Praise the Lord for the safe arrival of the Lu family.  It is exciting to see God expanding our Baozhong Township team of workers. (Attached photo is of us all together for Sunday lunch.)  The next few days will  be spent helping them accomplish the important initial details of establishing residency in Taichung City and setting up their new home.  Please pray for God to given them new friends and to help them through the time change and many other adjustments that they are making.

Elyssa asked that we would include her in this week’s update.  We are asking God to clarify and make His will clear.  There are a number of aspects of her plans for this Fall that remain quite “fluid.”  Please pray for God to provide for her.

We are anticipating the Saturday arrival of a couple from Nanaimo Alliance Church.  They are coming to work short-term, helping us to lead the Junior High Youth Camp.  Please pray for God’s enabling and blessing on their ministry.

Please pray for God to use the following events to help people learn more about having a relationship with Jesus:

• August 12-16 – Junior High Youth Camp (mornings)
• August 16 – Happy Home Rally (evening)
• August 18 – Jeremy Lin “Dream Big, Be Yourself”  live stream of the evangelistic event for youth
