January 15, 2012 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

 

“Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name! Make known his accomplishments among the nations!” Ps. 105:1

God expected Israel to tell the gentile nations all about the wonderful deeds He had done for them.  Proclaiming God’s deeds glorifies His name, and draws people to Him.  God expects the same of us as Christians today.  We are to testify of God’s glory by telling how He works in our lives.  These testimonies are used by the Holy Spirit to bring people to faith in Jesus.  Pray that the Christians in Taiwan and everywhere will desire to glorify God through proclaiming His great and mighty deeds.

 

The priesthood of all believers is an important concept for Christians to grasp if they are going to become active disciples and disciple makers.  This is an area that many Christians struggle with, and the Taiwanese do as well.  Please pray for wisdom as to how to teach and live out this important teaching.

 

This past Wednesday evening one our neighbors, Kevin Wagner, was baptized into Christ.  His daughter has been attending Wednesday services with us for several months.  His wife and sister-in-law have been attending Sunday worship as well this fall.  Kevin has some tough challenges to overcome in his life, but all of these will bring glory to God.  Please pray for Kevin and his family as they grow in Christ together.

 

Today we are reporting to the Keensburg Christian Church in Keensburg, IL.  Next week we will be at the Calumet Street Christian Church in Centralia, IL.  Please pray that our reporting will honor God as we share how God has changed people’s lives in Taiwan through our partnership together.  Please pray that we will find churches and individuals that will be able to provide the extra support we are needing to raise.

 

Please pray for John as he continues to preach the next three Wed. evenings at Parkview.  Pray that God be glorified as people are encouraged and challenged through the Word of God.

 

Thank you for all the prayers.

 

God Bless,

 

John & Cheryl
