I can’t believe its already December!
Please, please, please continue to pray for us….
Here’s another quick update on what’s happening with our ministry and how you can pray:
1) My wife is currently in China on a short 10 day trip with some friends from Knoxville, Tennessee. They are back in the area that we consider our home in China, visiting friends new and old, sharing the Gospel, and praying for the unreached people there. My wife wrote me today and said that she feels she is “falling in love with China like she never has before”. After being away for nearly 5 months, this is definitely an answer to our prayers!
Please pray for my wife and this small team, that the Lord would give them opportunities to proclaim the Gospel and break their hearts once again for the people of northwest China!
2) Our good friends and teammates from Mexico have just departed their home in northwest China to journey back home for a few months. The primary goal of their trip is for him to get his teaching credentials so that he can teach Spanish in the future at Chinese universities. They will be traveling for upwards of a week and passing through Russia, Spain, and even Morocco (where she ministered previously) on their journey home to central Mexico.
Pray for traveling mercies and divine appointments as this family travels with their two boys (2 and under!) back to Mexico throughout the next couple weeks!
3) As I mentioned in last month’s prayer requests,
“In December, 20 people from all over North America will carry literally TONS of Bibles and tracts into China and then spend 3 weeks crisscrossing the country distributing Christian literature, sharing the Gospel one-on-one, and praying for the unreached. All in all, they will visit nearly 70 distinct locations and distribute tens of thousands of Bibles and tracts.”
Well, this team is departing for China momentarily! I’m sitting at the team leader’s home in Virginia right now (1:45 am) and expecting him to wake up any moment to head to the airport (along with three of his kids who are going along. (He just came out of his room!).
Please pray for all the logistics involved, and for each of these people (wisdom, protection, boldness, love for God and passion for His glory), and for the countless thousands who will hear and/or read the Gospel for the first time in the coming days as a result of their labors!
