We praise the Lord that Lorne made it back safely to Taiwan.  He is now past the worst of the jetlag and we are pressing forward.

This week we are at the annual TMF Conference.  This year the focus is on “Church Planting Movements”.  We are looking forward to what God will say to us.  It is also a good opportunity to network with workers from other mission groups.  Opportunities to pray together, to share ideas, and even to plan future cooperation are some of the things we are hoping for.

Being in the larger city has provided us the opportunity to shop in some larger stores.  We were able to get some prices for comparison for some of the house repairs and improvements that are needed in the near future.

We praise the Lord that we now have six participants for the Fall Vision Prayer Trip.  Registration has closed and we will now focus on team-building and orientation.  Please pray for God to prepare all of us for what He wants to do as we pray together, bringing the needs of our community, our work, and of specific individuals before God’s throne.  (We anticipate having another Prayer Trip in October 2013.  Maybe you want to start thinking and praying about being a part of that one.)

On Thursday evening at night market, we met a believer named Zoe.  She also lives in our town.  Please pray that God will help her to be a strong testimony to those she has contact with.
