Dear Family & Friends,
“Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life. For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.” Romans 6:4-5
These verses speak of our hope in Jesus Christ. We can have a new life through the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without Jesus’ sacrifice and God’s glorious power through the raising of Jesus from the dead we would still be dead in our sins. Praise the Lord that we can, through faith and baptism, be united with Christ in his death and resurrection. Join us in praying that the hope of the resurrection of Jesus be made known to all in Taiwan.
We are rejoicing for the several youth that made public decisions this past week at camp. Five of those students were baptized in Christ’s death and resurrection. Their names are Aaron, Frank, Michael, Scott, and Yvonne. Pray that each of these youth that have decided to follow Jesus will be given strength through the Holy Spirit to grow and be faithful.
We are grateful for the staff that came from the US & the Philippines, our Taiwanese co-workers, and our summer interns for all their hard work and effort. We, the missionaries, could not run this camp without them. We are also very grateful for all the prayer support that was received as well.
Thank you for the prayers and concern for Cheryl & her family since the death of her grandfather. Everyone was blessed by the service that was held on Friday. Cheryl has been able to speak to some of her family, which has helped her as well. We do ask that you continue to pray for all of the family, but especially her grandmother.
The staff of Taiwan Xi En is working hard to prepare for the big inspection that is just a month away. Many files have to be checked, the building needs to be in good repair and up to code, and everyone has to be briefed on how to answer questions that deal with their particular role in the ministry. John too, will have to answer questions as the chairman of the board. We ask that you pray for everyone as we prepare for this important inspection.
Thank you for your prayers!
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
