. Pray for my classmates, seven of them.
On my part, I pray for all of you. I pray for all who have encouraged me and appreciated all I do here. All of you who have criticised me constructively. As I look back, I recall that together, we have drilled so many boreholes in Malawi and now in The Gambia. I have lost count of the number of people we have sponsored and are still sponsoring in school. We have adopted so many kids and they are all doing well. Together, we built churches, had medical outreaches, helped the sick get treated, helped the prisoners. We have reached out to so many people in need, especially the elderly, and provided wheelchairs, bikes, food. Above all, we have stood for the truth, saying it just as it is.
I can't count all we have achieved, and I am not mentioning them to brag, but rather to acknowledge that they were all possible because you trusted me and decided to make yourself part of the missionary work. May God bless you abundantly. Amen! I continually seek more of your support 🙏
