Dear Family & Friends,
“So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away – look, what is new has come! And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation.”
As we all think about the new year and new beginnings, we should be reminded that all who are in Christ have been remade in Him. We have a life to live that has been freed from sin and its power. We have a life to live that is not weighed down in shame from sin. We instead, can live life with joy and peace as we share the blessings of this new life with others. Challenge yourself everyday to live as this new creation that is not held back by your old life of sin. Don’t believe the lies satan tells you about how your past still controls you. Believe in the one who has reconciled you to Himself through Christ!
Saturday morning our team had a planning meeting. We were writing our Field Ministry Plan (FMP). It went very well. We have all felt like our team was kind of treading water in the ocean with lots of waves since the school year began. We were just trying to keep doing what was being done before all the changes had taken place on the team. Now we all feel a greater sense of purpose as a group. We have more work to do on our Field Ministry Plan, but we are all excited to get it finished and to work toward meeting our goals. Pray with us as we try to make plans that will stretch us and honor God.
We ask that you continue to pray for our relationship with the Lin family, Samantha Sanford’s parents. We really want to be able to start a discipleship group with them. Pray that God will direct us as to how to move forward.
Please continue to pray for us as we foster Alaina & Nikki. They are precious little girls, but they do take lots of energy. Lately, colds and flus have been going around the community and our family has not escaped them. Please pray that we can all get well soon.
Thank you for praying.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
