Giving Thanks

On our Canadian Thanksgiving Monday, we want to give thanks for:

  • God:  He is our Rock.  He is Sovereign.  He has brought us into relationship with Him. He speaks to us.
  • YOU!  We are thankful for people who encourage, pray, give financially, and engage in person in other ways.
  • Kids:  We are proud of how our children are trusting God and for how they are navigating these turbulent times.
  • Coworkers:  Thankful for both Taiwanese and international workers who share a common burden and are willing to work together.
  • Taiwan:  It’s success in the battle against COVID has permitted us  to continue ministering in person to many people.
  • Thanksgiving decorations:  We get to see Fall colors inside, even when the leaves on trees around us do not change colour.
  • Glimpses of God at work.
    • Charlie was transferred from ICU to a regular ward, and may be released from hospital this week.
    • CaiFu is studying the new believer’s class in preparation for baptism
    • Opportunity to tell Bible stories in the local elementary schools.
  • So much more!

What things are on your list?  We welcome you to write and let us know.

Praise and Prayer

  • Please praise the Lord for Charlie’s improvement in health. Let’s continue to pray for his spiritual and emotional healing.
  • Praise the Lord for the opportunity to attend the October 6-8 Prayer Retreat.  We met, shared, listened to Bible teaching, and prayed together.  We focussed on praying for God to create breakthroughs in Taiwan ministries and in people’s lives.
  • Please pray for God to be honoured, Christ to be exalted, and the Holy Spirit to lead at the Taiwan C&MA Business Meeting on Saturday, October 17.
