An update...

It's been 11 months since all this madness began last year and I must thank all of you for your unfailing concern, support and prayers. Thanks for the smses, phone calls, emails and home visits... I especially appreciate the many who have met up with me and my lawyers in recent months, to provide facts which may be useful as evidence in my defense. It's even harder for some of you who are students and by providing evidence in my defense, you may risk adversely affecting some of your friendships. Respect for your moral courage. It is neither my intent to damage relationships nor to hurt anyone in the process of clearing my name. Thanks for standing up for what you consider to be the good and right thing to do.

The process of trial preparation and the entire experience has been draining for me and my loved ones. But God has been gracious and He has answered your prayers for me in a multitude of ways. He has given me the inner peace and strength I need, and also the practical assistance I need in the case. God has also upheld my health and there has not been any recurrence of my heart condition since the operation in November last year. Praise God that despite the challenges, we've been making much progress in our defense preparations.

The trial begins on 10 April with the prosecution stating its case with the accusers and their witnesses. They are estimated to take about 3 weeks, after which, the defense will begin our case. The entire trial will take about 6 weeks.

During the trial I'll be providing some updates (without compromising the process) for all of you who care, thus helping you to pray along with us. It may not be appropriate to post these updates on this blog so I'll be sending out email updates instead. If you wish to receive these updates, please send me an email request (at dingatacs@hotmail.com) with your name and contact no. (for verification purposes).

I will only post general updates, prayer requests or devotionals on this blog for the time being.
