Dear Family & Friends,
“But I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. John 14:31a “For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments do not weigh us down.”
I John 5:3
Jesus obeyed His father to show His love for God to us. He asks us to do the same. Obedience is the call of the disciple. It expresses our love for God and our love for people. When we are obedient people see Jesus in us and that draws them to God. Pray that we learn to choose obedience to Christ’s commands so that people may know that we love God.
We had a good visit with the McCains while they were here in spite of our children coming down sick for a few days. The McCains are now visiting in the Philippines and will continue to travel for several weeks yet. Please continue to pray for them as they seek to encourage many others serving in Asia.
Little Nelfa is still in great need of prayer. She still has a bad cough due to chest congestion. She has a long way to go before getting out of the hospital. Her bills are adding up as well, and if you feel led you can give through God’s Kids at https://www.godskids.org/donate . You can follow her at Pray for Nelfa https://www.facebook.com/groups/1564643630441688/ .
We spent this past weekend traveling with the True Vine congregation. They invited their non-Christian friends and family to go on a retreat/trip for Chinese New Year. It was a great opportunity to have fun with some non-Christian friends and witness to them as well.
Taiwanese families will gather together to celebrate Chinese New Year this week beginning on Wednesday evening. Some families will worship their ancestors during this time. Christians will be in a position to witness to their families. Please pray for them to be faithful to God and yet honoring to their families.
1. Pray for us to be obedient to Christ in all ways.
2. Please pray for the McCains as they travel through Asia.
3. Please continue to pray for Nelfa as she recovers.
4. Praise the Lord for the encouraging trip with the True Vine congregation.
5. Please pray for Taiwanese Christians as they have opportunities to share their faith during Chinese New Year.
