Dear Family & Friends,
“I thank my God every time I remember you. I always pray with joy in my every prayer for all of you because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.” Philippians 1:3-5
Thank you for your great support of us through the years. Many of you have prayed for us and sent gifts since we began preparing to work in Taiwan. This past week Parkview Christian Church blessed us with a special offering of over $17,000 to help with travel, schooling, and other expenses. PTL! We also recently received a special gift of $1,000 from the First Christian Church in Fairfield toward our van fund. Thank you so very much. We’ve enjoyed visiting with many of you this past year. We look forward to many more years of partnership in the Gospel.
We’ve been enjoying a few days with Bethany, Philip, and Juliet. We praise God for our family. We wish we could spend more time here, but we need to get back on island soon to process our resident visas. We are missing being with our own mothers today, but it is a blessing to be with Bethany on her first Mother’s Day. Please continue to pray for our family as we all get used to being separated by thousands of miles again.
Chris and Samantha Sanford have been staying in our apartment since December. They recently signed a contract on an apartment. Please pray for them as they move and set-up their home. Please pray that little Hosanna will have a smooth transition.
Dave & Jeanay Stiles continue to work with an English speaking congregation. They are intentionally moving in the direction of servant ministry in Kaohsiung and beyond. They are also involved with discipleship training seminars. Please continue to support our team in prayer.
Please pray for this summer’s activities. We will once again be a part of the annual Sports and English Camp. Please pray for the 140 campers that will be attending and for the VBS that the Eternal Light congregation will be holding as well. Pray that God will prepare the hearts of all the students and teachers for both of these activities.
We fly out of Seattle on Tuesday afternoon. We have a long layover in South Korea, so we won’t get to Taiwan until noon on Thursday,Taiwan time. We would appreciate your prayers for our trip.
1. Praise God for the partnership He has given us in the Gospel.
2. Please pray for our family and us as we are once again half a world’s distance from each other.
3. Please pray for Sanfords as they move into their new apartment.
4. Please pray for our the Stiles as they continue to train the church they are working with.
5. Please pray for Sports and English Camp and VBS.
6. Please pray for us as we begin our flights to Taiwan on Tuesday afternoon.
