Back in Taiwan!

I have been home now for almost 2 weeks and I have to say, it is good to be home...in spite of the heat and humidity. I am thankful for the time I had with family and friends (both old and new) from March to July, and feel renewed and ready to fully engage in whatever God has prepared for me here.

This week I have the opportunity to introduce Inductive Bible study to a church. I will have one session with the whole church on Sunday, then 4 more sessions in the evenings this week for whomever comes. I am asking God to set their hearts on fire with a desire for Himself and for them to see that studying His word will enable them to know Him more intimately.

Next week the four Exodus classes begin in Taipei, Hsinchu and Taichung. There are 30 people signed up to study this time. Please pray with me for some people from these groups to be raised up as future leaders of Bible studies. I know there are people with the gifts to do it...it is just a matter of calling and commitment.

Please pray for the staff and the direction of Precept Taiwan, as well. There are some changes in the wind and all of us need to know confidently that we are in the place of God's purpose for us individually and as an organization. I, as the leader, really need His wisdom and courage to lead each step.
