Dear Family & Friends,
When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him holding a drawn sword. Joshua approached him and asked him, “Are you on our side or allied with our enemies?” He answered, “Truly I am the commander of the Lord’s army. Now I have arrived!” Joshua bowed down with his face to the ground and asked, “What does my master want to say to his servant?” Joshua 5:13-14
Joshua, like us, was thinking about his situation. Maybe he was hoping for assistance, so his question concerning whose side are you on makes sense to us. When he hears that this is the commander of God’s army, Joshua’s response is inspiring. He defaults his command to God’s chosen leader. He takes on the role of a servant. Join with us in praying to learn to let God take the lead in our situation through the guidance of whom He chooses.
John will be heading off early Sunday morning to Taichung to help facilitate the Kairos course at the Come Christian Church. Scott Pagel will also be coming down from Taipei to be a part of the facilitation team. John will be leading a small group discussion as well as giving a 30 minute PowerPoint presentation. Please pray for everyone to gain a proper perspective about missions and evangelism from this training.
Please pray for the ongoing ministry of His Hands, Taiwan. The new facility that His Hands is moving to is almost finished. Once they have moved into the new facility there will be more bed space for babies, and birth moms. There will also be a place for adoptive parents to stay when they come to pick-up their babies.
Please be in prayer for Cheryl’s grandparents and parents. Her grandfather was in the hospital for a few days due to a bad case of bronchitis. This meant that her parents needed to give extra care. The extra stress and lack of sleep takes its toll. Please pray that they will all regain their strength quickly.
Thank you for praying.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
1. Pray that we learn to submit to God’s leading in our lives.
