March 20, 2011 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

 

“During that long period of time the king of Egypt died, and the Israelites groaned because of the slave labor. They cried out, and their desperate cry because of their slave labor went up to God.  God heard their groaning, God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob, God saw the Israelites, and God understood….”  Exodus 2:23-25

 

God heard, remembered, saw, and understood.  These are verbs found in verses 24 & 25.  These verses remind us that God is listening to us and watching us in our situation, but not only that.  He also understands our situation and knows what we need and when we should receive it.  May we learn to be faithful as God watches out for us and provides for us.

 

Please pray for Paul, our co-worker, as he counsels in both the elementary school and jr. high school in the area near the Eternal Light church building.  He has gained the respect & trust from the school administration at both schools.  Please pray that his counseling will provide opportunities to minister to families in the area.

 

Team Expansion has a few teams in Japan.  One of these teams is located in an area that has been affected by the earthquake and tsunamis.  They are presently trying to move all women and children out of these areas.  The team that works farther south in Osaka has organized well for assisting with relief efforts.  Please pray that everyone will be safe and that their efforts will be effective in saving the lost.

 

John and others are continuing to prepare for the Jonathan training that begins on the 28th of March.  This training will most likely stretch most of us in our thinking about how to reach our target people.  Please pray that this time will bring glory to God.

 

In the last few months, the His Hands team has been seeking placement for one of our babies who has significant special needs at this point in her life.  We are not sure of her future but know that our awesome God is in control of all that concerns her.  If any of you know of a family who could take this beautiful baby girl into their home please, please let us know.  We affectionately call her Ladybug, since at this time she only has a Chinese name.  Thanks for your prayers for our precious Ladybug.

 

We are grateful to you for praying with us about these concerns.

 

God Bless,

 

John & Cheryl
