Friendship of the Kingdom

The story continues...

Recently, Saw Woo was diagnosed with a serious health problem and had to return to his homeland to receive immediate medical attention. Before he left, Clement and David brought Saw Woo out for a farewell dinner.

As always, joy and laughter were shared over the dinner table. Yet, there were moments during the conversation when Saw Woo was looking down on the floor. Obviously, he was trying his best to withstand the gushing waters that were pressing hard against the dam of his eyes. Finally, he looked up to Clement and David and revealed to them that he was very touched by their unconditional love and concern for him and his Burmese friends, and he said he will never forget them even after he returns to Myanmar.

Before they left the dinner table, Clement and David insisted that Saw Woo must write to them even after he goes back to his homeland so that they can continue to keep in touch with one another. They even promised Saw Woo that they will travel to Myanmar to visit him in the near future...

This is a true story of a beautiful forged friendship, friendship that transcends all barriers of difference (e.g. social status, race, nationality and language etc.), friendship that truly belongs to the Kingdom of God.

In the eyes of Clement and David, Saw Woo is not an object of their care and concern (as is common in ministries), but is an equal subject that they truly respect and love, simply because he is their...friend.
