October Update

    A new initiative that wouldn’t have been made possible without the partnership with Christ’s Church of the Valley is starting to take shape.
    In our last update we told you about John Maxwell’s Equip program that is literally reaching millions all over the world with Christian Leadership Training. As an Associate Trainer, we can now begin creating a network in two different locations in China and hope to go into Taiwan and train selected leaders that will train other leaders to maximize our efforts . We are planning a preliminary trip in January to connect with leaders and start the process of planning with a target of presenting the first section of material in June. This really is an exciting endeavor and has unlimited potential to reach many, many Chinese leaders to help them in church planting and evangelism. It’s a proven program and well accepted even in dark and difficult lands as the focus is ‘leadership training’. However, it is completely biblically based. Pray for us that the right connections with the right people will be made for this to be successful.

    We have had a lot of generosity poured out on us by God through many of you, our supporting churches. In fact, the money needed for our closing was received to the dollar.  CCV also contributed to helping us with needed repairs with a lot of man power and also funding those repairs. We are always amazed at God’s provision and never want to take that for granted.
    We have also appreciated the many prayers for us during this time of change and trial. We know that God has led us to this point and we see God moving in even bigger ways than before. Thank you so much for joining us on this journey. It has now been 20 years since we began working for and in the Chinese harvest fields! Many of you have been with us the entire time supporting us, praying for us. Please know that the Lord is working through you and us to make a difference… through recruits, training, evangelism, encouraging, translation projects, awareness and so much more. Let us all keep striving until the last soul is saved. It is possible in THIS generation. Remember II Peter 3:9… not wanting ANY to perish.
