2013 Weekly Update #43

Thank-you for taking the time to read this and praise God for how he is answering our prayers:

  • God blessed us by having one of the church members from Deep Grace Alliance Church offer to help with graphic arts.  His artwork on the flyer for the children’s event was well received.
  • There were 11 students and 3 mothers who came to the Children’s Story-Telling Event on Saturday afternoon (photos).  Some were students that we teach in the schools.  Please pray that God will use these monthly events to help children learn about Jesus at an early age.
  • Many youth returned and there were some who came for the first time to the Youth Drop-in Evening on Saturday evening (photos).  These students are under tremendous pressure to get high grades and be able to do well on exams so that they can attend the best schools.  It is great to hear their laughter as they play the games.  Please pray that the songs and sharing will help them know Jesus at a young age.

Sometimes people we know need practical help.  Please pray:

  • We can find people to help a Japanese daughter-in law (Living in northern Taiwan) learn Chinese.
  • We will know how to respond when there is an opportunity to discuss parenting children.
  • We can help students learn how to show respect for those around them.  This is a great need in the classrooms.

Thank-you for your encouragement!  Knowing you are willing to receive these emails and to pray for us helps us overcome discouragement and helps us to depend on the Lord.
