This past Thursday we celebrated the sixth anniversary of Kathy-Lu’s heart surgery.  We have so much for which to give thanks.  We invite you to rejoice with us.

Please pray for the continued healing and strengthening of Kathy-Lu’s back as she is experiencing spasms and pain.  We are thankful for the relief that physiotherapy is providing, but complete healing comes from God.  Please join us in praying about this.

The Taiwanese are approaching the end of Ghost Month.  It is the seventh month on the lunar calendar.  Many people live in superstitious fear of unseen spirits that are supposedly permitted to roam during that time.

Churches will sometimes sing the song “Peaceful July” sung in Taiwanese (MP4) or English (PPT) to remind people that God is our Refuge and Strength.     Please pray that people will know Jesus and be filled with the true peace that He brings.

The budget request for 2017 has been submitted to leadership.  Please pray for them as they match resources with the projected needs.  This task is further complicated by lower than budgeted giving to the Global Advance Fund (GAF) through the summer months. GAF pays for international worker living allowances, housing, travel and children’s schooling.  Please pray for faith-filled wisdom as they set income goals and spending limits for next year.

So far we have received $2,371 of our goal of the $10,000 needed to purchase a ministry-use car when we return to Taiwan in May 2017.  Please pray for God’s provision for this additional need.

Thank-you for being on mission with God:  Everyone, Everywhere, All the time.

Lorne and Kathy-Lu
