Dear Family & Friends,
“Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, and after taking some food, his strength returned. For several days he was with the disciples in Damascus, and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, ‘This man is the Son of God.’” Acts 9:18-20
The above passage is a testimony to a changed life. Saul had seen the “True Light,” Jesus. Once Saul met Jesus nothing was the same for him. He was changed from the inside out. We are hoping and praying everyday that people will see the “True Light” shining though us, and that they, too, might meet Jesus and be changed forever. Please continue to join us in praying for our upcoming Christmas outreach activities.
On Saturday, the Eternal Light congregation was given an opportunity to serve the grade school community. The principal asked Paul at the last minute to help with their “all school” track & field day by setting up a booth that would sell food. We are not in the habit of raising money through selling items, but the school needed food vendors. The principal also wanted to give charitable organizations a chance to receive some donations. We took the opportunity to bless His Hands Taiwan and the school community. Our people sold the food items inexpensively, and posted signs that all proceeds would go to His Hands. Paul & Betty also prepared a game for the children. They could win prizes for memorizing Bible verses. The more you memorize the bigger the prize. We are yet to see what the total effect will be, but we believe God was glorified.
We, John & Cheryl, have been asked by friends to help with a special Christmas activity they are hosting. These three friends are Morrison teachers. They take part in a Chinese class for foreigners. Most of the people taking the class are foreign brides. We have been asked to present the events of Christ’s birth in story form to their classmates and families next Saturday morning. Many of these families live close enough to be easily affected by the ministry of the Eternal Light congregation. Pray with us as we prepare to share the story of God’s love through the birth of Jesus.
During the month of October, Cheryl began trying to decide what she would be studying next with her ladies group. After just not finding the right thing the ladies themselves asked if they could learn how to share the Gospel with others. Wow! PTL! This past Wednesday morning they began studying about why we should share the Gospel with others. Join us in praying for our ladies to become great evangelists.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
