2021 Update #27 July 5

Thank-you!

We are grateful for the many people who are donating towards our support costs, toward the ministry, and to specific projects.  Your involvement makes it possible for us to continue sharing Jesus with the people of Taiwan.

Global Ministries is making some major adjustments to both our compensation package and to the way in which donors can participate in supporting global ministry.

Effective July 1, our salary package has been adjusted so that we will receive additional monthly compensation.  Our contributions toward retirement are also being increased.  These changes will align our compensation with Canadian law.  We won’t bore you in this letter with other details, but just want to thank you for your generosity that is allowing this to happen.

The above graphic explains that structure for supporting global missions in our church organization is being adjusted, also effective July 1.  Things are now being combined under three categories, simplifying the donor’s need to designate funds.  Each of the three funds listed above will have an annual budget to allocate resources to the areas most needed.  The descriptions will permit you to find the aspect of the ministry that you desire to support.  This will help you to know what the new donation categories are.

As with any change, there will be a phase in period.  Likely there are additional questions that need to be answered.  Please know that we are available and willing to help you obtain answers.

But, the most important thing we want to communicate today is our appreciation for your generous and sacrificial support for us and global initiatives.  May God’s blessings be upon you!

Praise and Prayer

We are travelling and entering quarantine.  Thanks for remembering to pray for:

  1. Technology to cooperate as we work with multiple agencies that monitor Covid testing and quarantine.
  2. Rest and refreshment as we slow down during our quarantine.  God has a purpose for scheduling this time in our lives.
  3. For wisdom for those who are shouldering additional responsibilities because we are not in Taiwan.  God’s empowerment and grace is sufficient for all circumstances.
