Business Meeting

We attended the Taiwan C&MA Business Meeting last Saturday.

At  the meeting, they formally accepted the Baozhong Alliance Church plan to raise funds and plan to purchase a facility within five years. The financial plan included that we are asking for donations toward the facility down payment from our Canadian friends. If you would like to contribute, you may do so here.

While we were doing that, the opening ceremonies for the National Games were held in Yunlin. (That is the county where we live.) It is the first important sports event held at a newly constructed stadium, located about 20 minutes drive from our home.

We saw delegations from other parts of Taiwan, guessing they were athletic teams because of their uniforms. Visits to local prominent temples were included in their itinerary. It likely was considered to be a natural part of Taiwan culture and was easily accepted by those planning their time in Yunlin.

Please pray for the Christian church in Taiwan to boldly find relevant ways to share the gospel enabling people to be freed from the bondage of idol worship.

Praise and Prayer

• Please continue to pray asking God for three more baptisms prior to the end of the calendar year. It seems unlikely to happen, but God is the One able to do the seemingly impossible. We continue to pray and ask for this.
• The Baozhong Alliance Church will hold a Service of Thanksgiving on Sunday, October 26 to celebrate 10 years of Sunday services. The church considers this to be its Tenth Anniversary. Stories of what God has done in the past will be shared. The vision for the future will be shared by Pastor Joshua. Lorne will share words of encouragement and challenge.  Please pray that what is said and done will bring glory to Christ.
