Living Life with Gusto
Near our hotel last month, we discovered Gusto Pizza. They make authentic Napoli-style pizza. It was delicious. It might be the best pizza we have eaten in Taiwan. The chef uses genuine ingredients imported from Italy so that he can provide customers a distinctive taste experience.
As Christ-followers, we worship a God who is unique. Yesterday we looked at Acts 17:22-31. In 1½ minutes, Paul shares 10 truths about the God we worship. The reflection challenged us to be thankful for who God is, and gave us ideas that we can share with others.
This month, we are praying for God to create opportunities for our church members (including us) to share the gospel with individuals whose hearts are prepared to decide to believe in Christ.
Will you join us in praying that God will create such opportunities?
(Perhaps, you could pray a similar prayer for yourself.)

Praise and Prayer

- Pray for our friends whose well is not deep enough. Their farmhouse has no water.
