Greetings from Taiwan:

 
Happy Mother’s Day!  “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land theLordyour God is giving you.” (Exo 20:12)  It is fitting and right to give honor where honor is due, and there is no better or biblical place to start than with the one who brought us into this world!  I love you, Mom!
 
Chong-Ze Lien (James) and Guo-Wei Lee (Wendy) were wed by me yesterday at Luce Chapel, on the campus of Tung Hai University, in front of more than 200 guests.  It was a beautiful wedding, full of surprises, tears and joy.  The members of Come Christian Church did an outstanding job of helping out with the wedding, including singing a song during the wedding. Foremost was the desire of this new Christian couple was to glorify God with their lives and their marriage, and to testify that God is the only true source of love. It has been a joy for Brenda and I to walk alongside them during this walk of faith.  Please pray for them as they begin their life together as husband and wife!
 
There are just a couple weeks left in the school year for Brenda and Noah.  After that, we will begin really packing stuff up in preparation for loading a shipping container in mid-June.  Please pray, as these are extremely full days.
 
Sports & English Camp is just around the corner, and we are in prep-mode here. Please pray for the 144 students who are enrolled to attend, as well as the 46 faculty members who are scheduled to participate. Please pray that many, many will determine that following Jesus is the most important decision they will ever make!
 
Thank you for your partnership with us in this ministry!  The May newsletter will be coming to you this coming week, full of exciting things the Lord has done!  Happy Mother’s Day!
 
All for God’s Glory Among the Nations,
Dave & Brenda Atkin
