Dear Family & Friends,
“Indeed! All lives are mine – the life of the father as well as the life of the son is mine. The one who sins will die. … That man is righteous; he will certainly live, declares the sovereign Lord.” Ezekiel 18:4, 9b “For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Isn’t it good to know that lives belong to God? He, and only He, will decide who lives and dies; who is righteous and who is a sinner. Of course Romans tells that we are all sinners and therefore worthy of death, but it also tells that God wants to give us the gift of eternal life through Jesus. When you look at a crowd of people do you wonder how many of them God still sees as sinners condemned to death and how many He sees as righteous, blessed with eternal life? May we all not only wonder who is saved, but may we act, that those who aren’t will have the opportunity to become saved. Please pray that all Christians will take God’s command to be His witnesses seriously.
This Sunday afternoon we will be meeting with the missions team from Christ’s Church of Effingham. We will be giving them a report on the work God is doing in Taiwan. Please pray that God will direct all of us so as to know whether we should partner together in His work in Taiwan.
The National Missionary Convention will be November 17th – 20th. John has been asked to assist in three workshops. Please pray for John, as well as all others who will be presenting at the convention this year.
Presently His Hands has three moms living at the House of Hope and all will deliver this fall. Please pray for the staff as they seek to minister to these ladies. His Hands still has connections to some of the moms they have helped before. Some of these ladies are in need of care and guidance. Please ask God to give the staff wisdom as they try to give them this care and guidance.
Thank you for praying with us.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
