We are thankful for those who hear our sharing and respond by praying. We were very encouraged by the prayers of the Mountainview Prayer Group last week. It was also good to visit and see friends at North Richmond Alliance Church yesterday.
Meanwhile in Taiwan
Thursday (Sept. 15) is Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the second most important time of the year (behind Chinese New Year) for families to gather together. Barbecuing, looking at the full moon, and setting off fireworks are common activities for this holiday. However, this year the Taiwanese have an unwelcome guest–a strong typhoon named Meranti. It appears that travel and celebrations will be affected, and possibly the events mentioned below: 1) Short-term Team Visit
A team from Toronto Simpson Alliance Church is arriving in Baozhong. Their focus will be to pray onsite for the church, its ministry, and the community. They will also assist the church members with a Mid-Autumn Festival Community Outreach Event. Please pray for their safety in the typhoon conditions, and for God to provide opportunities for the ministry that is on the Father’s heart.
2) Saturday, Children and Family Ministry Kick-Off
A Mid-Autumn Festival Event has been planned for Saturday, September 17 for the Fall start of the Saturday Children’s Club. The church’s club ministry is being expanded to include a “Family Relationships Seminar” for parents and other adults in the community that will run concurrently with the Children’s Club time. Albert and Elaine ask that we will pray for a spiritual breakthrough so that children can consistently attend. They also desire to see adults willing to commit to attending the adult event. This effort and request for prayer are part the the strong sense our ministry team has to see people going deeper in their relationships with Christ.
Thank-you for being on mission with God: Everyone, Everywhere, All the time.
Lorne and Kathy-Lu
