Dear Family & Friends,
“For everything there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth.” Ecclesiastes 3:1
This verse gets quoted at many different occasions in life. Some are pleasant and others are difficult. There is one that is the same for each of these occasions. Each separate occasion gives us the opportunity to recognize God’s sovereignty in our lives and therefore give Him the honor that is due Him. We need to learn to praise God in all circumstances. We need to learn to be grateful in all circumstances as well. When we do these two things our lives become a blessing to God and all those around us. This allows God to use all our circumstances to draw others to Himself. Pray with us to learn to be grateful and to praise God in all circumstances.
We are thankful for the blessing that the Morrison Academy has been in the lives of our children. On Saturday we shared in the first commencement exercises for the Kaohsiung campus. The student body, family members, faculty, & staff all rejoiced together and gave thanks to God for the blessing of a high school campus in Kaohsiung. Please remember to pray for all the graduates that you know as they transition to college, work, or future studies. May they remain faithful to God and do great things in His name.
We ask that you pray for the family of Dorothy Elmore of the Latona Church of Christ. Dorothy passed away due to a stroke this past Friday. Her family has loved us as if we were a part of their family since we moved to serve at Latona in 1988.
Please pray for Augi as he has just moved to Ilan for the next month to assist Chris & Samantha Sanford as well as the Home of God’s Love. We hope this time in Ilan will give a fuller experience for his internship. Augi will return to Taichung to help with Sports and English camp before heading back to the US in late July.
We will be flying out on our Monday morning to begin our Home Assignment time in the US for the summer. We will be visiting with Nathanael first for a couple of days. Please remember to pray for the Edwards and Pagel families as they travel to the US this week as well.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
