Office of the President A Frog on My Shelf Esther and I offer a huge THANK YOU to the One Mission Society family for graciously adopting us. We feel warmly welcomed and have been overwhelmed by the undeserved kindness shown to us. The biggest and greatest gift given to us by several is the assurance of their prayers. Our sense of needing God, of knowing that he’s guiding, helping, and empowering us, is intense. The desire of our hearts is to serve out of an overflow of a deep love relationship with Christ while walking in all-out dependence on him. There is a frog in my office. It’s not a live frog, nor is it an idol or good luck charm. Crafted out of metal, it sits on the shelf as if watching and listening to what is going on. Some who have seen it have commented, “Oh, that’s a cute frog. Why is it sitting there?” Esther gave me this frog a few years ago to serve as a constant reminder of an important truth embedded in Psalm 20:7, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” The meaning of the frog in my office is that God is fully dependable and faithful. He is completely trustworthy. Therefore, we can Fully Rely On God! 3
