2012 Update #38

Thank-you for praying for the volunteer English teaching being done in the elementary schools.  The largest elementary school in town, Baojhong Elementary School, has asked Lorne to help with English classes on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings.  In addition to talking with the students, there is an opportunity to tell a Bible story.  The first story that is being told is about Daniel being taken captive to Babylon and not wanting to eat the king’s food.  Please pray that as more stories are told there will be opportunities to talk to the teacher and students outside of classes.

Friday afternoon at Chaurtsuo Elementary also went well!  The school has asked some parents and teachers to be present to help maintain classroom control.  This is also a great way for us to become acquainted with more people from the community.

Tuesday morning this week, we will spend time sharing and praying with the US C&MA missionaries serving in Taiwan.  We are looking forward to that.  Please pray that all who attend will be encouraged from God’s Word and from the fellowship.

We are thankful for new next door neighbours.  They moved in while we were away in Canada.  We are enjoying the friendship that has been developing.  They have been able to introduce us to some local people who are helping us with some of the house repairs.  We are looking forward to getting to know the Chang family better.

Thanks for being a part of the team that participates in the Baojhong ministry through prayer.
