Dear Family & Friends,
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ. For he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may be holy and unblemished in his sight in love. He did this by predestining us to adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will – to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace that he lavished on us in all wisdom and insight. Ephesians 1:3-8
This is one of those passages that we really enjoy to read and meditate on. Just think God so desires to bless us that He chose to make it possible through Jesus even before the creation of our world. Please join us in praising God for the His great love for us and His plan to bless us in Christ Jesus.
Today during worship at Eternal Light, the youth group will share about their experiences during their short mission trip last weekend. Pray that they will be inspired to continue to share the gospel with others.
Thank you for praying for volunteers to help lead the moms that stay at the House of Hope. Cheryl had a few good meetings this past week and is on the way to having a group of ladies that will commit to spending time each week with the mom’s. Please continue to pray as they work out their methods of building relationships and sharing the truth of of God’s Word.
Thank you for praying for Philip and Bethany as they prepare for the birth of twins! Because their family will be growing so quickly they need to find a larger house and car. As you know, this means making changes in the family budget. They would really like to move sooner rather than later due to Bethany’s ability to pack and for there to be less stress later in the pregnancy. Please pray for them to have wisdom as they look for the right place to move as well as the right car to buy.
John will soon be starting a discipleship class with the brothers and sisters at the Kaohsiung Good News Christian Church. Please pray for John to have wisdom as he teaches and trains. We hope to always be training disciples that will disciple others.
Thank you for praying.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
