Dear Family & Friends,
“Now God who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow. You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous on every occasion, which is producing through us thanksgiving to God, …” II Cor. 9:10-11
Having just celebrated Thanksgiving, we have had an opportunity to think about how God has blessed us in so many ways. He uses our gratefulness for His faithfulness to encourage and challenge us to pass the blessings on to others. What is extremely challenging to me in this passage is that Paul writes that God will always provide sufficiently for us that we can in all situations be generous to others. Not just sometimes, but on every occasion! Why do we sometimes get concerned about giving to others if God has already given to us what He wants us to give? Join us in giving thanksgiving to God through being generous in every opportunity.
We praise God for the wonderful fellowship and food that we enjoyed this past week as we met with our mission family at the Home of God’s Love. We give thanks for our family that support us and love us sacrificially. We also give thanks for each of you that God uses to provide for needs and our ministry. It is your generosity that makes it possible for us to be a blessing to people here in Taiwan.
Tonight John will meet with the Jang family for discipleship. John has been praying that during the past two weeks Mr. Jang will have missed our meeting together, therefore producing a greater desire to know God. Tonight we will be discussing the death and burial of Jesus. Pray for the Holy Spirit to be working on everyone’s heart.
During the next few weeks our team will have different opportunities to share about the birth of Jesus and the gospel. Some of these opportunities will be with people we know and meet with regularly. We often will have opportunities to share about Christmas at schools with students and teachers as well. Join us in praying for the Holy Spirit to guide us as we use these opportunities to witness about Jesus.
Thank you for praying with us.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
