Thanksgiving
October is Canadian Thanksgiving month. Continuing in our expressions of thanks, we want to praise God that the needed document for Lieu’s visa application was finally received, and it is in transit on its way to Taiwan. We are thankful that this bottleneck in the process has been removed. We will be thankfully making application for her visa after the document arrives in Taiwan. (Thank-you God! And thanks to all those who have been praying!)
Outdoor Service
We were very pleased with the outcome of the service in the park. We arrived to find that the park was full of people and other events were being held. That meant that we had to select a different location than the one originally planned, but it worked well. We even had trees to provide protection from the intense sunlight. The weather was great. We had 18 adults and 9 children attend. Playing and eating together provided opportunities to deepen relationships. We were particularly pleased that our neighbour joined us.
More Prayer Updates and Requests
- The annual Denominational Fall Business Meeting will be held on Saturday Oct. 20. In addition to approving budgets for the Taiwan C&MA for next year, other reports and business will be discussed. Please pray that God’s Spirit will lead church delegates to a unity of vision and strategies so that a strong testimony for Christ is maintained.
- We are planning a $80K (CAD$3,500) renovation upgrade on our Sunday meeting area. It will allow for more seating. Please pray for 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. Would you like to pray about this with us?
- A Baptismal service is being planned for October 21.
