We would like to ask you to pray with us for Albert and Elaine Lu, along with their three children Elise, Liana, and Nathaniel.  Albert and Elaine are working through the process of becoming C&MA Canada international workers appointed to Taiwan.  Albert is currently on staff at First Alliance Church in Toronto.  Over the next few months they will be working through the process to get medical clearance, get final approval from the C&MA leadership, final orientation sessions, applying for visas, preparing their children for transition, etc.  If appointed, they could possibly arrive in Taiwan to begin language study as early as this summer.  Please pray for them and their extended families as they go through this process of confirming God’s leading.

Please pray for healing for Lorne.  He has injured the nerve in his leg, resulting in a loss of the ability to lift the toe of his left foot.  The doctor is hopeful that the nerve will grow and heal over time, but says it could be a slow process.  The loss of movement influences his walking.

On Thursday evening and all day Friday, Lorne will attend the Taiwan Alliance Church Union Strategy Meetings for pastors.  The presentations this year will be on healthy church growth.  Lorne will also be discussing with Pastor Andy Chi about how the Deep Grace Alliance Church is willing to partner with our church planting ministry.  Please pray for a sense of unity and mutual encouragement as the pastors meet together.

Because Lorne will be away, Kathy-Lu will be by herself to teach the English class at Chaurtsuo Elementary School.  Please pray for extra enabling for her, and that the students will be cooperative, wanting to learn.
