Dear Family & Friends,
And the Lord God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” The man said, “The woman whom you gave me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.” So the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman replied, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.” Genesis 3:11-13 NET
Adam & Eve, just like us, usually look to put the blame on someone else. We don’t want to own up to our wrong doing and accept the consequences. They both knew that eating the fruit was forbidden, but they ate it anyway. Because of their choice to sin all of creation has a judgement upon it. Cheryl and Samantha recently shared the account of the temptation and fall of man with two of the mom’s staying at the His Hands’ House of Hope. After hearing the account, they had some very good questions. Pray that we will be bold as we share the gospel with the Taiwanese. Pray as well for the moms at the House of Hope to accept the truth of the Gospel.
Tomorrow will be the second meeting of the discipleship class. The class was given the assignment to share a portion of the Gospel message or part of what they had learned with someone that week. Besides studying the Bible together we will be learning to share the Gospel and serve others together. Pray that each person will desire to learn to be a true disciple.
This past week our children had fall break. We spent part of the week at the beach relaxing and visiting with fellow missionaries. We had good time swimming, snorkeling, searching out tide pools, eating together, and more. We also spent some time discussing ministry together. We always enjoy learning from each other. Join us in thanking God for this time of encouragement and rest.
Your prayers are very important to us. Keep up the good work.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
