God’s Work

We gathered for worship as usual, but with a special reason to praise and give thanks to God.  We were celebrating 5 years of Sunday services. (The first service was on October 4, 2015.)

Individuals were given the opportunity to share.  We heard unique stories of how God works in people’s lives, providing love, grace, mercy, peace, and hope.  It was an encouraging time.

There were only a few pieces of the cake left over.  In Taiwanese culture, having leftovers is a reminder that there is provision for the future.  We believe that!  God is still at work, building his church in Baozhong.

Praise and Prayer

• This will be a busy week: month-end finance reporting, prayer meeting, teaching in schools, preparing for next Sunday’s ministry, connecting with friends, etc.  Please pray for God’s strength to accomplish it all.
• Praise the Lord for moments of laughter and learning together in the English classroom.  God is helping us find teaching resources to use and keep the classes interesting for the students.
• Please pray for the planning of  the Christmas Outreach activities.  Taipei Alliance Church will send members on three consecutive weekends to teach ukulele classes, concluding with a special program for the community.  Follow-up ukulele classes will be held at the church to continue the relationship with those that participate in the pre-Christmas activities.
