Dear Family & Friends,
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Ps. 127:3 NLT
Our children whether sons or daughters are certainly God’s gifts and blessings to us. They are also a trust. God is giving to us the most precious gift, a life that is meant to bring honor and glory to God. When our little children frustrate us or step on our toes, or newly polished shoes, it might help to remember how precious they are to God. The same thing goes for the head strong teenager or pre-teen that is trying to figure out life and how to be respectful while making their own decisions. Each and everyone is precious in the eyes of God. Pray that we keep this in mind with our own children and the one God brings to us for periods of time to invest in as well. Join us in praying that Alaina & Nikki’s parents will see that their children are gifts from God for them to care for and enjoy as they grow up.
Pray for Jon Ralls, our field coordinator. He has swelling in his neck that appears to be in the lymph nodes. He was supposed to have a PET scan this past week, but the insurance company was unwilling to pay for the scan. The doctor is trying to persuade the insurance company to pay for the test. Pray that the insurance company will allow payment for the test. Pray as well that Jon be healed by the Lord and he not have cancer or something else.
Pray for August Cox, a young man coming to Taiwan to intern with our team. He is ready to come except for his visa. He has applied, but now is waiting to receive it. Pray that his visa application will be processed quickly so that he can arrive soon.
Continue to pray for the Home of God’s Love to be able to keep their adoption license. A head social worker still needs to be hired to fulfill the requirements of the government. It is difficult to find someone that meets the criteria. Pray the Lord will provide the right person.
Pray for Bethany and the little one she is carrying. Her due date has past. They will be inducing this weekend. Pray that everything will go well whether she comes naturally or through being induced.
Thank you for your prayers.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
