James 1:16-18
"So don`t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession."
Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,
Greetings from Mississippi! As summer approaches, I am reminded of the intense heat and the high humidity of the south. Thank you for your prayers and support as we look to Him in this place.
FAMILY UPDATE
God is faithful! He has given many opportunities to reach out to the people right here. Through working in Japanese translation at Nissan, God has opened doors to meet new people and make new friends.
Last Sunday, we all had good fun with five friends from Japan working temporarily at Nissan. We attended morning Church service together and enjoyed eating good American hamburgers at the local Five Guys Restaurant.
Pastor David Hale, of Christlife Church of the Highlands, (the local church we attend) shared on the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. Michelle and I sat behind our friends and translated the Gospel into Japanese.
What a powerful Gospel and a Great God we serve. This message transcends all language and culture and speaks to the heart and soul of all people.
He truly is the hope of all mankind!
BALLET MAGNIFICAT - SUMMER INTENSIVE
Abigail have been given opportunity to attend this year`s summer intensive. Abigail has done all she can to raise support for this intensive, but is still in need of finances for room and board. As God places it in your heart to sow a seed to her for this opportunity, please make your checks out to "Antioch International Ministries" and designate that your gift goes to Abby. Checks can be mailed to 246 Cowden Road, New Wilmington, PA 16142. Or, if you do not need tax-exemption, feel free to send your check to 209 Glenwood Drive, Madison, MS 39110.
Our dream of raising up our children to go to the nations is being realized. Thank you!
Meanwhile, pray for Jake as he looks to the trainee program starting in the fall!
APPRECIATION
We can`t say enough how much we love and appreciate you. We love sharing the love of Jesus and representing the Kingdom in this place. Thank you so much for your ongoing prayers and financial support. As you obey His leading in sowing your seed this month, I know God has a harvest in store for you. What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you. (Galatians 6:10)
God bless you and look forward to hearing from you soon!
Blessings,
Mark Gulland (Michelle)
