Dear Praying Friends, 
 
On my "real" desktop, I have a verse that reminds me of what I desire my determined purpose to be:
 
"[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him (Christ) [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death."  (Philippians 3:10, Amplified Translation)
 
This verse is the Spring Semester Theme for our Navigator Fellowship at National Changhua University of Education, which beings with our 3-day "Kick-Off Retreat" tomorrow. This verse is also the daily prayer focus for the Taiwan Navs during March and April.
 
As you read about Paul's determined purpose, would you pray it becomes ours as well?
 
Thanks for bringing us before the Throne,
 
Dan and Grace
