Mixed Emotions

This week as we communicate we have mixed emotions.  There are both highs and lows as we think about the past week.

A highlight was the baby dedication.  We have seen quite a few, but it was the first that Lorne officiated at in 30 years of ministry in Taiwan.

Charlie was at church service on Sunday.  He has agreed to share a testimony next Sunday.  He told me he wants to make sure that Jesus is honored.

But there has also been sad news.  A Christian friend from the community has gone to be with the Lord.  He leaves a wife and two sons, as well as a large extended family.  Pray for Lorne as he seeks to be a pastor to many people who do not yet believe in Jesus.

We are trying to bring that all to Jesus.  He has offered to take our cares and give us divine TLC (1 Peter 5:7).

Praise and Prayer

• Praise the Lord that Charlie recovered enough to attend church.  He was sharing with me the divinely arranged coincidences that permitted him to get treatment just when needed.  He will give testimony in church next Sunday.
• Please pray that suitable housing can be found for the Chuang family.
• Pray for wisdom as we try to manage financial resources well.  The process of planning and determining the budget needed for 2021 is just beginning.  It is hard to make projections in uncertain times.  Pray that we will know God’s will as we tackle this challenge.
