Historic Site
While on vacation we visited a historic church that was built in 1971. The Sun Moon Lake Church of Christ was built by Taiwan’s President and First Lady so that they could attend services while vacationing in the mountains. For many years the church was closed to the public.
The building was damaged in the 1999 Jiji earthquake and the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area Administration became responsible for the property. After restoration, a private bidder was found to open the building to the public. Sunday services resumed. Pastors from nearby churches are requested to come and preach.
It was a blessing to meet a retired pastor, Rev You, who is there to greet visitors to the building. In addition to talking about the history, he talks to people about their religious beliefs. He is introducing people to Christ Jesus–the God who is alive and trustworthy.
It is exciting to discover creative ways that are being used to share the good news about Jesus with people who have not yet heard. Please pray that God will continue to give creativity to Christ-followers so that the message of salvation can be told to more people.
Please pray that God will give us creativity to communicate God’s love in ways that will touch people’s hearts leading them to belief in Christ.
