Dear Family & Friends,
On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, ‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.’” John 7:37-38 NET
Jesus is the source of life giving water, a water that quenches the thirst of our soul for eternity. Jesus promises if we come to Him and drink that we will have rivers of living water flow from within us. This refers to His Spirit that is promised to all who believe and are baptized in Him. For Christians this is the source of our strength to face challenges. This is the source of the joy in the midst of bitterness. This is the source of all we need for life. This is what we need to share with the world that is dying of thirst around us today. Please join me in praying for opportunities to share the gift of life with others.
This week is Sports & English Camp. The above scriptures is part of what we will be teaching this week to the campers. Please pray that many of them will accept the invitation that Jesus offers to come and drink.
Phyllis Watkins has had a rough couple of weeks after developing an infection. She is doing much better now. She is now able to begin doing therapy again to regain lost speech and strength.
Nathanael is working for a few more weeks in Tennessee and then will begin his trek to Taiwan. He plans to attend two weddings and visit with Bethany and her family before leaving for Taiwan at the end of the month. Please pray for him as he makes these transitions.
Thank you for the prayers.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
