What if you had an opportunity to reach a few that could reach millions? Would you please pray for Dezi & I as we seek to determine the direction the Lord is taking us and that we have the heart, the passion and the determination to stay faithful and stay the course he has set before us?
We thank you for your continued support to keep going in our effort to mobilize more workers for the Harvest. My time in Atlanta, GA was very challenging. John Maxwell’s Equip program is literally reaching millions all over the world with Christian Leadership Training. They go into an existing network of church leaders, and offer them leadership training to help them reproduce themselves, more leaders to start more churches. We want to take this into China using the network we have and it certainly appears the time is ripe. We would travel to various locations twice a year and gather house church leaders, businessmen and other entrepreneurs and go through a series of seminars teaching them Biblically based values and roles that they are held accountable to pass on to others. Over six years of curriculum has already been produced and translated into Mandarin Chinese and this is already being used in a few locations including Taiwan. We have been given an opportunity to be trainers and while it is completely self-funded, we have found no other way that is making as big an impact in China as this has the potential of being. Chinese are migrating all over the world now. The picture above was taken in Nairobi on my trip in June. Chinese restaurants were in places where there were no churches. Remember, there is an urgency to getting the Gospel out. With every breath there is someone passing into eternity.
God is amazing as he has raised up faithful supporters like you to help us in ways beyond we could ask or imagine. We have been given a closing date of September 24th on a house in Surprise, AZ and my mother is settled in to a new apartment near by. The kids have started their new schools and are enjoying their new youth group. The last year has been the hardest of our lives and we are striving to learn the lessons that God is gently teaching. One of which is being more thankful. We never want to take you for granted. Thank you… for believing in us.
