But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”(Matthew 4:4)
Happy New Year!
Peace be with you. As in Matthew 4:4, we pray that you will live a new year in which you live not by bread alone, but by every word that comes from God. By God’s protection and your prayers, Damien’s kidney stone removal surgery went smoothly. Thank you for praying. During the period of discovering the kidney stone and scheduling surgery there was a conference planned in Thailand. We are grateful the Thailand ministry was completed well with no pain before the surgery. I was nervous as this was Damien’s first surgery since we’ve been married, but I had peace after praying as God reminded and gave me confidence that He is in control. This has become a time where I’ve been reminded of the importance of health. We pray you and your family will be healthy in the new year.
In Thailand…
Global Students Ministry, Global Leadership Development, and Global Operations VP teams united about 60 global leaders to gather in Thailand. They are leaders who support, develop, coach, train, and help local missionaries to lead. Due to COVID, these teams had to meet online for a long time. Finally, they met face to face to pray, discuss, collaborate, and plan. It was a wonderful time together. Please continue to pray for these global leaders. Pray for them to carefully listen to the needs of their local ministries so they can help build them specifically and boldly.
Global President's Staff Team Ministry
This year we will continue as part of the Global President’s Staff Team to serve the trainings and conferences of this team and our Global VP teams. Last year, we met global leaders and heard the many needs of our international missionaries for conferences and trainings. Again this year we are asking God how we can serve their needs well and help expand God’s kingdom. Please pray with us that this will be a year in which we are filled with the Holy Spirit every moment to go wherever God want us to go, do whatever God wants us to do, and give whatever God wants us to give.
Thank you for your faithful partnership with us. We pray that God will give you new strength and that you will have a year full of His grace. Thank you!
Prayer Requests
Global Conferences: Our first ministry of this year is a Middle East missionary leaders conference. It will focus on healthy families, teams, and partnerships. Please pray that everybody travels safely, that every meeting honors the Holy Spirit, and that God gives us wisdom and power as we serve.
Health: Please pray that Damien won’t have any future kidney stones. Pray that we will take good care of our health.
