July 5, 2015 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

“For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.   I have become all things to all people, so that by all means I may save some.  I do all these things because of the gospel, so that I can be a participant in it.”  I Cor. 9:20, 22b-23

Paul was willing to submit himself to the culture around him in order to win people for Christ.  He did not want to offend people or put unnecessary distinctions between he and others that would hinder the gospel. This week starts our annual Sports & English Camp.  Some of those participating as faculty from the US just arrived a day ago.  They are already asking what are some things they should and shouldn’t do in order not to offend the students at camp.  They want to be the best example for Christ that they can be.  Pray with us this week that our differences will not hinder the gospel and that many of these youth will choose Christ as their savior.

Wendy Huang, one of our long-time friends here in Taiwan, is going on an missions internship this summer in Cambodia.  She leaves on Monday morning.  Wendy desires to serve the Lord in cross-cultural missions full-time.  Pray for Wendy this summer as she reaches out to the people in Cambodia and strives to hear God’s leading for her life.

Four babies from the Home of God’s Love have respiratory problems that caused them to have to be in the hospital.  Bev Skiles is staying with them in the hospital leaving the home short a person.  Pray that the babies will get well soon and that Bev and the other workers will have the strength to care for the babies well.

Interns always have the opportunity to have many different experiences.  Peyton Farmer has learned a lot while at Taiwan Xi En.  This week she will be helping out at Sports & English Camp.  She is going from babies to teenagers.  Out team in Taichung has four interns this summer through Team Expansion.  They too have had many different experiences, and now they too get to work with Taiwanese teens.  Pray that they will be humble and will have the heart of a servant this week so they can have the greatest impact possible on the lives of these teens.  Pray as well that these amazing young adults will learn to submit to Christ in all areas of their lives.

Moriah went back to the doctor on Thursday.  He said it is healing, but she still needs to be very careful as the tear heals these next few weeks.  She will have to wear the brace another 6 weeks.  That means she will start school wearing her brace.  Please pray that she will do her best to follow the doctor’s instructions and that God will heal her completely

Thank you for support through all your prayers.

God Bless,

John & Cheryl
