Ordination

Pastor Joshua Lee will be officially ordained at a service on Saturday afternoon, March 16.

This is a moment of recognition by the denomination that God has both called him to  pastoral ministry and that God is enabling him to do the ministry. It is an expression of affirmation by the church that they accept him as a leader appointed by God to serve in the pastoral role.

Please pray for God’s blessing on him, his family, and the church.

About 60 people are expected to attend the service, including many Alliance pastors from around Taiwan. Even his family are coming to witness this event. Pastor Joshua will host the guests for a special feast after the service.

Because our facility has limitations, some people will participate by watching the service on a television monitor on the second floor.

The service will be at 3 PM Taiwan time (12 midnight on Mar 15, Pacific Daylight Time). The service will be broadcast on the church’s YouTube channel and will remain posted there for delayed viewing. (It is broadcast only in Chinese.) Lord willing, there will not be technical difficulties that day.

Praise and Prayer

  • Please pray asking God to direct Pastor Joshua to a qualified teacher to teach the adult interest classes.
  • We are thankful for conversations with those who are not yet fully-committed Christ-followers. When they happen by texting, it takes much longer than it would if it was face-to face. Typing in our adopted language takes greater effort and more time than if we are writing in English. Please pray for God to help us to select the best words to communicate His love and truths.
  • Please pray for victory over spiritual attacks. Some people tell us they feel uncomfortable or sick during worship times and during Bible teaching times. Please pray for Christ to protect and deliver them.
