August 27, 2017 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

“But above all pursue his kingdom  and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.”  Matt. 6:33-34

Sometimes it is necessary to remind ourselves of certain truths that we have known for a long time.  When our lives are in the midst of transition and change it is easy to concentrate more on what is changing instead of what is certain and unchanging.  God’s Word and promises never change and they never fail.  We have the idea that because our circumstances are changing we need to concentrate the most on these circumstances.  Actually, when we choose to focus on God and His truth first then our circumstances that are changing come into perspective.  Afterwards they do not seem as big or difficult.  Pray with us to learn to always focus on God’s unchanging truth and Word first and foremost.

We are just getting settled into our house in Lotung, but God is already providing opportunities for potential ministry.  Mr. Jiang came over to help us install cabinets that we brought with us.  We have known his family for several years. He shared about his son having a type of depression and afraid of being in public.  The Jiang family started attending worship at a local church seeking help.  He feels like it has helped their family some, but his son still has a long way to go.  He invited us to come to his home and is considering hosting a small group there.

We need to work out what our responsibilities will be at the Home of God’s Love.  We also need to make plans with the Sanford family concerning our ministry plans to continue making disciples that make disciples.  We ask that you join us in seeking God’s direction with these plans.

We are getting close to having our house set-up.  Andrew and Moriah are beginning to get into a routine at school and in the dorm.  Andrew is very busy already with school and soccer, and Moriah is pretty busy with volleyball practice and her classes as well.  Please continue to pray with us as we finish setting up our new home and our children settle into school.

Thank you for praying.

God Bless,

John & Cheryl
