Dear Family & Friends,
“There is no one righteous, not even one, … there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.” … But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed – namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Romans 3:10b, 12c, 21-24
Passages like Romans 3 are not very popular to talk about today, because these passages remind people of their sin. Romans refers to a God that is righteous and holy and contrasts that with mankind, which in comparison to God is wicked and depraved. What people miss in Romans often is that God is also loving, forgiving, merciful, and full of grace. That is why God has provided a way for all mankind to have an opportunity to be redeemed and made righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul realized without first recognizing our need to be redeemed we would never accept God’s grace and mercy. Join us praying for the Taiwanese people to come to faith in our God. Who is righteous, holy, loving, forgiving, merciful, and full of grace.
Thank you for praying for the board meetings that John had this past week. This was John’s last board meeting for Taiwan Xi En. His term will end this January. We ask that you continue to pray that the ministry be led by the Holy Spirit as it continues to seek to serve babies, moms, and families in crisis. The ministry is working toward gaining an adoption license in the future.
John has been given the opportunity to possibly work with a local Taiwanese congregation that wants to plant a new church. They realize the need to develop a better way of discipling people. John met with two church leaders this past week and will meet with them again on Wednesday of this week. Pray that God will direct these leaders as well as John as to whether working together is God’s will.
The ministry at PSC is continuing to affect many lives. Today was the ministry’s annual meeting to report to its members & supporters. There have been several babies, women, and families helped over the past year. Little Josie is still with us. We are not certain how long she will be with us, but we will give her love and care until it is time for her to move to another place of love.
This weekend Andrew played in their final tournament of the season. They won all of their games taking home the first place trophy!
Thank you for your prayers.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
