Prayer Update 7/21/08

TMF was a success! There were several adults registered for the week, but I had the privilege of working with 20 Middle School students and about 20 High School students. These students were fantastic. They had wonderful attitudes and I loved spending time with them throughout the week.

Greetings Prayer Supporters!
We’re in the midst of a busy schedule right now. I apologize if these updates take a little longer than usual to get sent out. But we’re in the second day of TMF right now and it’s going really well. I was surprised to have 39 teenagers show up Monday [...]

We got back from the church camping trip Sunday afternoon and the College Heights group from Joplin, MO left early this morning to head back home after a two week stay here in Taiwan. We really enjoyed having them here with us in Taichung for a few days, and they seemed blessed by the [...]

Happy Monday to you all! I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. I heard about the earthquake most, if not all, of you experienced. And here I thought I was the one moving to a natural disaster hot zone. I haven’t heard of any injuries or substantial damages, so I trust [...]

Prayer Update 4-7-08

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been here a month now. Some days it seems like the last month has flown by, but then there are moments where it seems like it should be May by now. But I’m excited about what this month may bring and the preparations for the rest of [...]

Chinese is hard…
I’m confident that with all the time I’m devoting to learning this language, that it will eventually come, but my first impression of the language is that it is very complicated. But I am excited about the prospects of one day being able to communicate effectively. Until then, this will be [...]
