They Came to Encourage
The Deep Grace Alliance Church (ShenKeng District of New Taipei City) has partnered with us for many years. In the past they have sent workers to help with Saturday children and youth ministries. Last Friday, about half of their church members made the trip down to visit us. For some this was a return visit, others it was their first time to see Baozhong.
It was an encouraging time of fellowship. The two photos on the top right show that we made good use of our expanded facility as we hosted them. Our hope is that the churches can have further opportunities to fellowship and that they can support each other in evangelistic endeavors.
New Life! Growing Faith
May (last week we referred to her as “Beautiful-Jade) gave her testimony and was baptized. The other two photos were taken on her baptism Sunday. It is exciting to see God answering her simple prayers of faith. We are praying that her husband will be willing to hear more about Christ as he sees her changed life.
Prayer Items
- Please pray for Pastor Joshua’s father who was injured in a car accident last week. Pray for Pastor Joshua as he spends a couple days with family to help.
- Please pray for planning for the Dec. 8 Christmas Tree Decorating Parent-Child Event. Pray that we will be able to present the Bible story and truth about Christ in a clear way. Pray that people will want to hear more and attend other Christmas events and church services.
- Praise the Lord that the elections were held throughout Taiwan without major problems. The referendums (that are legally binding) resulted in choices that align with Biblical values and will benefit society. Please pray that the recently elected 22 mayors and more than 200 township magistrates will govern with wisdom and righteousness. Pray that the thousands elected as council members across Taiwan will do their jobs honestly and in a fair, equitable manner.
- The Sunday School children are practicing a short play that they will do at the Nursing Home on December 15 and at the Christmas Outreach on December 23. Please pray that the modern version of the prodigal son will touch their lives and the lives of those who watch them.
