Dear Family & Friends,
“While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was greatly upset because he saw the city was full of idols. So he was addressing the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles in the synagogue, and in the marketplace every day those who happened to be there.” Acts 17:16-17 NET Bible
When Paul went to Athens he became greatly disturbed due to all the idol worship he saw. He wanted that worship to be directed to the one true God. He, therefore, set out to do the only thing He could to change the situation, share the Gospel with whomever would listen. When we see people in Taiwan worshipping at the temples we have this same desire. While here in the States when we see people more concerned for their position in the community or the fate of some sports team than their soul we feel the same. Will you join us in praying for the US to wake up to her need of the Savior, Jesus. Will you also join us in witnessing this week for Christ.
The Eternal Light congregation is planning an out reach event for April 8th. They are inviting the people that they are presently ministering to, through cell groups, counseling, youth group, guitar classes, tutoring, and others. Many of these people were invited to the New Year’s activity as well. Please pray for these plans as well as the hearts of those attending to be touched by the Holy Spirit.
Chris & Samantha Sanford are getting along well with little Hosanna. They have been blessed by having Sam’s parents with them most of the time since the birth. Their presence has provided many opportunities for Chris & Sam, as well as Christian friends, to witness concerning the gospel. Please pray that Sam’s parents will be convicted of their need to know the one true God.
Several weeks ago we asked that you pray for Allison Snyder a teenager that had a secondary infection following a surgery. She has now developed another bacterial infection. She will need to have another surgery late this coming Tuesday in order to clean her wound. Please continue to pray for Allison and her family.
Please pray for Mark Wankel of the Parkview Christian Church in Mt. Carmel, IL. He is in Thailand on a mission trip where he has taught at a training school for Christian workers. He will also be assisting at a medical clinic in the mountains. Cheryl Bassett will also be heading to Thailand to work with the medical clinic. Please pray for her as well.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
