Dear Family & Friends,
“This is the disciple who testifies about these things and has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” John 21:24-25
While in Israel we traveled to many places where Jesus performed miracles and taught people. There were times when our guide would say something like, “As far as we know Jesus went to this city for ministry.” He also mentioned the verses above that are from John’s Gospel. This caused me, John, to wonder what might have happened in other places. One day it dawned on me as the guide was explaining connections to the Old Testament and the culture that I had a lot more to learn about what was recorded of Jesus’ ministry. I had no need of knowing what might fill those other books. God had already provided all that is necessary to know Jesus as Lord and Savior and to keep me busy learning all my life. Join us in committing to learning more about the Savior’s life and ministry everyday.
Our team is hosting an event over Chinese New Year break for students that have been a part of S&E Camp before. It will be on Feb. 1st. We hope to encourage the youth in their faith as well as to launch the I Will Follow Youtube channel that day. We ask that you pray that God knowing the hearts of us all will draw the right students to this event.
Chris & Samantha Sanford returned from a short home assignment in the States on January 15th. They returned needing to find a different house to rent and move by the 25th. God has provided a house. Now they are trying to move. Chris has been sick. They all have jet-lag. They have three children 5 and under and Sam is almost 8 months pregnant. Please pray for them as they continue through these transitions.
We have received an invitation to go to the Lin’s home for Chinese New Year for a meal again this year. This is Samantha Sanford’s family. We ask that you pray we will recognize ways to be light to their family while we are with them that evening. Please pray as well for all Christians in Taiwan to use this as an opportunity to witness to their families.
Thank you for your prayers.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
