Dear Family & Friends,
“He took the Book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people, and they said, ‘We are willing to do and obey all that the Lord has spoken.’ So Moses took the blood and splashed it on the people and said, ‘This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.’” Exodus 24:27-28
The story that will be told in the Good News & Eternal Light churches today is the giving of the Law to the Israelites. Before and after the law was given, the Israelites stated that they would obey all that God had spoken to them through Moses. A covenant was made in blood between God and Israel. Is it not the same with us that a covenant in blood has been made between God and every Christian? We have made a covenant with God, we should live accordingly. We should bring glory and honor to God as well as blessing to ourselves by honoring the covenant. Please pray for us to be living examples to the Taiwanese as how to live in covenant with God.
We are glad to tell you that we did not receive much rain nor wind from the typhoon this week. Other areas did receive heavy rain. Some people near the Home of God’s Love in the NE part of the island have lost homes and possessions, some even their lives. Please join us in prayer for these people.
Please pray for Chen, Fang-yi, one of our brothers at Eternal Light. He has developed high blood pressure that caused him to have a nose bleed off and on for 36 hours. If he had bled inside his skull he might have had a stroke. Please pray for Fang-yi to learn to deal better with pressure at work, to change his diet, and to take his medicine properly. We praise God that he did not have a stroke. Fang-yi is 44 years old.
This past week or two Cheryl has spent quite a bit of time with some of the birth moms from His Hands. Two have recently given birth by Caesarean section, so please pray for their healing. One of these moms has had some interaction with Christians, but the other two have not. These two really are completely ignorant of a loving creator God. They don’t even understand why you would pray to a God in the way that Cheryl does for them. Please pray for Cheryl and others to have opportunities to share the Gospel message with them in ways that will cause them to think and consider their beliefs and worldview.
Thank you for praying.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
1. Please pray for us to be living examples to the Taiwanese as how to live in covenant with God.
2. Praise God for our safety during the typhoon, but pray for those affected by the flooding.
3. Praise God for sparing Fang-yi from a stroke, but pray for him as he learns to live with high blood pressure.
4. Please continue to pray for opportunities to witness to the birth moms at His Hands, and for their health.
