This week we want to follow up on a prayer request we sent out last month.   We asked for prayer as there was to be a huge temple event taking place near us, aiming to gather 10,000 idols.

We did not go to look for ourselves, so are dependent on the report from a Taiwanese pastor’s wife:
There were very, very few idol parades on the streets. The streets were relatively quiet and traffic was disrupted less than had been expected.  Though it was claimed that over 4,000 idols came, the crowds were small.  A typhoon hit Taiwan during that time and affected some of the planned events. Their church used that time to distribute Gospel tracts in the city.  A total of 15,700 tracts were sent out. Please pray that every tract will be read, and that God’s Word will produce fruit in their lives.  Pray for peoples’ spiritual eyes to be opened, and for there to be an unquenchable desire in their hearts to know Christ Jesus.

Actually that is a good way to pray for the residents of Baozhong too.  We want the students whom we teach, the children that attend the story time on Saturday, the youth that come to the drop-in evening, and the adults that come to the worship time to be attracted to knowing Jesus.

As you talk to God about the gospel work in Baozhong, you are participating in a very significant way.  Thank-you!
