Dear Family & Friends,
Provoked mightily by all this, the Chief Priest and those on his side, mainly the sect of Sadducees, went into action, arrested the apostles and put them in the town jail. But during the night an angel of God opened the jailhouse door and led them out. He said, “Go to the Temple and take your stand. Tell the people everything there is to say about this Life.” Promptly obedient, they entered the Temple at daybreak and went on with their teaching. Acts 5:17-20
Wow! The Apostles, just being miraculously released from prison, were told to go straight back to teaching in the temple. As soon as they could they did just as they were instructed, knowing they would arrested again. How many of us, after just being turned down by someone to hear are testimony, go home with our tail between our legs? Pray with us for the Christians in Taiwan and ourselves to have a passion to save the lost.
Thank you to everyone that prayed while John was preaching on Wednesday evenings at Parkview. The series seemed to be well received. Please pray that the message of the series will have affected many hearts.
Chris and Samantha Sanford are in the hospital waiting for little Hosanna’s arrival. Sam is pretty uncomfortable. She has a lot of swelling and fluctuating blood pressure. They have given Sam meds to induce labor but she is not progressing the way the doctors would like her to. Please pray that Sam can have the baby naturally and soon, and that Hosanna and mommy will both be safe through everything.
Thank you for praying for Allison Snyder’s infection to be controlled. She was supposed to go home from the hospital today! She still has more recuperation time from her surgery and the infection but has made great progress in the last few days.
Today we reported at the Old Union Christian Church in Poseyville, IN, where Cheryl attended in High School. We had a great time. We will be reporting at Scott Ave. Christian Church in Newton, IL next week and then in Flora, IL the following week. We will also be traveling to Homecoming at Johnson Bible College, now John University, later this month.
Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
