March 13, 2011 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

 

“Now, do not be upset and do not be angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life!  For these past two years there has been famine in the land and for five more years there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.  God sent me ahead of you to preserve you on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.”

 

Joseph was able to understand that God had orchestrated everything that happened to him in order that the salvation of his family would be accomplished.  He was not upset by the fact that God would choose to use him this way.  Joseph had learned to accept the sovereignty of God over his life.  May we learn as well to accept what God wants to do with us for the glory of His name and the benefit of others.

 

Many of you have prayed for His Hands to have a larger building for the House of Hope, which is our unwed mother’s and baby home.  We are probably within a month of being able to move into that new facility.  Please pray that this new facility will meet the government’s requirements for organizations such as this one, that we can do more to meet needs in the name of the Lord in the Kaohsiung area.

 

John and several others missionaries here on island will be attending two weeks of strategic church planting training.  This training is called Jonathan Training.  It helps to develop a church planting strategy specific for your people group in the area in which you minister.  John will be home only on the weekend during those two weeks.  Please pray for Cheryl and the children while he gone.

 

Please join us in praying for the people of Japan as they begin rebuild their lives following the disastrous earthquake that happened this past Friday.  Please pray as well for the missionaries and other Christians in Japan to use this as an opportunity to share the love of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

Thank you for praying for the wedding service that John performed.  Everything went very well.  We hope that the service was a testimony to the non-Christians who attended.

 

We are very grateful for your continued prayers and support as we strive to serve our LIVING God here in Taiwan.

 

God Bless,

 

John & Cheryl
