Dear Family & Friends,
“Come! Let’s bow down and worship! Let’s kneel before the Lord, our creator! For he is our God; we are the people of his pasture, the sheep he owns. Today, if only you would obey him!” Ps. 95:6-7
This scripture always reminds me as we come to a time of corporate worship of our God that He is most pleased with our obedience as we worship Him daily with our living. He is more pleased with our worship of song and prayer when we have chosen to follow His leading daily in our decisions. Let us pray for each other to learn to worship in obedience daily.
A few weeks ago we mentioned that the Eternal Light congregation would be beginning a new program on saturday mornings. They had to back up the start date to October 15th in order to prepare properly. So, please be praying for the teachers and students. They have sent out invitations to a lot of children we pray that there will be a good attendance.
His Hands continues to serve the unwed mothers of Kaohsiung and their children. Recently, the moms have chosen to keep their babies. Please pray that these mom’s will listen to the Godly counsel they receive while living at His Hands.
We are looking forward to spending some time with Chris & Samantha Sanford this week. They are working toward moving to Taiwan in Dec. of this year to work with the Stiles and us in Kaohsiung. Please pray for the Sanfords as they are raising the last of their support and awaiting the birth of their first child.
Today, we reported to the First Christian Church of Bridgeport, IL. We were able to rejoice with them as they celebrated 150 years of worshipping the Lord together. Next week we will be reporting to the First Christian Church of Fairfield, IL. Then on October 21st & 22nd we will be participating in a Mission Rally at Evergreen Christian Church in Salem, IL. Finally, on the 23rd of October John will preach and give a short report at Parkview Christian Church in Mt. Carmel. With football & soccer practice and games for Andrew & Moriah we are looking at a busy month.
We are grateful for your partnership in prayer.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
