Doing Life Together

We are doing life together with the team in the photo.  Each day we have times of worship and some time in the Word.  We pray for each other and for the churches we are associated with.  Prayers are also being offered for those who do not yet know Christ.

Today we spent time hearing about what God is doing as He leads toward the starting of a new Alliance church.  Through prayer, partnerships, research, and more prayer, a plan is slowly being developed to start a work in Chiayi County.  God the Holy Spirit is at work so that more people can hear the gospel.  Christ has uniquely gifted Albert and Elaine Lu to be a part of what is happening in this new initiative.  Many decisions (selecting a neighbourhood, outreach focus, etc.) will be happening as additional planning steps are taken.

This short-term missions team will be with us until Wednesday, March 27, when they will depart for their home in Canada.

Praise and Prayer

  • Praise the Lord that Warren’s condition has improved sufficiently that he has been transferred from ICU to a regular hospital room.  Please pray that God will work leading him toward faith in Christ as he recovers in the hospital.
  • Taiwanese people have already begun the annual task of tending the graves of departed family members.  The official Tomb Sweeping Day is on April 5.  Many Christians will face pressure to participate in ancestor worship, and endure outbursts of anger when they refuse.  Please pray for understanding conversations that honour God as Christ-followers talk about such matters with their relatives.
