From 1/20/09

This is an e-mail that Renee, the missionary who we are working with in Taiwan just sent to us. She is referring to the location where we are going to be holding the retreat for the ladies in Taiwan. We thought that we were going to be able to use a meeting room/rooms in an apartment building, but some things have come up with that. Please read the following email and be in prayer that it either works out with this building or that God provides a new and more perfect location.

Ok ladies,
I need your prayers and if you have any discernment on this I want to hear it. Susan (from my English Bible Study) has been working on getting us the building. Before I left the States I was told it looks like a go. I was told day before yesterday, it's a go with a twist. The apartment complex's management company said we can do it there but we can't invite people who don't live in the apartment building (this was not expected, my Bible study is done there and many of the ladies don't live there). The woman Susan has been contacting is very supportive of us and wants us to be there - it's the board that's saying no. Anyway, this needs your prayers! The building needs to be confirmed (for anyone we want to invite) ASAP! I believe this is the enemy trying to throw a wrench into what the Lord wants to do BUT In Jesus Name - he will not succeed! I do have some ladies helping us look at different locations but I'm struggling with letting go of this place. This is where I've felt the Lord wants it all along and I am willing to change if that's what the Lord wants but He needs to direct us to the place and we need it to be confirmed yesterday!
Please be praying! I will keep you informed as things progress (hopefully extremely quickly),
renee
