“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.” — Philippians 1:3 (KJV)
Farewell Dinner for Our Solomon Islands Sister, Chelcia Gomese Sunday September 27.
We were blessed to share a special farewell dinner with our dear sister, Chelcia Gomese, as she returned to Sydney in August to continue and complete her PhD studies, from Honiara, Solomon Islands.
In the lead-up to our July Mission Trip to the Solomon Islands, Chelcia was an incredible blessing to our team. She generously assisted us with photos of our mission sites, weather updates, local information, errands, and online Zoom meetings to help us prepare and plan. Her willingness to serve, her kindness, and her support made a tremendous difference to our preparations, and we are truly grateful for all she did.
During her time back in Sydney, we were fortunate to spend precious moments with her at our respective churches and gather together to say farewell. While we will miss her presence in Sydney, we pray for God’s continued guidance, strength, and wisdom as she completes her PhD journey back home in the Solomon Islands.
Chelcia, thank you for your beautiful spirit of service and for being such a blessing to our Solomon Island mission team. May God continue to open doors, bless your studies, and guide you in all that lies ahead. Until we meet again, may His love and grace go with you always!
