February 5, 2017 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

“‘Take an offering for the Lord. Let everyone who has a willing heart bring an offering to the Lord:’  … Everyone whose heart stirred him to action and everyone whose spirit was willing came and brought the offering for the Lord for the work of the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.  Every woman who was skilled spun with her hands and brought what she had spun, blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, and all the women whose heart stirred them to action and who were skilled spun goats’ hair.”  

Exodus 35:5b, 21, 25 – 26

Willingness of heart is wonderful feeling.  When you honestly are completely willing to give of what you have whether money, time, skill, or energy it feels really good.  It is also contagious.  That is what happened with the Israelites and the giving for the Tabernacle.  The people were instructed to give as their heart was willing and they did.  It is recorded in chapter 36 of Exodus that they gave so much they had to be told to stop.  That is what happens when people really desire give.  Imagine today if we fully gave our hearts to the work God has put before each of us what would be accomplished.  People would hear the truth of God’s word and then they would see it lived out before them as a testimony to its truth.  Lives would be changed for eternity and God would be glorified.  Join us in praying for a more willing heart to serve as God desires.

The S&E Chinese New Year event went very well.  There were approximately 25 youth who attended the event.  Some of them were brought by friends for the first time.  We were encouraged by their willingness to participate in worship and small group prayer.  Please continue to pray for all of these youth to continue to grow in Christ.

We are beginning to put a lot of effort into the planning of this summer’s S&E camp.  This Tuesday will be a planning meeting that will lay the foundation for much of what will happen during camp.  We will have two weeks again this summer:  July 9-15 & 16-22.  The theme for camp will be “No Fear”.  Join us in prayer for all the preparations and those who be both campers and faculty.

The I Will Follow Youtube is up and running.  Our hope is that the channel will help our campers and graduates and other Christians as they desire to follow Jesus.  Please pray for the channel to be effective.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hckw4S_bSc4

Thank you for praying with us!

God Bless,

John & Cheryl
