December 4, 2016 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die.   For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.  Phil. 1:20-21

Paul once again challenges and encourages at the same time.  He is a prisoner and yet finds ways to be a witness for Jesus Christ, and therefore to be encouraged.  Is it too difficult for us to find ways in our daily lives to be a witness for Jesus?  Are our problems too big to for us to see through the eyes of faith how God can use them for His glory and our good?  Paul being faced with the possibility of a death sentence was not overcome with grief or fear, but instead was pushed forward to be a greater witness.  He was an excellent example of a true disciple.  He realized that His daily life was to be lived Christ, and that when death did come it would be a great blessing.  Oh what a challenge to live each day without regret with an eye on future glory.  Join us in praying for the the strength and wisdom to live as Christ.

We found out last Sunday evening that Mr. Jang’s mom was in intensive care after having a stroke.  John went to the hospital with the family this week spending time praying with the family and Jang Mama.  Jang Mama had been bedridden for sometime.  She also was baptized, we don’t know the extent of her faith.  She is in God’s hands.  We are taking this opportunity to bring some comfort to the family and provide a good witness.  Pray that the words we say and the attitude we, Lucy, and Jack have toward the family at this time will draw the Jang family to God.

Our family like last year will be participating in an outreach to the Chung Gang High School.  A wife of one of the Morrison teachers teaches at this high school.  The group will have the opportunity to touch the lives of 700-800 students and teachers.  The outreach is centered around how we celebrate Christmas.  We will play games, share a presentation about the history and traditions of Christmas, and share the story of Christ’s birth.  Join us in praising God for this opportunity.

Our team families will have several opportunities to share the love of Christ during this season.  Many of our families will invite people into our homes to share a meal and a gospel presentation as well as some of our Christmas traditions.  We are in the process of planning a few outreaches such as this.  Pray with us as we plan and invite people to come and share in the blessings of a meal, fellowship, and the love of Christ.

Thank you for praying.

God Bless,

John & Cheryl
