Merry Christmas
We want to thank you for your partnership with us throughout 2024.
- As you joined us in praying, we have seen evidence of God at work in our own lives and in the lives of those around us. May God do more than we have asked, more than we have dreamed, more than we can imagine as we reach the finishing line of this year and race into the next.
- Thank-you for your generosity in financially supporting us and the Taiwan ministry. Your financial gifts are helping people hear about Jesus. That is the first step toward belief in the Creator God Who loves and cares about them.
Christmas Day is not a public holiday here in Taiwan, so most of the church celebrations across Taiwan are happening on the weekend prior to Christmas Day. This week’s photo is the poster advertising the Saturday (Dec 21) evening Christmas event at Baozhong Alliance Church.
Please pray that the story of God reconciling humanity to Himself through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ would not get lost in the feasting and commercialization.
Our Prayer is that some people will choose to put their faith in Christ this Christmas.
Last Minute Shopping?
If you are still looking to purchase a gift, we’d like to suggest the The Alliance Canada Christmas gift catalog. You will find a variety of ideas for those people on your list who claim they don’t want anything! Perhaps they will be honored by a donation to a life-changing ministry overseas!
Praise and Prayer
- Please pray that the families of children involved in the after-school program will come and celebrate Christmas with us at the church. May the truths they hear about Jesus lead them toward belief in Christ.
- Please continue to pray for the registration for the Jan 21-24 Deep Sea Camp. Pray for the logistical details of the short-term team travel to and from Taiwan. Pray that God will help as we arrange the other aspects of the camp experience.
- Pray for us and our families as we experience another Christmas apart from each other. We miss being together. Please pray that God’s presence and the joy of the gospel will comfort us in the “what we might have done together” moments.
