Come and Gone, Not Forgotten

The short-term team has departed for home and other places.  But there were memorable moments throughout the week.  Even Kathy-Lu and Lorne learned some things they did not know previously.

• We all learned about the Operation Dawn.  Both the Dawn Rehabilitation Program to help addicts and the Dawn Spiritual Training Center for equipping workers have influenced Pastor Joshua’s life.  He volunteers each week in the program, helping others who struggle in the rehabilitation process.
• The nearby C&MA church plants were visited and the pastors shared.  We prayed at each location.  One church was facing uncertainty about how long they could keep meeting in their current location.  That was one of the requests we prayed about.  Yesterday we received word that the owner is donating the building to the church.  God answers prayer!
• We visited the homes of a couple of people, listened to their stories, shared, and prayed together.
• There were meals together.  They were able to pray with some of the owners and servers at the locations where food was purchased.

Our thoughts are full of these and many other memories.  The times of praying together are something we cherish.  It is something we wish we could do more often.  Our recollection is that each time people come and pray with us here in Taiwan, shortly after we see breakthroughs in one area or another.  Prayer is the work!

Praise and Prayer

• Please pray for travelling safety for the team.
• Please pray for preparations for the Infusion Training sessions.  On Wednesday (Feb 12) we will have a video call with a regional leader to debrief two types of assessments.  Those assessments and the ensuing explanations will help us better understand how we relate to the Body of Christ and the strengths we bring to team working relationships.
• Please pray for God’s protection over international workers in our region, especially those who live close to the location where the Novel Coronavirus epidemic originated.
