Dear Family & Friends,
“He saved us not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit.” Titus 3:5
Paul writes to Titus about the human tendency to try to make ourselves righteous by our good works. Satan is really good at using this against us as well. The Taiwanese society has this concept built into it through Taoism and Buddhism. Some of our teaching at Sports and English camp has to deal with this problem. Pray with us as we present this to the youth, this truth of accepting Christ’s righteousness as the means to salvation.
We are excited to share with you that three young men made decisions to follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Two were able to be baptized on Saturday morning, Alen & Charlie. The third, Kevin, is not able to be baptized at this time. Please pray for these young men as well as others that were impacted by this past week of camp.
The second week of Sports & English Camp starts today. We will have another 120 campers attend. The first week went very well with little disturbance by the weather. Most of the faculty are coming into this week a little tired from the first week. Please pray that we all remain healthy and able to invest in the lives of the campers as we need to during this week.
Thank you for praying for the babies from the Home of God’s Love that were in the hospital. They all are out of the hospital now. They are not completely well, but are much improved.
Please pray for Judy Dunn, John’s mom. She has shingles. She is not in too much discomfort at this time. She is missing the annual family reunion though since she is possibly contagious. Pray that her blisters will dry up quickly so that she won’t be contagious.
Thank you for praying!
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
