Please let me explain what this farewell is all about. Part of my ministry is to relieve Missionary Pastors so they can return to the States for a short furlough to take care of medical needs, family concerns, etc., etc..
I relieved BIMI Chris Hurst for five months the last half of 2018 so he and his family could return to the States. I became the Pastor of MetroView Baptist Church in Antipolo, Rizal, East of Manila while they were away.
Of course, in that length of time the members become attached to you and appreciate your ministering to their spiritual needs. There are some cases where I was able to win their family to the Lord, etc.
This farewell video is their expression of their love and appreciation to me. Thank you for your faithful prayers and financial support. You are a partner with me in this ministry, and you are a blessing to me as I reach the lost for Christ.
In His service until He comes,
Mel Brown
