Chiayi Alliance

The Canadian C&MA International Worker Team has started another church work southeast of Baozhong.  It is the Chiayi Alliance Church.

We went and worshipped with them, May 7.  It is their first Sunday in their newly rented facility.  Renovations are mostly done, but still need some finishing touches that will happen over the next week or two.

Lorne preached, Rev. Henry Chuang officiated at Communion, Rev. Wendy Hsieh led worship, and the intern pastor Ms. Hu read Scripture and played piano.  A small group discussion followed the service.

Praise God with us for the new meeting location for the church.  Please pray that God will guide the international workers assigned to the work and their Taiwan partners as they join what God is doing to see the church established.

Praise and Prayer

• Next Sunday is Mothers’ Day.  Please pray for churches like ours as we invite friends to join our worship service as part of this year’s efforts to honour mothers.
• Praise the Lord that renovations on the rented facility in Chiayi were sufficient to permit a first service at the new location.  Please pray that God will add people to the church family.
• We will have meetings with three of our Canadian C&MA international worker couples this week.  Our desire is to be an encouragement to them.  It is a chance to check how they are doing and discuss the work being done.
• Please pray for a Women’s Tea that Kathy-Lu is possibly holding on Saturday afternoon.  Invitations and plans for this potential event are happening, but she is not sure whether people will have time to attend on Mothers’ Day weekend.
