February Report

Dear Friends,
There is a lot of news in this short month because we had our Spiritual Emphasis Week, Lunar New Year’s celebration, start of swimming season, and more.
The Praise Team leads worship at every chapel and they were busy during the chapel services for the Spiritual Emphasis Week as well as for the normal Wednesday chapels. Please see a photo later on in the letter. Two former teachers who knew the kids and who were well known by the kids came and had the students in the palm of their hands during the chapel messages. The purity seminar was great for the boys as he spoke on being a man of honor. I was told the girls equally enjoyed theirs.
I had the chapel service immediately following the Spiritual Emphasis Week and I used the theme “Why do you believe what you believe?” as I followed the emphasis of the speaker of the week. We do our sermons in PowerPoint so the students who are weak in their grasp of the English language can have a visual aid.
Yong Hui stays busy leading her Hodos Group Bible Study as she is going through the Experiencing God book.
I have really been busy at Camp Red Cloud. I led one study on the strategy for being a man who is able to defeat the enemy in the Wild At Heart study. We have a great time of study and fellowship at 0800 hours every other Saturday.

Please pray for:
• I led one girl to the Lord last week. She had felt she had such a great sin that Jesus would not accept her and I took her through several passages and then down the Romans Road and she accepted Jesus. Pray for Rose and her friend Kimi who was able to perceive it was time to bring her to an adult.
• For Yong Hui in her ladies Bible Study which is now called the Hodos Group (Greek for The Way)
• Pray for Tammy who has some major decisions to make.
• Pray for Jason who is still looking for a permanent job.
• Pray for our seniors who are busily seeking colleges to attend. Pray they will have patience as they wait. Several are still taking SAT tests or SAT-II. Some of the juniors have started to take these tests.
• We have all our staff for next year finalized. Pray for the two new teachers.
• Pray for our Experiencing God Sunday School class which finished next Sunday.
• Pray for the Wild At Heart Men’s Group at Camp Red Cloud and lift up all the chapel staff of the 2nd Infantry Division. Pray for the National Day of Prayer which will be celebrated on 1 Mar at Camp Red Cloud with the Division Commander, MG Coggin speaking on the Warrior’s Faith.
• Pray for one of the chaplains Chris who is in the hospital with a burst appendix.
• Pray for the swimming team. Our verse is 2 Tim 4:7 “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.” We have 5 swimmers who cannot complete one lap and they are distraction for the 8 serious swimmers. So, I need to build them up (during the season) without disrupting the hard practice for the team. Coach Annalisa Benner is helping me and she has been great.
• Pray for our return trip to the Joint Security Area on 1Mar as I have a VIP tour lined up that will enable me to visit the Panmunjom Axe Murder site with the battalion commander of the JSA.
