Prayers
Pray for Becky as she serves in Taiwan. Ask God to give her peace and patience as she adjusts to a new language, a new culture and a new way of working. Pray that the Lord would open up opportunities for her to use her gifts in service to the church in both Taiwan and in other Asian countries. Ask God also to open the hearts of those she meets to hear the Gospel and come to know the Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us give thanks that Becky is serving God’s children in this part of the world.
