Dear Family & Friends,
“I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Gal. 2:20
In this world, there are always plenty of things to keep us busy and to draw our attention away from what our main purpose should be: living for Christ. As we are here with Bethany and Philip, we get to enjoy all of the excitement of the Stanley Cup finals. Fans in Abbotsford have a tradition of lining up along a certain street or driving up and down the street yelling and blowing their horns in order to celebrate a win. While watching all of this going on I, John, became convicted of how easy it is for people to get excited about a game, yet how little we celebrate when someone comes to the Lord. Then a car came by that had written on the window, “This is what we live for!” Wow! Immediately, the above scripture came to mind. We need to live a life that is all out for Jesus. Pray with us that we will live a life that says, “Jesus, is what we live for.”
We are rejoicing that last Sunday two brothers were baptized at the Good News congregation. We watched these boys grow up over the years it was great to see them take this step. Please pray for them as they walk before their peers as a witness for Christ.
We have enjoyed our time with Bethany & Philip. Monday, we will be driving down to Seattle to visit with some friends before heading on to Indianapolis on Tuesday. Please remember us in your prayers as we continue to travel.
Please pray for Shiloh Drake. She is seven years old. She has had problems with a reoccurring fever since last November. Finally, they found the source of the fever. She has a kidney infection. Please pray that the doctors will find the reason for the kidney infection and that she will be able to completely get rid of this infection.
Thank you for giving us your time as you pray for these matters.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
