May 22, 2011 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

 

“But Ruth replied, ‘Stop urging me to abandon you! For wherever you go, I will go.  Wherever you live, I will live.  Your people will become my people, and your God will become my God.  Wherever you die, I will die – and there I will be buried.  May the Lord punish me severely if I do not keep my promise!  Only death will be able to separate me from you!’  When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to dissuade her. So the two of them journeyed together until they arrived in Bethlehem.’”  Ruth 1:16-19a

The above passage is a very familiar passage of scripture that we often use at weddings.  We do so because of the love and commitment that we see expressed in these few words.  May we learn to be even more committed to our Lord, God, and King – Jesus, than Ruth was to Naomi.

 

Thank you for praying for the Kairos course last week.  The course went very well.  Scott Pagel also was there to help facilitate.  He did a great job with an activity and with sharing why and how we can be involved in the harvest through our offerings no matter how much we earn.  Please pray for the Come Christian Church as they have this Sunday and next left to finish the Kairos Course.

 

Today, John will meet with the leaders from the Kaohsiung Good News Christian Church after morning worship.  Please pray that John will both encourage and challenge them through the scriptures in preparation for all God has in store for them this coming year.

 

During this past week we have received word of several people that we know that are sick or have family that are ailing, much like our own situation.  We are grateful for the prayers on behalf of Cheryl’s family, and everyone is doing better at this time.  We ask that you lift up Mark and Julie Richison, the preacher at Parkview Christian Church & his wife, in prayer.  Mark had his gallbladder removed last week and Julie has been sick over the past few weeks after returning from a trip to Central America. Pray for our friends’ daughter, Shiloh Drake, who has had reoccurring bouts with high fever, that they find out the cause soon.   Please pray as well for the family of John Fuller, who died recently as well.  John was a minister of the Gospel and a great supporter of missions.  He will be greatly missed.

 

Thank you for praying for all the preparations for our home service time.  Parkview has provided us with a furnished house.  A van has been found and purchased as well.  People are volunteering to help us in different ways.  Thank you to everyone that has played a role in providing so much for us.  Thank you to Cheryl Bassett for heading up the cleaning and furnishing of the house.  Thank you to Jerry Nottingham for heading up the search for a van.  We can’t begin to list everyone, but we are grateful.  It is truly humbling to be blessed by so many.

 

God Bless,

 

John & Cheryl
