Update from Willinliu

I recently received an update from Willinliu, our missionary in Bhutan. She is doing well, and steadfast in her conviction and calling as a missionary. But her work is not without trials. Her landlord recently started the rumor that she was past due on her rent. The accusation caused her much grief, but since then, the landlord has recanted. After his confession, Willinliu says “my joy knows no bounds.”

Willinliu has begun a home Bible study. Recently she had six people coming to hear her share from the Bible. She has been fearful that they would quit coming because she didn’t have chairs for them, but they come anyway and sit on the floor to hear the word. I wonder if we are as hungry and eager to hear God’s word?

In every letter, Willinliu asks for our continued prayers. We have the capacity to overwhelm her with money, but what she desires and covets is our prayers. Pray that God’s name would be magnified through her witness in the Kingdom of Bhutan.

We couldn’t sustain a viable ministry effort in Asia without a partner. That partner is HeartCry Missionary Society. Next week, Matt Glass will be preaching both services here at Tharptown. Matt is the Asian Missions Coordinator for HeartCry and our primary link with Willinliu. Take time to pray for Matt as God prepares him to bring us His word.
