Dear Family & Friends,
“Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. At the same time pray for us too, that God may open a door for the message so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may make it known as I should.” Col. 4:2-4
We like Paul want to encourage everyone to be devoted to prayer. As we pray may we focus on being thankful for all God has done and is doing. May we ask the Holy Spirit to guide us to see what we can be thankful for in each and every situation, even those that are difficult to bear. May we also always be looking toward the harvest – to when and where should we be sharing the gospel, always being thankful for each opportunity. Please pray for our Taiwanese brothers and sisters in these areas too.
We are grateful for the past few days and the time we were able to spend with family and friends. It was good to see our children enjoying these times with their family. Thank you for helping to make our time in the states possible.
Chris and Samantha Sanford, our new co-workers in Kaohsiung, will be leaving for Taiwan this coming Saturday and arriving in Taiwan on Dec. 4. Please pray for safe travels and for many opportunities to share with the Taiwanese about our Lord and Savior. One specific request is for Samantha who is now 7 months pregnant and will be traveling on one flight for 16 hours on the way to Taiwan. Please pray that this will not be too hard on her and the baby physically. She is due in February. What exciting times!
This coming Sunday we will be reporting to the Woodlawn Christian Church. We will presenting the work during sunday school and John will preach for the worship hour. Please pray as we prepare for this time with this coming weekend.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
