Hello from Macau. Thank you for the many kind words of encouragement and blessing from our last communication. We find ourselves in an “in-between” state of preparing to step back from Macau and continuing to work in Macau until we leave in June. Appreciate your prayers for guidance in this season.
This past week Larry met with Pastor Lam, the principle of the Macau Bible Institute. <https://www.macaubible.org> Pastor Lam shared many of the needs and opportunities the school is facing. We invite you to join with us in praying for three important matters related to the school:
Pastor Lam: his workload is rather overwhelming and he could really use some help and some time to be refreshed. He will be traveling for a family wedding soon. May the Lord multiply his time in a way that restores and refreshes.
The school is dealing with issues ranging from the need to renovate facilities to a lack of teachers who are local. May the Lord give wisdom and guidance to the administration of these matters.
Students: Macau’s Protestant Christian population is rather small and so the pool of potential students remains a source of challenge for the school. May the Lord provide resources for the right students to commit to studies at the right time.
I’ll leave you with this prayer from the Lectio 365 daily devotional:
“Father, thank You for always welcoming me, on my best days, my worst days, and all the days in-between. Fill my heart today with the deep welcome of Your presence, and open my eyes to the way You are interrupting even my best plans with Your pursuing love.”
