Thankfulness

We are thankful for our vacation and thankful to have returned to Taiwan.

Here’s what is happening:

  • The After-School Program (Homework Club) at the church has had some students leave and others join. Each day they read a Bible portion and talk about it.  Please pray that God’s Word will work in the students’ lives to produce faith in Christ.
  • Starting November 29, Lorne will meet with Meng-Ru for a lunchtime Bible study on Wednesdays.  They will be reading and discussing the Gospel of Luke.  Please pray that God will protect the timeslot from interruptions.
  • The Baozhong Alliance Church Christmas schedule includes a December 9 Magic Show and a December 23 Gingerbread Party.  There will be a Christmas Program on the evening of the 23rd. The congregation stayed and decorated the church building after the worship service yesterday.

Thank-you for praying for God to work and draw people to belief in Christ.

Praise and Prayer

  • We are thankful for opportunities to enjoy nature during our recent vacation.  God has created such a wonderful variety of plants and animals. There were also times of worship and opportunities to fellowship with other Christ-followers during our time away.
  • Taiwan feels a long distance away from Canada right now.  Please pray for some loved family members who are struggling with health-related challenges. We realize we could not change the situations by being there, but wish we were closer so that we could give people hugs.
  • Peter was a Bible School intern who worked with us in Baozhong more than ten years ago. We just learned that he finished his earthly journey and is now with His Saviour.  Please pray for God to comfort his family.
  • Please pray for divinely orchestrated opportunities to talk with people as we walk though our neighbourhood and the nearby areas of our town.
