Answers to Prayers

Over the past number of years we have asked that you pray 10:02 prayers.  Based on Luke 10:2, we asked you to join us in praying that “the Lord who is in charge of the harvest…send more workers into his fields.”

On Sunday, June 9 we witnessed one way that God is answering that prayer.  It was the Taiwan Alliance Theological College graduation.  Three of this year’s five graduates will be pastors in Alliance churches.

• Wen-Yuan Ho (left) will be installed as the pastor of Agape Alliance Church on July 7.  This church was planted by international workers Thu and Hanh Nguyen and is ministering to Vietnamese living in Taiwan.
• Zhi-Shu Chian (center) will be joining US international workers in planting the Sihhu Alliance Church.  It is about a 20 minute drive west of us, and is a work focussed on reaching the Taiwan Working Class.
• Wen-Jun Lee (right) has been the intern pastor of the Amazing Grace Alliance Church while completing his last year of studies.  He will formally become the pastor of that church (located about a 10 minute drive south of us) and will receive assistance from a US international worker who is returning from home assignment.   They will work together to continue establishing the church.

God is answering prayer!  He has called these young men to work in His church, helping people discover abundant life in Christ.  Thank-you for praying!

Please continue to pray 10:02 prayers!

Warren’s baptism is scheduled for next Sunday!  Lord willing, he will declare his faith in Christ by being baptized in the morning service on June 16.  Please pray for God to help him to continue to grow in his faith.
