Thank-you for praying for the activities of the past week.  There were quite a few children that attended the afternoon program. The photo shows the contrast we saw on Saturday evening, with a temple on the left side of the plaza used for the VGM evangelistic outreach.  We were thankful for all who attended and heard the gospel message. This included some of our friends.  Please pray for God to keep working as there are many things that potentially hinder them from considering to believe in Christ.  Pray we will have opportunities to talk about what was shared when we are with people.

Lorne travelled to Taipei today to visit with Rev. Kao, pastor of the Songshan Alliance Church and president of the Taiwan C&MA.  It was encouraging to hear the commitment that church has to help in both the Baojhong and Sihhu church works.  Please pray that God will help us to dream His dreams of how to work together and to know how to involve other churches that might be interested.

We see the above as important, because we have heard that the only Christian church in town, the Presbyterian Church in an outlying village, officially closed last month.  This town needs an active Christian witness.  “God, please send workers and please build Your church.”

Those on FaceBook may have already noticed the exciting news that our son Philip and his wife Bethany are expecting—twins!  Please pray for them as they prepare for the births, probably early February.  There will be a number of things they will need to do over the next months in preparation, while caring for Juliet who has recently walked her first steps.  It is a busy time at their house!
