Mission Update 12

Thank-you to all who prayed for Kathy-Lu as she had her hysterectomy. We are very aware of God extending grace to us during this time.

  • Kathy-Lu was able to have a private room during her two-day stay in hospital.
  • God provided so that the cost of parking at the hospital was covered for Lorne on the day of the surgery.
  • The doctor says the surgery went well, and Kathy-Lu is doing well in her recovery.
  • We have a lot for which to be thankful. And we are trusting God to complete the healing process.

Elyssa (our daughter) and the other students at Ambrose University College were very busy this past weekend as the school hosted the Legacy Youth Conference. The students are tired from many hours of volunteer work, and are now back doing their studies. Please pray for God to continue to work in the lives of the youth who attended, helping them to follow through on the commitments that were made.

We continue to pray and trust God for:
  • Summer employment for Elyssa.
  • Finances for Ethan and Elyssa to attend school in the Fall.
  • For a full-time Taiwanese worker to help in the Baojhong church plant.
  • For a Taiwanese C&MA church to partner with us.
Taiwanese C&MA leaders are planning for a pastor’s conference March 29-30. Please pray for wisdom as decisions are made and that spiritual refreshment will come from the Lord through this important event.
