Thank-you for praying for us and the ministry here in rural Taiwan.  As we pray this week, the following items are things that are on our hearts:

• Praising God for another slight improvement in Lorne’s foot.  Praying for continued healing.
• Praying that JR (a Baozhong resident who believed in Jesus while in university) will be encouraged in his faith.  Asking God to give him a thirst for God’s Word and an increased desire to communicate with God through prayer.  May God also give Lorne wisdom as he visits and encourages him.  We are grateful that he has some interest in helping Lorne to use Bible-story telling to share about Jesus with other Baozhong residents.
• Praying about summer ministry planning.
  •  At this moment, there have not been enough short-term team volunteers from Canada to be able  to make the decision to proceed with the hoped-for children/family ministry events.  If God does not supply workers in the next couple of weeks, those plans will need to be set aside for this year.
  •  There have been Canadian volunteers for the week of youth ministry.  We will begin in the next few weeks to recruit some Taiwanese volunteers who are needed to help in this event.
• Praying that God will help us to be the aroma of Christ as we teach and tell Bible stories in the elementary schools this week.

Praying for provision for our children, Ethan and Elyssa.  They need employment and places to live this summer.  We praise God for how well Philip, Bethany and our three granddaughters are doing.
