Dear Family & Friends,
“Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong.”
I Corinthians 16:13
Paul writes the above charge as he is ending his first letter to their congregation. “Stay alert,” because satan in always prowling around looking for prey. “Stand firm in the faith,” because your faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior makes all things possible. “Show courage,” that satan might flee and you might advance the Kingdom of God. “Be strong,” for to be weak would mean giving into temptation and falling into sin. There are other reasons that can be given for each of these phrases. Paul probably had other things in mind as well, but it is certain that he intended to push us forward in our walk with Jesus. Pray with us as we seek to, “Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong.”
We continue to ask you to pray for the ministry at The Home of God’s Love. There have been a few people interview for positions, but no new person has been hired yet. At least one person intends to start later in the summer. Another is helping part-time as she waits to test for her license. Please continue to pray for the situation with our road. There are continuing issues between the land owners and the government.
Thank you for praying for the McGill family. Bonnie passed away in early April and a memorial service was held at the Morrison Academy Taichung campus yesterday, April 28. It was a beautiful service of praise to God and an expression of the family’s joy in Christ. We ask that you continue to pray for all of the family.
We rejoice over the baptism of Mr. Zhou on the 20th of April. He is being discipled by Chris Sanford. This man is connected to many people. He plans to use his joy in Christ to spread the gospel with his friends.
Please consider joining us in a special prayer time for Taiwan. The Taichung team as set up a website to encourage people to pray for Taiwan as the Month of May begins. You can find the information and the places to sign up at the following website. www.pray4taiwan.com
