MISSING MARTHA
It has been a short time since Martha's passing to be with her Lord on june 29th. While we rejoice in her blessed state, we miss her hand of leadership, which guided ERRChina since its founding in 1986.
We are thankful for the many words of comfort and support affirming your love for Martha and joy in the Lord's work through her diligent decades of faithful service.
Please continue to pray for Martha's husband and family as they confront their loss.
The family plans to have Martha's memorial service in late October, giving them time to plan with their church and arrange for an appropriate event in view of the large reach encompassed by her life and ministry through ERRChina/CAC. We hope that those who can, will attend in person, and those who cannot attend in person will be able to stream the service.
Please continue to pray for ERRChina/CAC board, staff, fellows and volunteers as we confront this transition. And pray that we are attentive to the Lord's leading as we press on with the ministry, projects, programs and vision that Martha dedicated her life to over the past almost forty years.
May the Lord richly bless you,
Thank you for your faithful support of ERRChina's people and ministries.
