More Answers to Prayer

  1. Thank-you for praying as we teach online each Thursday morning.  We are able to share a Bible story and briefly discuss it.  We use other age-appropriate English stories, games, and songs to help them learn English.  Please pray for fewer interruptions from the student’s homes as we teach.
  2. The ubiquitous mobile phones and computers are providing a way to stay in touch with people.  Our church, under Pastor Joshua’s leadership, will have online prayer meetings (photo above), Bible studies, etc.  It is one way to remain connected while living under restrictions.
  3. Heavy rain fell in some areas of Taiwan over the past week, and more is expected.  Water use restrictions have been relaxed in some central Taiwan cities.  More rain is needed for long-term drought relief.
  4. We have rented a basement suite in West Abbotsford.  We will live there during our home assignment.  Thank-you to those who prayed and to those who passed along referrals.

Praise and Prayer

  • A news report on Sunday morning said there will be an important announcement in a few days regarding whether the Level 3 Epidemic Prevention Protocols will be extended until June 28. Please pray for protection from sickness.
  • We have joined others in eagerly waiting to hear the announcement about adjustments to the Covid-19 restrictions in BC.  That will determine where we will do Covid-19 testing and quarantine after arriving in Canada.  Different options being used have varying costs.  Please pray for wisdom as these safety measures are decided.
