Good evening dear family and friends,
"The God who fills the universe
imploded to become a peasant baby who had to learn to walk and talk and dress
himself. In the incarnation, God's Son deliberately "handicapped"
himself, exchanging omniscience for a brain that learned Aramaic phoneme by
phoneme, omnipresence for 2 legs and an occasional donkey; omnipotence for arms
strong enough to saw wood.... Instead of overseeing a hundred billion
galaxies at once, he looked out on a narrow alley in Nazareth..... Because of
Jesus, we need never question God's desire for intimacy. " (Reaching
for the Invisible God by Philip Yancey) Read this a week ago and it's still
speaking to me, to humble myself, to forgive, to look at Jesus.
Apo's Mom and Dad came by over the New Year. Always a
joy to see them. They come to collect supplies for Apo's catheter and
wounds. So faithful in taking care of their son amidst very hard
circumstances. Gave away another 100 cars. Thankful to continue Gideon's
legacy in this small way. Thank you for your prayer for Anton. He shared
the other night that he had another conversation with an atheist boy and he is
looking forward to talk with him again.
One of our staff's father passed away last week.
Please pray for the family for comfort and peace. During the father's sickbed,
the mother shared that the Christians are good, they help and pray. Pray that
this testimony would bring her to consider and ask more questions about
Jesus. Twans shares how you can see more clearly what people really
believe at a funeral. The family painted a white cross on the baby's forehead.
They explained that it is to prevent the Grandfather's spirit, who passed away,
from entering the baby. Quite a number of her students would share how
they see ghosts, especially at night. Please continue to pray for them,
especially the young believers who are confronted with spiritual practices and
beliefs and a "battle not against flesh and bone."
Thank you for your continues prayers
Love
