Dear Readers,
If the Lord lays it on your heart, I encourage you to give to the Cho family via the Five Little Gifts Campaign. The Chos attend Immanuel Bible Church -- the last church we attended before our move. The husband/father, Dave Cho, died of cancer in June after a valiant, Christ-centered struggle. Shelbie, Dave's wife, went into labor with their 5th child shortly after his death and must now support herself and their 5 children.
If you get a chance, please read through their whole journal -- HERE. Their story is such a testimony to us all in that in the face of the ultimate trial of terminal illness and certain death, they continued to give God all the glory. Unfortunately, we often fail to do so when the stakes are miniscule, so their example & testimony when facing such massive trial is invaluable.
I have printed out their whole journal and use it as a reminder of God's grace and how we are to respond. It brings to mind the powerful scripture found in 2 Cor. 12:9-10, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me... for when I am weak, then am I strong."
Lift up this family in your prayers. Please be encouraged by their testimony, and give as the Lord so leads as we will do!:-) NOTE: If you choose to write a check, please make it payable to the following: Friends of David and Shelbie Cho
In Christ, Talya |
