Marathon
Recently we were able to see participants in our town’s first ever marathon running down our street. Residents and volunteers were cheering them on. There was excitement in the air. The event was considered a success. Then news came that one of the participants had collapsed and passed away. It was not the race that a supposedly healthy person expected to be running that day. They did not know they would be crossing the finish line at the end of their life before they reached 40 years old. We do not know if they were adequately prepared for eternity.
Acts 4:31 records that the Holy Spirit gave the believers boldness to share the good news about Jesus with others. Our prayer is that God will give all of us that same Holy Spirit boldness to share with others so that more people are prepared for their eternal future.
The Numbers Tell the Story
We have been preparing the 2015 event and attendance report to send to the denomination. It is exciting to see that people have been added to the church in Baozhong over this past year. God is working and we are excited to be a part of what He is doing. Please pray that God will continue to add to the number of people attending. May God also help each of us to grow in our faith in this coming year.
Special Prayer Requested
Lorne’s father will be having ear surgery on March 17. The recovery time, including learning to hear using the newly implanted device will likely be about 8 weeks. Please pray that the procedure will be without complications and for Dad’s recovery process.
Home Assignment Preparations
Planning for our return to Canada on May 24 for one year of ministry in Canadian churches is happening. We are thankful for church friends who are assisting us to find housing and a car. Please pray for wisdom as they look and advise us.
We are also anticipating returning to Taiwan in May 2017 for another term of service. At that time we will need to purchase a used car for use in our ministry. If you would like to contribute toward this need, please designate your gift “L&K White – Car Fund.” You may also use this link to give online. Thank-you for asking God to supply for our needs in this area.
Thank-you for your ongoing commitment to be on mission together with God and us through prayer.
Lorne and Kathy-Lu |
