June 10




Victor's father came to America in 1905. He worked for 15 years in America and went back to China and brought his wife over when he was 31 and his wife was 18 at the time. He was able to return to San Francisco while Victor's mom lived on Angel Island for 10 days before moving here.

Victor is the only boy of 8 children and he didn't really know his father very well. He was very busy working different jobs and fortunately, Victor spent much of his time growing up at the Chinatown YMCA.

Years later, Victor and his sisters honored him by installing a plaque with his name and their mother's name on a wall on Angel Island. Victor spoke about his appreciation for the life his father gave to him here in San Francisco and remembers the sacrifices made knowing his Dad worked very hard to provide for his 8 children and hoped the family would have a better life here.

Everyone broke into groups and was given an opportunity to share thoughts about their father. He asked everyone to talk about their father. Ask yourselves, "Are you who you are because of what he is to you? or in spite of who he is to you? What are some of your impressions about your dad? What is his influence to you?"

George helps us to memorize Hebrews 13:20-21

Benediction:

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the 

dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by 

the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything 

good (whole) that you may do his will, working among us 

that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to 

whom be glory forever and ever. 

Amen.
