( At Talence, France)
Brother Eliel:
Church, Thank you for time we spent together, I didn't expect this but life had other plans I lived a vibrant Christian with you that is what The Lord wants His Church to live, I am leaving, I depart with a sense of joy because during my time in France from Nantes to Bordeaux many Christians were inspired and impacted by my conduct and my way of doing things to The Lord, I also discovered something really important that Churches lack safeguarding measures.
Yes serving The Lord will come at a high cost.
Young people, do not have one foot in Lord and the other in the world, be faithful, walk in obedience and faith even when things seem difficult.
Thank you, may God be with you, walk with you.
On behalf of the Church, I thank you.
( Translation in French) Église, merci pour le temps passé ensemble. Je ne m'y attendais pas, mais la vie en a décidé autrement. J'ai vécu pleinement ma foi chrétienne avec vous, à l'image de ce que le Seigneur souhaite pour son Église. Je pars avec joie, car durant mon séjour en France, de Nantes à Bordeaux, de nombreux chrétiens ont été inspirés et touchés par ma conduite et ma manière de servir le Seigneur. J'ai également constaté un point essentiel : les Églises manquent de mesures de protection.
Oui, servir le Seigneur a un prix.
Jeunes, ne soyez pas à moitié dans le Seigneur et à moitié dans le monde. Soyez fidèles, marchez dans l'obéissance et la foi, même dans les moments difficiles.
Merci, que Dieu vous accompagne.
Au nom de l'Église, je vous remercie.

(Translation in Fijian) Lotu, Vinaka vakalevu na gauna keitou a vakayagataka vata, Au a sega ni namaka oqo ia na bula e tiko tale eso na kena ituvatuva Au a bulataka e dua na lotu Vakarisito bulabula vata kei iko oqori na ka e vinakata na Turaga me bula na Nona Lotu, Au sa biubiu tiko, Au biubiu ena dua na yalo ni marau baleta ena noqu gauna e Varanise mai Nantes ki Bordeaux talega e vuqa na lotu Vakarisito era a vakauqeti ka vakaleqai ena dua na ka na noqu conduver na noqu conduver, bibi dina me sega ni tiko vei ira na Lotu na iwalewale ni veitaqomaki.
Io na veiqaravi vua na Turaga ena yaco mai ena dua na isau levu.
Kemuni na itabagone, me kakua ni dua na yavamuni ena Turaga ka dua tale ena vuravura, mo ni yalodina, lako voli ena talairawarawa kei na vakabauta ena gauna mada ga e vaka me dredre kina na veika.
Vinaka vakalevu, me tiko vata kei kemuni na Kalou, lako vata kei kemuni.
Ena vuku ni Lotu, au vakavinavinaka vei kemuni.
(Translation in Chinese Mandarin) 教会的弟兄姊妹们，感谢我们共度的这段时光。虽然事态的发展出乎我的意料——生活总有它自己的安排——但我们曾一同活出了充满活力的基督徒生命，这正是主希望祂的教会所呈现的样子。如今我要离开了，但我心中充满喜乐；因为在法国期间，从南特（Nantes）到波尔多（Bordeaux），许多基督徒因我的言行举止以及我在事奉主时的行事方式而受到激励与影响。同时，我也发现了一个至关重要的问题：教会普遍缺乏相应的安全保护机制。
是的，事奉主往往需要付出沉重的代价。
年轻人啊，切勿脚踏两只船——既想跟随主，又留恋世俗。务要忠心，即便在艰难时刻，也要行在顺服与信心中。
谢谢你们，愿神与你们同在，伴随你们前行。
我谨代表教会，向你们致以谢意。

( Translation In Swahili) Kanisa, asanteni kwa muda tuliokuwa pamoja; sikutarajia hili lakini maisha yalikuwa na mipango mingine. Niliishi maisha ya Kikristo yenye uchangamfu pamoja nanyi—hayo ndiyo maisha ambayo Bwana anataka Kanisa Lake liishi. Ninaondoka nikiwa na furaha kwa sababu, wakati wa kipindi changu nchini Ufaransa—kuanzia Nantes hadi Bordeaux—Wakristo wengi walitiwa moyo na kuguswa na mwenendo wangu pamoja na namna nilivyomtumikia Bwana. Pia niligundua jambo muhimu sana: kwamba Makanisa hayana taratibu za kutosha za kulinda usalama na ustawi wa watu (safeguarding measures).
Ndiyo, kumtumikia Bwana kuna gharama kubwa.
Vijana, msiwe na mguu mmoja kwa Bwana na mwingine duniani; iweni waaminifu, tembeeni katika utii na imani hata wakati mambo yanapoonekana kuwa magumu.
Asanteni; Mungu na awe nanyi na atembee nanyi.
Kwa niaba ya Kanisa, nawashukuru.
