Children
It seems that there are more and more children in our lives recently. This is a good thing, right?
Wednesday afternoon, we were at the church (not pictured) to tell a Bible story and practice English. The final registration for the After-School Program is four students. One has tutorial class on Wednesday afternoons, so that meant we were with three students. The response is pretty good. We will need to think about whether we will continue to have both of us participate each week or adjust to only one of us.
Thursday mornings, we are at Fuhsing Elementary school. We received a warm welcome for our first classes of the new semester. The students were engaged as we told the creation story. We are both looking forward to continuing this teaching opportunity together.
Sunday mornings, we have a whole crowd of children who come from the community. Our worship service numbers are about half children. Kathy-Lu is one of the teachers who rotates teaching responsibility during the Sunday School class time. The students are full of energy and are gradually adjusting their expectations so that they participate more.
Working with children is one focus of our church ministry this Fall. Please pray that we will represent our Saviour well and that the students will desire to know Christ as their personal Lord.
Praise and Prayer
- Praise the Lord that a long-term friend came to Sunday worship and brought a friend with her. Please pray that God will use what they experienced to draw them into a relationship with Him.
- Please pray for wisdom as we develop relationships with some new friends. Please pray for opportunities to share with them about doing life with Christ.
- A number of friends have experienced significant losses in recent days. Please pray for them to experience healing and comfort.
