Dear Family & Friends,
“Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry, and why is your expression downcast? Is it not true that if you do what is right, you will be fine? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it.’” Genesis 4:6-7
The above text is a glimpse into the life of every person. We battle with sin in our lives. As non-Christians, we try to subdue sin on our own, but we often fail. As Christians, we have power through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to assist us in overcoming sin. Please pray that our Taiwanese brothers and sisters and we will subdue sin in our lives through the help of the Holy Spirit.
Last week we were traveling back from Taichung at the time this note is usually sent out. We were able to assist our sister church, Come Christian Church, in Taichung where David & Brenda Atkin as well as Lance & Kim Hampton serve. Malachi played the part of baby Jesus in their outdoor live nativity. The nativity drew quite a crowd on both Friday and Saturday nights. This was in preparation for their Christmas eve program. Please pray that the Come Christian Church will have opportunity to continue to witness to main of those that attend their Christmas activities.
Last Sunday evening the Eternal Light congregation hosted a Christmas outreach at the local elementary school. The Good News congregation participated in the program helping Eternal Light to have a very good outreach. There were over 30 visitors that came. The Good News congregation had their outreach on the evening of Christmas day. The program went very well and there were a lot of young people in attendance. Please pray that both Good News and Eternal Light will see work hard on follow-up so as to see growth.
Thank you to everyone for your notes and gifts during this Christmas season. May God continue to bless all of you in the New Year.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
