Dear Family & Friends,
“Paul looked directly at the council and said, ‘Brothers, I have lived my life with a clear conscience before God to this day.’” Acts 23:1
Wow! Are we able to say the same as Paul? Can you say that you have lived according to God’s will for your life daily? I believe that Paul’s words challenge us in more than one way. First, Paul’s words challenges us, as Christians, to view ourselves as forgiven by God of our sins. Secondly, his words challenge us to daily pick up our cross and follow Jesus. Satan often uses guilt of past sin to cause us to give up before we even begin to pick-up our cross. Let us learn to believe in our forgiveness that we might daily live for Jesus.
This coming week we will be in Taichung attending the annual Taiwan Missionary Fellowship (TMF) conference. We will have an opportunity to participate in workshops and hear challenging messages from God’s word. We will also be able to visit with other missionaries. Please pray that the conference will bring both challenge and encouragement to all the missionaries that attend.
The meeting concerning the possible training center in Taiwan was well attended and brought about some good discussion. There will probably be another meeting later this year. There has not been a final decision made, but everything looks favorable at this time. We will keep you posted as things move ahead.
John will be preaching today at the Good News Church. He also met with the leaders this past week concerning transition of Peter leaving and Eugene coming. Eugene will begin working full-time at the Good News church in August. John will continue to train Eugene in certain areas as well as to assist he and the church as they learn to work together. We will give more details later. Please pray for all of the leaders as well as the congregation.
Sports & English Camp is only two weeks away. Our VBS is only a month away. We have been preparing for both. Please pray that the faculty and teachers for both S & E Camp and VBS develop a heart to serve these children and youth. Please pray that those attending will have hearts that are ready to receive the Word of God.
Thank you for your prayers for the work here in Taiwan.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
