Thank-you for praying as Lorne travelled and brought Elyssa home. It is good to have her with us. She is enjoying being with all the family (including her niece, our granddaughter Juliet). Elyssa will be applying for summer employment beginning Monday. Please pray for God to supply the right job for her.

Last summer, when Kathy-Lu had her routine mammogram, an irregularity was discovered. When a follow up ultrasound was performed a couple of weeks ago, the irregularity appeared to have changed shape and texture. After seeing the specialist last Wednesday, the decision was made that she should have surgery to remove it and the tissue surrounding it. This additional surgery is scheduled for May 3. Thank-you for praying for our family during this time.

Departure for Taiwan is scheduled for 8 weeks from Tonight. We are trusting God that there will be no delays. When we arrive we expect to spend time renewing our visas, visiting with neighbourhood friends, and cleaning our house. There will be lots of cleaning after a whole year away. Please pray that God will even now begin to arrange for our “re-entry” into the community, arranging the opportunities to renew friendships and to share with friends about the Hope that is within us.

Our number one prayer request for the ministry in Taiwan continues to be the need for a full-time Taiwanese-speaking coworker. Please “pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields,” especially the work in Baojhong, Taiwan.
