2021 Update #24 June 14

Puzzled

Last Thursday we were late starting English class because Lorne’s computer would not connect to the online classroom where the students were waiting.  We tried a number of possible solutions, but we were puzzled about how to solve the problem.  After the moderator sent a new sign-on identity, it was possible to accomplish the goal of teaching class.  We needed help to solve the problem.

Right now, we are puzzling about another challenge.  We have a desire to to schedule in-person or online meetings with individuals, small groups, and churches.  We want to do it safely by adhering to the local pandemic-related protocols.

Possible times are August through the first part of June of next year.  But let’s start with late summer and the Fall.

Please join us in putting the pieces together.

This is how you can help!

  1. You can ask your local leader if there is a time when we can connect with your family, your fellowship, your church:
    • Invite us to participate in an event.
    • Plan an open forum or a prayer time .
    • Provide an opportunity to share or preach.
    • Choose another indoor or outdoor venue to do something together.
  2. Look at your calendar to find a time when you would like to chat or “meet” with us.

Scheduling is complicated in an almost-over-Covid, early-post-Covid, but seemingly-never-ending-Covid world.

With your help it can  be accomplished!

Praise and Prayer

  • Taiwan’s emergency protocols are very strict.  No one is permitted to go into places of worship except the leader and his immediate family.  Please pray for pastors and wives, including Pastor Joshua and Ilaine, as they face the challenge of leading a whole service without help from others.
  • We are collecting gently used furnishings for our Abbotsford home.  We are thankful for those who are helping us find things that will fit well in the unit.  If you have a suggestion for a donation or a purchase, please send us a note.
