Dear Family & Friends,
“This is the conquering power that has conquered the world: our faith. Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” I John 5:4-5 NET
The object of our faith is so important. If I were the object of my faith then there would be so little that I could accomplish, but faith in Jesus means that all things are possible. We can live in the knowledge that through Jesus we will overcome the problems and pressures of this life. We can live in the knowledge of the victory over sin and death. We can live victoriously, because Jesus has already won the victory for us through His death, burial, and resurrection. Please pray that we will be able to communicate clearly to the people of Taiwan about the victory that is already ours in Jesus.
May Wu took John to visit a lady in the hospital with colon cancer. He sister is a Christian and attends May’s discipleship group. Her name is Jing Shing. She has begun to place her faith in Jesus, but so many people around her keep encouraging her to rely on their traditional gods. They bring her charms and things to bless her. Pray that May will have the words to express to Jing Shing that Jesus is all she needs.
Nelfa continues to slowly improve. She started speaking this past week. She very simply expressed that she had some discomfort. She also tried to sing her favorite song. The translated title is “The Glory Is Yours Alone”. Continue to lift Nelfa and her family up in prayer.
We ask that you continue to lift of the adoption situation here in Taiwan. The process has really slowed down. Where as Taiwan Xi En has had three babies go to their forever families during the past two months, all these babies were over a year old with two of them nearing two years of age. The other ministries that Xi En partners with, the Home of God’s Love and Ray of Hope, are experiencing the same issues. The available spaces for babies are being used up even with several being cared for by Christian foster families. Pray that the adoption process will move more quickly and that more families will be willing to care for babies.
We have begun our search for an apartment in Taichung. We ask that you pray we will find the place that God has prepared for us. After a little investigation we have found that housing will be much more expensive than here in Kaohsiung. We will probably have to double what we spend now.
Thank you for praying for us as we transition to a new place of ministry.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
