Pray for Samuel (as he lives out his Eurocentric-outdated-inane existence).

The purpose of this blog is to build up an army of prayer warriors who will lift me up as I minister in Taiwan. I am planning on posting requests once weekly. I'm asking y'all to please take time in your devotions to bring these requests before the Father and ask Him to work His will in each situation.

Probably the last post here until I get back to the States.

---Presenting the Gospel to my Wednesday night kids went well. Thank God for providing such a wonderful Christian with amazing English to help with translating. Joy, you rock! Nobody prayed that night, but they listened very carefully and took it seriously. Pray for those seeds that were planted.

---The trip to 秀才 was wonderful and heart breaking at the same time. It's really impossible to describe the way those kids tug at your heart. Rita, one of my good friends, had covered her entire left arm in knife cuts. Lots of the kids there have scars from cutting themself (or some of them even seem to be the remains of suicide attempts). Please keep those kids in your prayers. They have been dealt a REALLY hard hand in life and need the renewing power of Christ in such a desperate way.

---Pray for summer camps. I'll be leading camps, which I've never done before. Pray that God will make everything go smoothly.

---Pray for me. I'll be coming back in Kinmen in about two weeks to do a week of camp here. Then I'll be leaving. It's really, really, really hard to leave. I love this place, I love these people and I don't want to leave. :(

Love y'all!

---Pray for my high school class tonight. Joy and I are going to be presenting the gospel to them.

---Pray for the 9th graders at 秀才. I'll be going to see them for graduation next week and hope to have a chance to talk to them about the Gospel.

---Pray for Douglas, who is having a lot of pressure from his family to leave the faith. I'm hoping to meet up with him while in Taiwan next week and encourage him to stay strong.
