Thanksgiving
October is Canadian Thanksgiving month. So let us start the month with thanksgiving for progress made in obtaining the document for Lieu’s visa application. We are thankful for our “friend” in the Philippines who when to 6 different offices to help us obtain what was needed. She is supposed to receive the elusive document on Wednesday this week and it should make it to Taiwan a few days after that. We plan to submit Lieu’s visa application on October 9 at the office in Taichung.
Thanks for praying and thank-you for continuing to pray as we enter what appears to be the “home stretch” in the process. Bible Reading Plan
The schedule for the final three months of Bible reading was posted today. One of our church members said that when the challenge was given to read the whole Bible in just two years, he had doubts that it could be done. Now he is excited to be nearing the end of the challenge and has a sense of accomplishment.
As we move into the final stretch, we are thankful there are a number of people who have faithfully participated and recorded their progress on a social media app. More Prayer Updates and Requests
- An Outdoor Service is planned for next Sunday. Please pray for good weather and for many visitors to attend.
- The last typhoon turned and went to Japan. We feel sorry for them. Now the question is what will Typhoon Kong-Rey do? Will it come to Taiwan or go elsewhere? We are thankful that God knows how to keep us all safe, and how to bring healing when that is needed.
- We will meet with the Baozhong area pastors on Wednesday to pray together. We will also be planning a joint Christmas outreach event scheduled for December 23.
- We are planning a CAD$3,500 (TWD$80K) renovation upgrade on our Sunday meeting area. It will allow for more seating. We need wisdom as we work with contractors on the plans. We are asking God for two or three more families to join the church over the next year and will need the extra room. Would you like to pray about this with us?
