The Lord directed our conversations this week with P. many times to spiritual matters and she was genuinely interested in learning more about what the Bible teaches about salvation. She attended services on Sunday including our Sunday school class. Attendance was low for choir practice, but we had a productive practice. There were 16 out for the Sango service, including a young man who has not been there in a long time. We watched the first section of “The Hope” together. We had a copy of this film in Chinese which P. accepted with interest. We had a good trip to Algrange for our ministries with the students on Wednesday. Some of the students need to take their studies more seriously.
We were rather shocked last weekend by news from Jonathan’s mother, Betty Teachout, after an appointment Wednesday with a lung specialist. She’d been having trouble with breathing for some time and was finally referred to the specialist. He has prescribed several tests which began this week. Due to the difficulty in breathing, she has been put on continual supplementary oxygen. The doctor indicates that this could be permanent, which could make some pretty drastic lifestyle changes necessary, involving living arrangements and possibly excluding a visit to us in France this year.
Praise for:
- a good visit with P. with many opportunities to share Christ with her.
- two individuals that have offered to help with Cherith’s SS class.
- good attendance Sunday in SS, church and the Sango service.
Pray for:
- Salvation for P. and for others that need to make decisions for Christ.
- Mom Teachout’s health and for direction in decisions to be made. Pray for us too, so far away at this difficult time.
- our students at the Institute to be diligent in their studies and that we professors will have wisdom as we teach and mentor.
- wisdom in prioritizing as we evaluate and plan ministries. We continue to seek guidance for our ministry after this term in France.
- the Lord to bring our support level up from 80%.
