Time Zones
A group call this past week made us think of time zones and their influence on our lives.
Due to miscalculation, we have received calls or made calls at times that were less than convenient. The use of daylight saving time, or not, further complicates matters. But, advances in technology have made connections across multiple time zones much easier and more economical.
As international workers, we have had to ponder the fact that God exists outside of time but works so that we see evidence of Him acting within our own time zone. Sometimes because of time differences, an event will occur on a different day than in your time zone. We are thankful that God can sort it all out the tie differences, permitting your participation in prayer. Even if a prayer is offered a few minutes after the event, the intent is in God’s wisdom fused together to bring glory to His name.
Thank-you for taking time to pray! We have a God who invites us to pray and answers those prayers.
Praise and Prayer
- Graduations are important milestones in students’ lives. It is both a celebration of accomplishment and the doorway into a new stage of life. Taiwan schools hold graduation ceremonies for each level of education: elementary, middle school, high school, college, and graduate school. Please pray as students make decisions regarding further education or employment that they will renew their commitment to live for Christ in their new stage of life.
- Summer Activities, including vacation Bible school style camps, are being planned by most Taiwan churches for July and August. Please pray for the short-term teams that are assisting. Pray these will be times when people deepen their commitments to live for Christ.
