(First Southern Baptist Church of Monterey Park)![]()
On the 22nd of May, we visited the church and had a wonderful time. This church is very mission mined, loving, and fun church, and we became friends and family right away. Daniel led Sunday School and the Evening Service. I (Grace) shared our missions work in Zambia and challenged the congregation to come to Zambia to share the name of Jesus. We sang a special song. We felt that God visited their hearts and spoke to them through our testimony and through the presentation. We are very excited about the church. Many members showed a strong desire to come and work with us as volunteers.
We pray and hope that one day many will be able to come and see the Mighty Hands of God in Zambia in the first hand experience.
(07 May 2011 Aaron’s Graduation of CBU)
On May 6, Aaron graduated from California Baptist University with a B.A degree in Graphic Design & Digital Media with honors. We are very proud of Aaron for completing college within the 4 years which required for his degree. We are thankful to God that He gave us the opportunity to celebrate Aaron’s graduation and to be a part of this big milestone in his life.
(Daniel’s Father )
During the second week of May, we as a family visited San Jose where the rest of Daniel’s families live. We had a great family reunion, as we sat around the table and had a real meaningful time together. Daniel’s father, who is 83 years old, is still strong, his second younger brother is doing a great job as a local Baptist Church pastor, and his younger sister is faithful serving the Lord at her church.

I(Grace) thank God for this sweet, sweet time with my family. My Mother(top picture) and my brother and his wife(bottom picture).
Welcome Home, Daniel and Grace, You look great! I’m so glad you got to spend precious time with your family. You look so happy. I’m praying that you find your Zambian family blessed as well.
