Since Dec 26, 1981, when Jemi's loving father, my Eben Azariah annan-cum-father in law gave her hand to me on the wedding promise, for last 32 years, our LORD has been so good and faithful, bestowing His spiritual blessing increasingly on our family every year as never before.
God's ways are always amazing in our family and ministry life. I am always thanking the LORD, Jesus Christ, often thinking what would have been to me if Jemi were not my wife.
She has taught me what is being faithful, loving, caring, understanding, supporting, counseling to each other.
As I came from other faith, Jemi has tremendous part in laying solid Gospel Faith foundation to what the Richards family began in my life.
The LORD has blessed us with Preston, God-fearing, courteous, affectionate and intelligent son.
The LORD has taught us being content and glad in plenty and in wants, in ups and downs, in praises and bad reports, in sound health and sicknesses.
We thank the LORD that many are blessing to our family and our family also has been blessing to many.
We praise the LORD for our parents, all our families, pastors, mentors, faith families, family-friends, co-ministers of the Gospel, ministry partners and supporters.
We love to quote Paul's words as our commitment:
"For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. (Romans 14:7-9 NIV)
