Field Forum Report

Field Forum created many memories:

  • The church did have air conditioning–so Lorne learned that he had believed someone’s joke prior to attending the Field Forum.
  • The speaker, James Chung, shared about “The Gospel Changes Everything.”
  • The Taitung Alliance Church joined us for supper and worship on Wednesday evening. (photo) Young people from the church led the worship.
  • Our international worker team is multi-ethnic. People shared about their families of origin and how the gospel has transformed their personal cultural views to become Christ-centered.
  • We enjoyed the foods, the sights, and the experiences we had in Taitung.
  • A few international workers who attended are recovering from the Covid virus that also attended. So far, Kathy-Lu and Lorne are symptom-free and hoping to stay that way.
  • One couple travelled by train. They returned home safely. A later train was trapped in a tunnel by a rock slide. We praise God for protecting our coworkers. We have also pray for those who faced the trauma of being trapped in the tunnel.

Thank-you for praying for us all!

Praise and Prayer

  • Preparation is the focus for this week. Supplies will be purchased, English lessons tweaked, and guest rooms cleaned. The teaching team will arrive on Sunday, and camp starts Monday, July 1. Please pray for God to help us with the many remaining tasks.
  • Three students who attend our church have graduated from elementary school and will be going to orientation sessions at the junior high schools (middle schools). Please pray for them as they transition to their new learning environments. Pray that they will continue to be open to coming to church events. Our desire is to see them go deeper in a relationship with Christ.
  • The mother of a church member is in hospital. Please pray for the family.
