January 22, 2018 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

“And a leper approached, and bowed low before him, saying,   ‘Lord, if  you are willing, you can make me clean.’  He stretched out his hand and touched him saying, ‘I am willing. Be clean!’ Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.”  Matthew 8:2-3

When reading this account of the leper being healed, are you challenged by the simpleness of the healing.  It seems too easy.  All the leper did was approach Jesus and through a statement made his request.  How easy it should be for us as well to ask for help when we need it.  But a closer look causes us to realize that the difficult part is the faith that went into the request and the willingness to take the risk of being told no.  Jesus has no limit to his power nor His willingness to help us.  So it is up to us to ask in faith for the help we need.  Join us in asking for the help we need with faith of a willing God.

John’s first discipleship class with two of the boys from The Home of God’s Love went well.  There are some scheduling difficulties, so please pray that we work out a good time for both boys.

Cheryl begins an outreach this Wednesday morning.  She will be using the Bible to teach English to pre-schoolers.  At least one of the moms will be staying for the class time.  She hopes to be able to build relationships with these moms and their families as she serves them in this way.  These ladies and their children are all non-Christians.  Please pray for Cheryl as she makes plans and builds relationships with these moms and children.

Please pray for our co-worker, Samantha Sanford, as she is in her last 3 three weeks of pregnancy.  She is scheduled for a c-section on February 9th.  Please pray for all to go well with the delivery and for the rest of the family as well.

Thank you for your prayers.

God Bless,

John & Cheryl
