Dear Family & Friends,
“Isaac said to his father Abraham, ‘My father?’ ‘What is it, my son?’ he replied. “Here is the fire and the wood,’ Isaac said, ‘but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?’ ‘God will provide for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,’ Abraham replied. The two of them continued on together.” Gen. 22:7-8 NET
Today the sermon Chris Sanford preached, and his wife translated, was concerning the faith of Abraham, demonstrated in the sacrifice of Isaac. The key to Abraham being able to sacrifice was His faith that God would provide. God would give him the son of his promise even if it meant sacrifice and resurrection. It was a faith of complete dependance on God’s power. We need to display such faith in our lives and prayers. Pray with us with a faith of complete dependance on God that He will use us to bring salvation to the people of Kaohsiung.
Our team, as well as a few other missionaries in Taiwan, will be taking Jonathan Training in November. This training helps a team to prepare a detailed plan to make disciples of a target people group. Join us in praying that this training will make a great impact upon our ministry in Taiwan.
Our co-worker, Paul, has been training students in a nearby land how to use story telling to teach children and adults alike. He called this week saying that he was greatly impressed by their ability to tell the stories from the Word. The were going out over the weekend to put what they had learned to practice. Please pray that they will have great results from their efforts in sharing the truth through stories.
There is one mom living at the House of Hope at this time. She could give birth at anytime. We ask that you pray for her to have a safe delivery. Pray as well for her not to bee too anxious as she waits.
We certainly covet your prayers over all aspects of our life and ministry.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
