Thanksgiving:
We were advised strongly NOT to ROM at our church wedding because Irene's father is unlikely to step into the church. We prayed and asked God that He would soften the heart of Irene's father, and willing to walk Irene down the aisle to give her daughter in marriage to me.
To our surprise, he said YES! I repeated the request to Irene's father, and he said it was okay, and he understood it. Praise the Lord! My mum and Irene's third aunt was there also to discuss about the wedding preparation with Irene's father. So hearing from his mouth, Irene's aunt said nothing of dissuading us not to ROM at the church wedding. Now we can move on quickly to prepare for our wedding.
Prayer Requests:
I had requested to shorten the loan payment period for the current flat (Woodlands) to 5 years, and then Irene and I will purchase a new flat. We are trying to apply for a new flat under the BTO scheme, and pray that our application is possible even my name stays in the current flat for the next 5 years.
Finding new supporters to raise wedding allowance and monthly support.
Financial Needs:
