What an encouragement it is to us to know that you are praying for us. Thank you for joining us in this ministry before the Throne of grace. After being quite sick, the Lord has restored our kids’ health. Due to her sickness, Adrianna missed a full week of school and her first Sunday since September. This made us extra thankful for all the months of good health the Lord has blessed her with and for her good attendance record in Sunday school. Cherith stayed home Sunday with both sick kids so Jonathan had all of the kids from age 2 to 6 in Sunday school. He was thankful for C. who helped to keep order with the 9 children crammed in the small classroom. We were almost thankful for the space made available by the four regulars who were out sick. Two-year old E. from church was taken to the hospital Tuesday night with fever seizures. He is now home but testing and treatment continues. More than 10 children in Adrianna’s class at school were out with Scarlet fever and strep throat this week.
Having two sick kids around for a week gave us extra responsibilities and diminished sleep at night. We’re thankful we have not gotten the fever thus far. We managed to complete the rest of the paperwork and reports needing to be done and got caught up on some correspondence. This Sunday the church will be having a major business meeting where new deacons and the annual budget will be voted on. We are anticipating a visit from our Taiwanese friend P.W. from January 30 to Feb. 1 and are asking the Lord to give us good opportunities to share the Good News.
Praise for:
- growing attendance in Sunday school/church, and help given Sunday by C.
- Adrianna’s perfect attendance in SS until last Sunday and for her and Caleb’s recovery from illness.
Pray for:
- the Lord to guide the Sunday School ministry and that children would grow in their knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
- the Lord to direct in the church business meeting Sunday.
- our contact with P.W. and that the Lord will bring her to Himself.
