Dear Partners in Ministry, Warm greetings in the name of Jesus. We are blessed that you are a vital part of our ministry. Your prayer support is important to us. Thank you for praying for our Taiwanese service in June. The service was well attended by several older people who only speak Taiwanese. Such as Gary’s mother. She was very pleased to understand the whole sermon. Also, Sally invited her mother for the first time because she speaks Taiwanese. Our preacher, Rebecca, shared her testimony during the lunch time to encourage us to never give up sharing the gospel with family and friends. The third Taiwanese service will be in October. Thank you for praying for our Junior high graduates. Most of them will attend vocational high school. Sunny has decided to go to a vocational high school to study hair dressing. Pray for these kids to use their summer vacation wisely. Also, graduating from nursing school were Al, Kiki, and Tina. Pray for them, they will take the nursing license test on July twenty five. Megan has passed the nursing license in May, and she is moving to Taipei to work in a hospital. Pray for her adjustment to a new living situation and to join a nearby church which Lily introduced to her. July 6-9 is the FM youth camp. We are thankful that Joel is going as an adult leader from our church. The two youth going from our church are Al and Henry. The camp theme is “Jesus online”. Pray for them to develop a closer personal relationship with Jesus. Children’s camp is at the end of July. But only one of our kids is at the age where he can go. Pray for our children’s ministry. We needed to separate our Sunday school into two groups. We have elementary kids in one room and pre- school kids in another room. However, that does create a problem to have enough workers. Pray for Lois to have workers to help the pre-school classroom. This is a very important ministry and we covet your prayer support. July 3 begins our summer ministry in the elementary school. We will be working with the kindergarten children. We will need creative ways to share stories about God. We hope Sunny and other young people could come and help. In August we are planning a small family camp for four families. These four couples have children about the same age. We want to help them grow in Christ. One problem is where to go that is suitable. We will also need workers for the children. Pray for all the concerns for the family camp can be ironed out soon. The dates for the family camp are twenty second and twenty third of August. Cindy a young woman teaching English at the military prep school has been attending our Wednesday evening prayer meeting and Bible study. Lily is helping her develop a daily quiet time. Lily meets with her Thursday afternoons. Pray for Cindy to grow in her faith and knowledge of Jesus. Continue to pray for our friend Jeff. His time at the hospital is winding down. The last time we met he asked how to make important decisions in life. Of course, I talked about prayer and the important part it has made in my life in making decisions. Jeff is facing many important decisions coming up over the next few months. Jeff told me he has three options. One is stay in Taiwan and open a dental clinic. The second is go to Europe and study research. The third is go to the US and study. Pray for Tim to help Jeff seek God for direction in his life. You can pray for us this summer. With the heat index hitting 110 degrees every day for the last month, it drains us of strength and energy. Tim often goes to the library in the afternoons to work. Lily and Joycelyn use the air conditioning at the church in the afternoons. Also, you can pray for rain that will help to cool down the temps. You know we want to pray for you. We do think of you often and are encouraged by your prayers and support to our ministry. Today we prayed for Christ Community in Twinsburg. Please let us know how we can pray for you. Joyfully serving in Taiwan, Tim and Lily
