Prayers
“My main prayer request,” Stephen writes, “is that I would learn the Bible and Chinese well with a heart that is pleasing to the Lord (1 Cor. 13:1). I pray that God will give me His love for Chinese people so that through this ministry, the Spirit will work fruitfully in many people’s lives.” Let us give thanks that the Oliver family is serving God’s children in this part of the world.
