Prayer Request for Wen-Tao Chen

Dear Friends:

Although with significant improvements, thanks to all your prayers, my father will still need a spin surgery on 12/24 in Taiwan University Hospital . I am flying home tomorrow to be with my family. Would you please ask the community to continue praying for him, especially for the success of the surgery?

We put everything in God hands and hope He will keep blessing us with His grace.

I would also like to thank the friends of SJCCC. Thank you all for your prayers and warm regards.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

God bless,
Maria Chen

If you did not get a calendar, stop by the bookstand next week and see if Prof. George still has one for you.
