“For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]” – Eph. 2:8-9. I thank you all for allowing yourselves to be used by God and your contributions to CHAN’s success in 2021.

As we enter this new year 2022, let us all keep in mind that we still have a lot of work to do. I therefore enjoin all of us to brace up, trusting God that His work in and through CHAN will grow from strength to strength; and together, we will rejoice in him to His glory for the impact the works of our hands will make in glorifying God’s name.

Happy New and prosperous year 2022.
