Dear Family & Friends,
“But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean.” Luke 2:19
Being that it is Mother’s Day, John will be preaching from passages that show Mary heart. The passages will take us all the way to the cross. All moms treasure memories of their children growing up. We hope that they will empathize with Mary, therefore, preparing their hearts for the gospel. Please pray that everyone will be touched by the message.
The rest of our Mother’s Day program includes praise & worship, a children’s choir, an adult choir, teenage guitar club, & a puppet skit. Following the program their will be a catered meal and Christian karaoke. Should be a day to remember. Please pray that God will be glorified and that people will be open to the gospel. We are hoping for 100 in attendance.
The Farmers will have their interview for Mylee’s exit visa on the 14th of May. Please pray that the information collected concerning Mylee’s birth mom’s situation and His Hands’ attempts to find her is sufficient for AIT to grant her exit visa. The major issue is that an irrevocable release was never signed by the birth mom. Mylee needs to be seen in the eyes of the US government as an abandoned child.
We continue to be involved in teaching character education classes at the elementary school near our church building, and counseling. Recently, Paul was asked to help with a group students. These children all need some help learning to work together with others. Paul also has been counseling a brother and sister whose family situation is not very good. When he heard about them and then spoke to each of them he realized how difficult it would be to help them especially without using scripture. He spoke to the head counselor about the situation. He told them the only way he could really help these two children was through bringing them in touch with Jesus. The counselor told Paul that this is what they wanted to happen. The school agreed that these two children would only be helped if they found true acceptance and unconditional love. They told Paul he had their permission to teach them about Jesus! PTL! Please pray for Paul to have wisdom as he works with these children.
Thank you for your prayers.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
