We've returned from our trip to Southeast Asia, and our family experienced the Father's grace in amazing ways.
As we began the 24-hour travel by plane to the other
side of the world to serve fellow overseas workers there, the feelings of
inadequacy hit us: we felt unprepared and unfit for what the
Father wanted us to do. There was so much to do and, at that point, it seemed
like there was not enough time to get everything done. We had to trust the
Father and rely on Him since we couldn't do this in our own strength.
Evidently, it was just the place He wanted us, and during the
conference we saw His power made perfect in our weakness. When we didn't
know if we could do it, He gave us all we needed to minister to others, and
He certainly used your prayers to enable us to carry out our ministry and
many were blessed because of it. Thank you so much!
Just one of the many ways we were able to serve our team in
Asia was through leading the music each day at our staff conference. Since the
staff serve in regions where gathering and worshiping is prohibited, it was an
encouraging and refreshing time for everyone to join together and sing praises
freely.
After the conference, we visited friends serving in
Southeast Asia who we knew from our training in the U.K. It was great catching
up and hearing about their work among the unreached. We also discussed
developing partnerships with them and other workers for our new overseas
internship, starting next year.
Jadynn and Jonathan, Jr. did great during our trip! They
slept most of the flight and had good health during our travels. Thanks for
lifting them up! They enjoyed meeting new friends and trying new things. Here,
they are excited about their Tuk Tuk ride in town (like a motorcycle with a
carriage!).
Thanks again for all your prayers and support and for your
partnership in the work, as we served, assisted, and encouraged those working
with the unreached of Asia!
All our love,
Jonathan, Robynn, Jadynn, and Jonathan, Jr.
