2014 Update #38

Posted on by

We are thankful to report answers to more than one of our recent requests for prayer.

  • A high school student has agreed spend her some of her Fall vacation helping to watch the Lu children during the first part of the Vision Prayer Event (October 4-12).  This will allow Albert and Elaine to both participate in the different activities of the week.  Praise the Lord!
  • We had a good start to English classes in two schools last week.  The children loved hearing the story of David and Goliath. (This week Lorne has prepared the story of David and Jonathan’s promise of friendship.  Lord willing, Lorne will also have the first opportunity of this semester to begin telling Bible stories at the Baozhong Primary School on Friday morning.)
  • Kathy-Lu’s eye is recovering well after her cataract surgery.  She still needs to be careful, and her eye is still very sensitive to bright light, but we are very encouraged as we see God’s work of healing.  Praise the Lord!

Final preparations are happening as we anticipate the Saturday morning arrival of the team from First Alliance Church in Toronto.  Our desire is that all of us who participate will sense God’s leading and releasing of His power through prayer. Specific requests for the prayer event are:

  • That our focus will be on God, remain on God, and prayerfully follow God to the people and topics that are on God’s heart.
  • Pray that God’s Spirit will be free to work, and that the enemy of our souls will be thwarted.
  • Pray for health and protection on the participants and the families of participants.   Pray that God’s will be done in the establishing of a church in Baozhong Township.

Finally, we want to take a few lines in this update to thank you for being on mission together with us.  Your generosity in supporting us through giving to the Global Advance Fund, and your ongoing prayer support, make it possible to build relationships with people and share with them the good news of Jesus.  With your help and companionship on this mission, many more people are having an opportunity to hear about Jesus.  Thank-you for your continuing commitment to be involved.
