Dear Family & Friends,
“And the word of the Lord came to me saying, “Son of man, behold, I am about to take from you the desire of your eyes with a blow; but you shall not mourn and you shall not weep, and your tears shall not come. Thus you will be a sign to them, and they will know the I am the Lord’” Ezekiel 24:15-6, 27c
There are times in life when something is taken away from us. Sometimes we lose something like a job, which causes us not to be able to pay our mortgage or car payment. Sometimes we lose the physical ability to do things we like. Sometimes we might lose our sight, hearing, or ability to walk. Any of these are difficult, some more so than others. Ezekiel had to lose his wife in order to serve as God’s prophet. God used Ezekiel and his wife to communicate the future to the people of Israel. Are we willing to be that kind of servant to God? Are you willing to serve God and do whatever He says even when He takes what you love most away? Pray with us that we will learn to serve God when it is easy and when it is difficult.
This is “Week Without Walls” at Morrison Academy this year. That means that the high juniors and seniors are on mission trips, the sophomores are on a team building trip, and the freshmen are on a Biology trip. Moriah is on a mission’s team that is in Malaysia. They will be returning on Saturday evening to the school. Moriah’s team, as well as the other teams going to various places, are working with churches and missionaries to serve people that have physical and spiritual needs. Moriah’s team is working with kids through soccer and other activities. They will also be going to a daycare for adults with dementia. Please pray for all the teams as they seek to serve God through serving others in His name.
This past week one member of John’s discipleship group brought two new people, one being a non-Christian. Her name is Tanya. Please pray that all of those who come will draw closer to Christ, and that Tanya will come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Please lift up in prayer all of our groups that meet each week.
Chris Sanford continues to develop ads and videos to use on social media that will draw people to Christ. Chris has a made couple of contacts that he is confident are close to be willing to study God’s Word with him. Please continue to lift up our efforts with media in your prayers.
Thank you for taking the time to pray.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
