Ministry Update from the Power's Family

Sunday, September 23, 2018: Ministry Update from the Power’s family; On Christmas Day, it will be our 8th year anniversary of returning to the states after serving on the mission field.  As we all say time certainly does fly by and the last 8 years have been a blessing.  It has been a great time of learning for us as we raise our 2 children and continue to minister.  We are certainly blessed to have so many friends and family that stand with us.  Let me start this update by saying thank you.  The Bible speaks of the body of Christ and how each person has a role and if any part is missing then the whole body suffers.  I’m grateful for those that truly live out their role.  I don’t know where we would be without having so many walks with us, encourage us, teach us, mentor us, etc.  It is a beautiful thing.  Then there are those that have been so faithful supporting us over the years that we don’t get to see very often.   When we came back from Asia, we wanted to still support the children there.  I never would have thought that after 8 years we would still have support coming in for those kids.  I’m amazed and thankful.   You are all appreciated by us. Children in Southeast Asia the ministry to the children in Southeast Asia has had to change some since we left 8 years ago.  The country is developing fast and with that there have been laws enforced to protect children.  These laws are good but it made it difficult for the ministry to continue operating in the same manner.  In the past, the ministry used to be able to take kids off the street and put them in a home with a Christian caregiver. Now it is more difficult to do this because local authorities want to see legal documents giving them permission to house these kids.  This is very difficult to obtain especially for kids living on the street.  There are some children they have been able to navigate through the changing of laws and raise but the laws have altered the ministry.  Now the ministry does more projects focused on outreach to children as well as assisting with some basic needs like food, school supplies, school fees, and uniforms.  They also continue to have a ministry of reaching out to pregnant ladies that want to have an abortion.  They try to convince them to have the child and provide assistance, like housing for those that are sometimes rejected by their family. 
We are thankful for all that have continued to support these kids.  This year we have sent 2 checks for a total of $5,221. Thank you for your continued support.  Please continue to pray for this ministry. Our Family Update Jonathan (5) and Abigail (3) are growing fast.  This year we have one in kindergarten and the other in Wee school at a local church.  Our families continue to minister locally with Covenant Life Fellowship and host home meetings every other week.  Our heart is to see the body of Christ encouraged and equipped to spread the gospel.   This year Mei was able to lead a mission trip back to Malaysia where they ministered to migrant workers as well as churches and Muslim refuge children.  Neil recently got back from a mission trip to Kenya where the team held a women’s conference and crusade to preach the gospel.   Please keep our family and prayer as we continue minister and seek direction from the Lord.
