As Often…

This past weekend, we shared during the service and ate Holy Communion with the church family in Langley BC.  That was the church that prayerfully commissioned us when we first went to Taiwan in 1990.

As often as we partake in the sacrament by eating the bread and drinking the cup, we remember Jesus death; It is the thing that Christ-followers do together regardless of where in the world one lives.  While on Home Assignment we have the privilege of doing this in different local churches with different believers.  Each time we proclaim our unity in Christ.  As often as we do it, we together proclaim Jesus’s death and resurrection.

It is not just the cause of giving people access to Jesus so that they can choose to become disciples that unites us.  It is our Saviour and His sacrificial death that truly unites us.

Praise and Prayer

• Praise the Lord for the unity of soul and mind at the Annual Meeting of the C&MA in Taiwan on Oct. 16
• Praise the Lord for the teaching and interaction with classmates at the course Lorne attended last week.  May God help him to use some of the skills to serve God in additional ways.
• While on home assignment, we try to schedule medical check-ups and even some treatment.  Pandemic protocols are creating longer than usual wait times for many procedures.  Please pray that things can be accomplished and for peace from God for things that cannot be done this time.
