Just look at this handsome little man!
Our friends from the University of Oklahoma (not State!)
What's been happening:
Hello again from Surabaya! We are so happy to
have our FOCUS team here from OU
(Not OSU, contrary to what the sign reads in the picture above…). The students and I got a
good kick out of that, though. They have been working very hard at building
relationships with young people here and sharing truth with the lost or
encouraging other believers. We’re so proud of them! The team from Texas has been working hard as well, but in a nearby city. They have been spending a lot of time with our friends, Adam & Eve. One has already professed faith already and has been dunked! PTL!!!
A while back Jon met a young man, “Noah”, through a mutual
friend (Angie) who is going back to the States indefinitely. She has been very
influential in Noah’s life as she has shared with him and studied the
Scriptures with him. As we met with him at a roadside coffee shop last week, Noah professed faith in JC! Even before this
profession he had already been leading two groups on his campus where they
study the scriptures together. Needless to say, I am really excited to continue
on with the discipleship process with this special young man. Please pray for
Noah! His father is the leader of a m0sque, and as powerful as his testimony
can be, he is likely in for some really daunting persecution. Even so, he is so hungry to study the Word and pass on what he is learning to his friends on his campus. Pray for us that we will have wisdom from above on how to go about this unique discipleship process.
What's coming up:
Ellie is on her way to camp as I type this
letter! This is her first year to go to Camp Miki where dozens of other MKs
will gather together, study scripture, learn about God, and have tons of fun.
She will be a week away from Mom & Dad. Please pray that she would be
safe, have sweet fellowship with her friends, and have a special encounter with
the Lord.
Our family will be travelling out of town to
our annual meeting in one week. We will be leaving behind our volunteers for several
days. Please continue to pray for them, as they will be participating in
three different culture exchanges while we are gone.
Please pray for Jon as he continues to meet
with Noah and his friends.
Blessings to you and your family,
The Guffys
Things to Remember:
·
Pray for our Indonesian partners as they search for
new work. We have officially closed our English course and they are looking for
a consistent income.These folks are such faithful servants. My prayer is that they could start their own non-profit ministry that could support them and provide them an outlet for reaching the lost. Pray for God's will in their lives.
·
Please pray for Ellie while she is at camp. Pray that
she will be safe and that she will come back a changed little girl.
·
Please pray for Noah as he grows in his faith. Pray that he would continue to hunger
for God’s word.
·
Pray for our summer volunteers from OU &
Texas. Pray that God will speak
through them and that they would have many more opportunities to share truth.
This is "Noah". Pray for him!
Our friend, Angie, with two other students who are studying with us.
