Please pray for all the activities that will happen at the planned Village Gospel Mission DVBS August 8-11 in Baojhong.  The plan is for:

• 2:15 – 4:15 PM:  Children’s activities
• 4:30 – 5:30 PM:  Visitation in the community
• 7 – 9 PM (Aug 11): Community Evangelistic Service

Workers are from the church in Dongshih Harbour (about one hour south).  Lorne will also have an opportunity to meet and discuss strategy with Rev. Chen during those days.

Weather and circumstances permitting, we have scheduled a Friday meeting with Rev. Jordan Yang, Vice-President of the Taiwan C&MA, to discuss the strategy for the Baojhong church work.  Rev. Yang oversees the Church Department that includes all church plants.  Please pray for good communication and for God to help us to have a clear sense of His will for partnership in the Baojhong work.

The Yunlin County church plants being led by the international workers sent by the US C&MA request that we would support them in prayer as follows:

• Tim and Penny have a short-term team here this week.  Planned events are a children’s English camp, a night market outreach, and English camp wind-up event.  They are fighting sickness as they enter the week.  There is also a typhoon threatening to disrupt (cause the cancellation of) the activities.  Please pray for God to intervene so that evangelistic activities can proceed.
• The Sihhu Alliance Church will host a short-term team from Korea August 5-9.  Please pray for God to use the prayer and the activities to bring people to faith in Christ.

Lorne was able to spend time on Saturday drinking tea at Mr. Hô’s hardware store.  It was a good opportunity to meet people and to practice using Taiwanese.  Please pray that God will give more opportunities like that.
