Dear Our[1]
Partners,
Thanksgivings: Praise our Lord, Eva
and I have successful finished our second year of theological training, Eva
inducted to the PsicChi Int. Honor Society and I survived through a long year
of Hebrew Grammar.
News: Last week, we
invited a group of Asians students for dinner to celebrate the faithfulness of
God and had great sharing about the fruits in ministry. Since last month, we
also started a couple to couple discipleship group in our current church. Now,
we are cheered up for our full bloom summer plan.
Prayers Request:
1. Please pray for peach and comfort
to Eva’s paternal family; our Grandpa is in ICU in China.
2. I have been following updates and
praying for GCAC’s needs, especially for the pastoral team, governing board,
pastoral searching committee, and different fellowships. Lest us not forget.
3. Please pray for our preparation
and more studies in this summer:
Tun- taking
Preaching, OT Exegesis: Conquest Narrative, and Prophetical Books
Eva- Family
Counseling, and full Summer practicum and professional seminar
Words from Philippians as To My
Partners: “To Preach Christ is
the Source of My Courage”
“…because I know how it’s going to turn out.
Through your faithful prayers and the generous response of the Spirit of Jesus
Christ, everything he wants to do in and through me will be done. I can hardly
wait to continue on my course. I don’t expect to be embarrassed in the least.
On the contrary, everything happening to me in this jail only serves to make
Christ more accurately known, regardless of whether I live or die. They didn’t
shut me up; they gave me a pulpit!” (Phil. 1:19-20 The Message)
I
want to learn from George Whitefield of this courageous attitude when he was a
young preacher,
“If
I had come to speak to you in my own name, you might rest your elbows upon your
knees and your heads on your hands, and go to sleep! …But I have come to you in
the name of the Lord God of hosts, and (he clapped his hands and stamped his
foot) ‘I must and I will be heard.’ The old man woke up startled.[2]
As always I am thankful for your
partnership with me, and with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary to bring the
gospel of Jesus Christ to a great multitude of needy people throughout the
earth.
With Gratitude in Christ,
Tom Chow

and prayer request from you!
