Taiwan – Hidden in Plain Sight Ministry 

Basketball Camp Report

The 3-on-3 Basketball Competition Camp was held last Friday.  It provided us to an opportunity to see some students that we taught a number of years ago in elementary school.  The students appeared to enjoy themselves, and Pastor Joshua shared at the end of the day.

Please pray that God will cause the seeds of truth planted to grow and produce spiritual hunger to know more.

Please pray for the discussion among our church ministry team at this week’s planning days.  Follow-up to the summer camps is one of the items we will likely discuss.

Focussed Prayer is Needed

Will you pray for these important happenings this week:

  • Wednesday and Thursday: We will meet with Pastor Joshua, Albert, and Elaine to discuss working together as a team.  Please pray that God will help us to set realistic, faith-filled  goals and expectations.  We have a diversity of gifts and experiences that we desire God to bring together so Christ is glorified as we work in unity.  We will also use our time together to plan the church events for the 2018-19 church year.
  • Thursday:  We have requested a representative to go to an office in Manila to request a needed document for a team member’s resident visa.  Please pray that the office will respond well and that the document can be obtained.
