Dear Family & Friends,
“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing. John 9:5-7
While Jesus was here on this earth He was the light shining in the darkness. He sent the blind man to wash and he returned seeing. He now sends us into the darkness to shine for Him that others may see. Please pray for the us as we shine for Him in Taiwan that the darkness will be dispersed.
Please pray for Chris Sanford as he gives his testimony this Sunday afternoon at the Kaohsiung International Church, where Dave & Jeanay Stiles are serving. Please pray for those who hear his testimony to be challenged and encouraged. Pray especially that God be glorified.
We are going to be traveling a lot this winter. We are scheduled to be in a different church the next 7 Sunday mornings. This Sunday we will be at the Hardinville Christian Church. Next Sunday we will be reporting at the Keensburg Christian Church. Please pray for us as we travel, especially with winter weather, and as we share about God’s work in Taiwan.
Chris and Samantha Sanford have been in Taiwan now for a month. Sam is Taiwanese and was really looking forward to going back home. She is now experiencing some reverse culture shock. Please pray for her as she learns from these feelings that she is now experiencing. This world really is not our home, and it is our goal to help others learn that truth as we press on toward our mark.
We have written before of our financial need. Much of our need to raise support comes from a weaker US dollar. This same circumstance affects all missionaries. Several of the missionaries in Taiwan are feeling the pinch of rising prices and a lower exchange rate for our dollar. Please pray for each of us to be good stewards of the resources God chooses to bless us with.
Thank you for continuing to pray for those serving in Taiwan.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
