Blessing
What does it mean to bless someone? What do you say” What do you do?
These are questions that we are reminded to ask ourselves each year as we approach the Lunar New Year Holiday. As the Taiwanese prepare to celebrate what is also known as the “Spring Festival,” they also prepare written blessings that can be posted around the doorway of their home or business. Prominent people in the community will also distribute their “blessing” that is usually related to the Chinese zodiac symbol for the new year.
As we have done in the past, the church has designed and printed its own blessings. On the back is a message that Jesus cares about individuals, families and communities. This year Baozhong Alliance Church has prepared four different blessings for distribution.
- 福 Blessing
- 身體健康 Good Health
- 學業成功 Success in Studies
- 出入平安 Peace in Your Coming and Goings
Please pray that these pieces of paper will be a channel to help people find blessing in Christ. Praying Together
- Thank-you for praying for the meetings last week. We heard stories of God at work, were challenged by great spiritual teaching, and have much to reflect on as we seek to live for Christ.
- Please pray that God will use our week of vacation to refresh us. (This means we probably won’t answer right away if you write to us.)
- Please pray that God will help Pastor Joshua as he shoulders additional responsibilities while the Whites are away.
- Chinese New Year Blessing tracts are being distributed. Please pray God will use these blessings to challenge people to think about their need to believe in Jesus.
- Please pray for believers to have opportunities to talk to their families about Jesus Christ as they celebrate the Lunar New Year together with their families.
