August Praise and Prayer Guide
Yes, it is true that Cuernavaca is a city of “Eternal Spring.” We’ve unimaginably enjoyed the weather during the month of July, while many of you, unfortunately, have been lashed by the extreme heat. Each day here ends with a precious drop of fresh rain, sometimes with lightening and thunders. Our kids have grown up that they no longer are afraid of noisy thunders, as if yelling at us. They have found many friends in the neighborhood. We also met other missionaries in town and had a wonderful fellowship with them.
Praises & Prayer concerns:
(1) We had a fruitful trip to Chiapas. 10 out of 15 students from the Bible Institute took a preaching course. They were very attentive to lecture. We thank God for Pastor Jose’s faithful work at the Institute. Also Elder Eusebio taught a course. After a week long study, many people gave us Chiapas coffee and a big bottle of authentic honey to appreciate our visit to their church. It was for the Lord after all.
(2) Please pray for Esdras and Eusebio who just graduated from the Reformed seminary in Mexico City. Esdras is yet to be assigned to any ministry in his presbytery. He is praying that God would give him a place to serve His people.
(3) Pray for Miguel Angel and Esmeralda. Miguel Angel was our children’s Tae Kwon Do trainer. They have been wandering from church to church for the last 2-3 years. Now they returned back to the catholic church in town. They had also been to the Adventist church and Jehovah Witness kingdom hall. We pray that God will show them a way to grow in the Spirit.
(4) Cuernavaca has been a ministry base to WEC missionaries. Though each one doing his own ministry, we do face great need to share resources and cooperate each other in reaching out the lost and build the global church of God.
(5) It's again the time to renew our missionary visa. Pray that the address change and the process of getting visa go well, though our lawyer expressed worrysome concerns.
(6) 8/4-5: Ministry Alliance in Morelos Sate (AMEM) had a mission conference. The reality and ministry opportunity to unreached people groups, including North Korea, had be introduced to 500+ children. For the adults, a couple of missionaries spoke of the importance of our churches to be missionary and visionary entities.
(7) 8/14: About a dozen of Korean missionaries in central Mexico is scheduled for a dayout fellowship. It will be nearby town of Cuernavaca. Pray that we will unite and support each other's ministry.
(8) 8/19-20: We will visit a church in Guerrero state where Pastor Jose Ocampo has frequently been visiting. We will assist a baptism service. Pray for our trip and future ministry with the church.
(9) 8/22: Reformed presbyterian seminary (STPM) begins its school year. Please pray for us as we join the faculty. We wish to lecture God's men and women with His wisdom. Pray also for more new students.
(10) Updates on Keith, Elaine’s brother: He has been able to preach at numerous retreats. He will also start a new ministry for youth dept. at his church in addition to start working for Korean Christian Community Development. Thank you for your faithful prayers for him.
We bless you with God's priceless blessings. The Lees.
