Dear Family & Friends,
“Jesus replied, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” John 14:6 NET
The verse above was one of the many verses that the campers memorized this week. Jesus’ statement about being the only way to the father or to heaven really makes waves in a society like Taiwan. All of the major religions here talk about, “The Way,” in their teachings. Most do not claim to be the only way, possibly a better way, but not the only way. One camper had gone to Buddhist camp last year. She told her mom that she wanted to return S&E Camp next summer. Another girl did not want to memorize scripture at first because she was not a Christian. Later on she did memorize scripture without complaining. We hope these girls were able to see that there is truth in the words they were learning. Please pray that we can show the true Way to the people of Taiwan.
We had 140 campers this week for camp. We had one baptism and few others that were talking about making a decision for Christ. There were several others that talked about desiring to learn more about Jesus. They were certainly questioning what they had been taught before, as well as what they were taught this week. We also saw return campers who came back as staff and older campers step up as leaders. Please pray for all our campers to continue to desire a relationship with Jesus.
Please pray for the Dzao family. Grandpa Dzao died after hitting his head when falling. He and his wife were in New York visiting one of their daughters when the accident happened. Please pray for the family and the Good News congregation as they mourn his loss.
His Hands is starting their first case under the new adoption laws. His Hands is beginning to work under the license of The Home of God’s Love in order to process adoptions. Please pray that this case will be accepted by the courts and that all goes smoothly.
This coming week we will be attending the annual Taiwan Missionary Fellowship Conference. We look forward to some good teaching and fellowship during this week.
Thank you for praying.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
