We have now welcomed the new year.  As we begin the new year, we all have new hopes and dreams for the
          coming days.  Some time ago I had an opportunity to speak with a psychiatrist, a friend of mine.  He pointed
          out to me that the human brain processes more than 6,200 thoughts a day.  However, 70-80% of these
          thoughts are negative thoughts. What this tells us is that we live with more negative thoughts and worries than
          positive thoughts.


                                                                                   As we start the new year, we
                                                                                   have an opportunity to look at the
                                                                                   state of our mindset and remind

                                                                                   In the past three years, COVID

                                                                                   significant way.  Hope5L2F has
                                                                                   also experienced many difficul-
                                                                                   ties due to the impact of COVID.
                                                                                   At the same time, however, we
                                                                                   were also able to experience the
                                                                                   Lord's grace at work during the
                                                                                   challenging time of COVID.


           One of our major tasks for this year is to complete the
          rebuilding process of Hope5L2F.  At the same time, we
          will continue our ministry of Susannah Wesley House
          in Cambodia, which we started in 2018 as a ministry to
          develop and cultivate leadership among young women.
          We will also resume our training ministry in Southeast
          Asia for pastors and lay people, which was interrupted
          by COVID.  This year, we will also start the prepara-
          tion for ministry to promote economic sustainability
          for young people in Ukraine who are suffering from
          the war.


          I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our
          mission partners who have continued to support Hope5L2F and join us in prayer even through the challenging
          time of COVID.  I also humbly invite you to continue to journey with us with your prayers and support the
          work of Hope5L2F this year.


          May God continue to richly bless you and give you joy in all the days in the New Year!
