Everything beautiful begins with God.
Knox friends,
Thank you so much for the cards, notes, prayers, e-mails, gifts, etc. that I have received during my cancer journey. I am truly humbled by the love Knox has shown me. The prayers that have been lifted up on my behalf are what has healed me. God has blest me and I am anxious to get back into the service of my Lord.
Love,
Susan Friend

Lighthouse
There was a small Covid outbreak in Chiang Mai, so the schools were closed, and the kids studied online. Therefore, Sam, a Lighthouse caretaker, celebrated his birthday with a pizza party and family games. They all had a great time!
Please pray for one of the boys who sprained his ankle while playing soccer. He is recovering well, but continued prayers for his healing are appreciated.
Nong Tao
The kids have been studying these Bible verses:
John 3:16, Ephesians 5:16, and Psalm 128:1 and 46:1.
They have also learned a new Keren worship song.
Please pray for the children’s schooling, their health, for those who don’t believe to accept Christ, and for the families of Nong Tao’s children.
Chluday
Unfortunately we have not heard any reports from Chluday. Please keep them in your prayers!
If you have any questions, please email us at info@hopebridges.org
Grace and Peace,

CRU
Dear Friends at Knox Presbyterian Church,
We hope the beginning of 2021 has started well for you! What a blessing it is to partner together in ministry! We are incredibly grateful for your faithfulness in praying and giving as we serve with Cru. You are an integral part of what we do! Every time you receive this letter from us, you can know that we have prayed for you specifically and thanked the Lord for you!
The Cru movement at UMKC is thriving and has many community groups meeting weekly! This fall Dylan joined with a couple of other staff team members to reach students involved in fraternities and sororities. Starting a new movement from the ground up can be a challenge, but it is getting going! Before the spring semester started, this small team of staff members began praying and dreaming of what involving students in fraternities and sororities could look like. God has since brought three young ladies in their path that are excited to be a part of reaching their fellow Greek students! The staff and young students, two freshmen and a sophomore, are currently meeting together online every other week to pray, look deeper into a passage of Scripture, and talk through outreach ideas. Their next step is to get connected with the presidents of the fraternities and sororities, and then hopefully get to share what Cru is all about with these groups on campus!
Would you join us in praying that God would be working in these efforts to reach “Greek” students at the University of Missouri-Kansas City? Thank you for partnering with us. It is an honor to follow the Lord together!
Serving Him,
Dylan and Leslie Sullivan
