March 16, 2015 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

“Now to him who by the power that is working within us is able to do far beyond all that we ask or think, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”  Eph. 3:20-21

When you read this verse how do you feel?  What do you think about?  Do you feel like God is great and powerful, able to do anything?  Do you think about the miracles in the Bible or something that He has done in your own life or in your family?  These things come to mind for most of us, but when we pray and plan do we have these things in mind?  Are we praying with God’s power in mind or our own limitations?  If God can do more than we ask or think, then why not ask; go all out and ask God to do what is impossible with us?  Why not ask God to change the heart of a nation by starting a church planting movement or a disciple making movement?  Why not ask God to provide the needed funds to build an orphanage?  Why not ask God to give you the strength, words, & actions to lead your best friend to Christ?  These are the prayers that represent a faith that glorifies God.

We praise God that little Nelfa is now at home.  They still owe over $2,400 to the hospital, for which they have signed a two week promissory note.  Please continue to pray for her recovery and the final portion of the bill.

Pray for little Thunder at Taiwan Xi En.  He is one year old, but is still very small.  He has several health problems that his doctors don’t know how to correct.  He may need to see a pediatric urologist to help with his kidneys, but there are none in Taiwan.  Xi En needs guidance about how to proceed for Thunder’s care.  Pray for God to provide the right doctors in the right place at the right time to help this little guy.

We received news that a dear old gentlemen passed this week.  He became a Christian later in life largely due to the influence of his children and grandchildren.  His big smile and meek manner will be greatly missed here on earth, but greatly appreciated in heaven.  Please pray for the Wu family as they both mourn and rejoice at his passing.

John will be sharing the story of the crucifixion with the Wednesday noon discipleship group.  Pray that those present will understand what Jesus did for them on the cross.  Pray that they will be confronted with their need for His sacrifice.

Thank you for your prayers.

1.  Praise God that Nelfa is home.  Ask God to provide the remainder of the needed funds.

2.  Please pray for Yi Xiang as Xi En seeks God’s guidance as to his care.

3.  Please pray for the Wu family as they mourn the loss of Wu Baba and rejoice that he has gained his reward.

4.  Please pray for the Wednesday noon discipleship group as they hear the story of the crucifixion.
