Malawi Ministry
1. We have been collecting stories of the impact of Children's CHE in different countries. Rhodess and Janet from Malawi wrote, "Before we received CHE training, we would not value our children. In many ways, culturally, we would think to wait for them to grow up and start trusting them. After CHE training, we saw that our children are also more important and to start now trusting them because they can also bring a change many lives in the society. Now we are teaching them to reach their friends and families. Good things are happening that these children are changing their families holistically." Thank God for how He is working!
Pray that we may also develop strong ministries of CHE with Youth. Please pray that the children and youth may continue to grow in Christ and reach out to their families and friends. Pray that we can work with and encourage CHE trainers and leaders around the world, and give strong follow-up to those who have received CHE training.
2. I also enjoy our Zihuatanejo children's ministries, especially when they surprise me with a birthday celebration! Pray that their families may come to know Christ.
3. Our online Bible study of Women of the New Testament is going well and will finish in a few weeks. In April, we will begin a new study of Foolish Decisions of the Bible. Let me know if you would like to join us. Pray that we may learn how to not to repeat their mistakes! In the meantime, I am starting to write a new study of Children of the Bible.
4. My apartment is getting emptier as I downsize! Thank God for providing good homes for the books, Greek books, medical books, household supplies, furniture, and clothes. And thanks to all the friends who are helping. In late March, I will be moving to the cabin at the Christian Health Service Corps base in Texas, and will spend part of the year in Texas and part of the year in Zihuatanejo (in addition to my other wanderings). Pray for the Lord's help with all the practical details. Pray that I may be able to take part in and encourage ministries in both Zihuatanejo and Texas.
¡Muchas gracias! Thank God for his protection and care. And many thanks to you for your prayers, encouragement, and support! Let me know how I can be praying for you. Dios les bendiga.
(May God bless you.)
