January 24, 2016 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

“Then an expert in the law came to him and said, ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’  Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have dens, and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.’”  Matt. 8:19-20

Jesus could always see a person’s true intention.  He was able to get to the heart of the matter.  When the expert of the law made his declaration, Jesus knew the uncertainty of following from place to place would be difficult for this man.  Jesus wanted him to know what the cost would be for him to actually do what he claimed.  There are things in life that are difficult for each person that desires to be a disciple of Jesus.  What is it that you have trouble placing at the feet of Jesus in order to whole heartedly follow Him as an obedient disciple?  Pray for us as each day we desire to once again commit ourselves fully to following Jesus.

We are praising God that the Home of God’s Love was able to hire a head social worker.  We are still waiting from to hear for certain from the government that her credentials and experience do satisfy the requirements.  Hopefully, this will mean that the Home of God’s Love will be able to keep their adoption license.

Jon Ralls was not able to have a PET scan this past week.  He was able to have a CT scan on Jan. 22nd.  He is still waiting to hear the results.  Hopefully, there are no other places that show signs of cancer or some other problem and that the lymph nodes in his neck are decreasing in size.

This Sunday we will have guests at our house church.  May Wu and two others from her discipleship group will be visiting from Kaohsiung.  May’s sister and husband that live nearby us will be joining us for lunch.  May’s sister & brother-in-law are not Christians yet.  Pray that today will be just the beginning of our relationship with them.  We hope to point them to Jesus.

We also are rejoicing with Philip and Bethany as they now have their fourth daughter.  She was born on the 17th of January.  Her name is Amelia Jasmine White.  Thank you for praying for them as they adjust to life with four little ones.

Thank you for your prayers.

God Bless,

John & Cheryl
