Plans are Changing

The short-term team has arrived.  BUT on the day they arrived the government issued an order cancelling all activities at schools.  The decision is an effort by the political leaders to protect people from contracting the coronavirus flu.  Following that directive, we have cancelled the Elementary School Camp scheduled to begin Monday Feb. 3.  It is a disappointment for everyone.

This decision means the plan for what the short-term team would do while visiiting us is now changing.  The focus will now be to show various ministries being done in Taiwan.  The hope is that God will use this to make clear how our partnership with their church might step up to the next level.  Does God only want them to help us with camps, or is there something else they can become involved in?

We do not know what God is planning for this week, but we are excitedly anticipating that He has something special planned for all of us.

Please pray for God’s protection as we explore God’s will together.

Prayer Requests

  • Please pray for opportunities to witness for Christ in the midst of the flu epidemic here in East Asia.  (So far, Taiwan has less cases than many of the surrounding countries.)
  • Please pray for safety as we do more driving with the short-term team than was originally planned.  Pray that God will use the prayer times and what we see to help us dream about future developments for our partnership.
  • Pray that international workers in our region will have wisdom to know how to be safe during this epidemic.  Pray for God’s protection.
