December 9, 2012 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

 

“Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household to the land that I will show you. … So Abram left, just as the Lord had told him to do,…’”  NET Genesis 12:1 & 4b

 

People look at Abram or Abraham in many different ways.  Some question why he was called the father of faith after seeing all of his times of weakness.  Others just marvel at his willingness to sacrifice his son.  While others just try to understand what it took to follow this call in chapter 12 to leave his family and friends behind.  The way it is recorded here it seems so simple, but we know it was difficult.  Yet, he obeyed.  What is it that God has laid on your heart to do?  What act of obedience has God called you to?  No matter how simple it seems it is always a battle within of serving God’s will or our own.  Which will you choose today?  Let’s pray for each other to choose God’s will.

 

Little Sunshine continues to be in the hospital.  Her oxygen tube was removed on Saturday.  She has to work really hard to breathe on her own.  Pray for those taking care of her to see the value God places on life through seeing the love of those from His Hands who visit and care for her.

 

John has been trying to help a man that used to attend the Good News congregation, Fu-hai.  He has had blood clots in his legs, some heart issues, and possibly other problems as well.  There are a couple of other people that are trying to help him, tool.  Since, he has not worked for some time and he is only 58 years old, it has been difficult for him to receive any government assistance.  We ask that you pray for Fu-hai’s health to be restored and for those trying to help him to have wisdom and endurance.

 

This past week we, John & Cheryl, had conversation with Mr. & Mrs. Lin.  They have a car detailing business near where we live.  Mr. Lin shared with us about his beliefs.  We ask that you pray with us about how to share with the Lins about the one true God.  Pray as well that God will provide other gospel conversations with other people.

 

Last week Shu Mei’s father was baptized.  Shu Mei was baptized in September.  Her father’s health is not good, so this has concerned her.  Now she says that a weight has been lifted since she knows that he will be in heaven with her mom, who was a Christian.  Praise the Lord!

Thank you for your prayers and concern.

 

God Bless,

 

John & Cheryl
