Waiting

Waiting for an impatient man is one of the most difficult things for me to do. Waiting seems to bring out the worst in me. (Hmmm.... maybe that is God's goal here, patience.) I find anger rising as I wait in the line at Walmart as the clerk can't preform their job to my standards. How about you, Do you get angry? Ever call AT&T for help and found yourself waiting and waiting and waiting for the "service" you need and finally get a person on the phone only to be put on hold and then have the call dropped? I get angry about that but God reminds me of how patient He has been with me in the past and even now.

The fruit of God's Spirit is, Love, Joy, Peace and then Patience. It is now 3 years since teaching the Bible in China. I ask God, "when are you sending me back?"... Well I am still waiting for that answer. His words come to me,  Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. (1 Timothy 4:13). So I am teaching on Saturday nights to pre-adolescent children at Calvary Chapel, Plantation FL. 

It is amazing that as I teach God teaches me so much. There is power in the spoken word so go out yourselves and speak about what God has done in his-tory and in your life also. Abide in His words so you will not be spoken of by our Lord, "you seek to kill me because My Words have no place in you".

Be blessed today, Hank Stout

Whats New with us

Well it was over a year ago we went to China to start a new school there. We could not post to our blog while there. The Gvt has it blocked as well as facebook, twitter etc.

We did start the school and made 4 disciples from the group of students we had. It was a long year with trials and tribulations. The fruit of 3 new believers and 4 disciples was well worth the time, money and troubles. If you helped by praying or financial support you share in the harvest and the Joy of our father.

Since our return i have begun a new work. To put the Chinese bible into a one year, chronological order for the building up and equipping the church there (Eph 4:11-12).

Also we are beginning a new ministry called "Life Training Institute China". It will be run through Calvary Chapel Gainesville (FL). We will be filing for our corporation soon and then applying for the IRS's 501c3 status for tax deduction purposes.

Hope to have a website up and running soon. Blessings to you all, Hank

Well we have 2 weeks till blastoff. God provided a tenant for our condo. We are continuing to pack and give away things. Praying for support for the students monthly expense of $90 each X 8. Praying for the apartment they will live, study and praise God in. Help them by praying for them. Hank

April fools day is past but fools are still believing the lie that Jesus isn't the only way.

We are packing and purging our lives of all the worldly things we really don’t need. It has not been easy. Pray that we take only the things He would want us to have in China and that the enemy has no hold on us through physical possessions.

We need prayer for the move to China.

Busy Cleaning House

We are both busy purging our apartment of things we love but don't need. We sold our 42" LCD TV to fund our trip. I sold my Surfboard too :-( A lamp went today. We still have a Tiffany bowl, some guns, artificial plants ( I kill real ones, hehe) entertainment center, antique chairs, rollerblades, skates, jewelry etc. We are serious about China and pray that things will sell, other donations will come in and that God will do what only He can do. That He open doors for me to speak and share the vision. That He be Glorified.
Remember us in your prayers, Hank, Ann & Andrew

DONE WITH INCOME TAX RETURN

Just one more thing done but a lot to do. Working on prayer support. Trying to book the chepest flight. So far we are looking at 4 to 4.5 thousand for the 3 of us. Please pray for low fares to come our way.

Hello today, We are excited to go to China again. This time we have a specific ministry goal, to start a mini-bible college. We are in need of your prayers and support.

We need prayer for the following:

1. That our 2/2 furnished condo in Pompano Beach will rent.
2. That we can raise enough support to go in March or April
3. For my new Passport to come soon.
4. For our visa's to China
5. That all the loose ends will come together before we leave.

IF YOU CAN FINANCIALLY SUPPORT US... WOW THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!
