Pray for HOC3 at Chiayi Too! 請為在嘉義短宣的第三家禱告


Dear All,

We are sorry that it is so late that we are posting our first, and
perhaps last, update about our missions trip here in Chiayi.





I (M) was perhaps too ambitious to set up a google group without having
ever done so. But thank you nonetheless for remembering us in your prayers.


God has been gracious to us and has brought us through Tues to Sat
night, and our missions trip will end tomorrow as we lead the Taibao

church in Sunday morning worship.


We had a few scattered ailments (Bessie's arm, Shihya's sore throat) among
us over the days, but nothing major, and all better by now.



Praise the Lord. We had some concerns that our planned programs might not "go as planned," i.e. timing too loose, run out of things to say, etc.,
but God graciously smiled on our plans and incorporated them into his.

Only one unexpected event-- a power outage during the second day of VBS--
ended up OK, so that we were able to conclude the day's activities outdoors.



Today (sat) we spent an afternoon and evening with youth from Taibao
and 2 other neighboring churches. We were not sure how our "discussion
groups" would go, but they went smoothly, and were able to get to make
a little more connection with individuals.
Prayer requests-- that the VBS families that we visited on Friday
would be led to attend church tomorrow. James will give the message
tomorrow, Shihya will share her testimony.
May the Lord
establish the
works we wish to offer.

Thanks for reading and supporting.

Checking out the Fruits and Veggies 台灣的水果與蔬菜




The Reflection from Mrs. Lai 台灣短宣感言-黎師母


台灣臨行之前﹐倉促間忘了帶記事本﹐裡面記載我去年接觸的一些學生資訊。

在北埔國中短宣的最後一天﹐我幾乎已放棄希望尋找的男孩﹐竟然出現在臺上為我
們吹奏口琴。男孩下臺後﹐我跑過去找他。他還記得我們去年埋葬鳥兒的事呢﹗我
終於實現我的諾言﹐送給這心地善良的男孩我答應的書籍﹔“四個屬靈的定律”。

感謝神﹗他是信實的。他知道我的信心微小。可是﹐他豐盛的賜予卻遠大於我所該得的。讚美主﹗


Before I left for Taiwan, I had a prayer that I may be able to meet some
students who I knew from last year. To my regret, I forgot to bring the
handbook which has all the information I need with me. On the first two
days while we were in Beipu, I tried to look through the faces across
me.

Surprisingly, I did recognize several students and said hi to them,
but the one I particularly looking for was lost in the woods. On the third
day morning, when I almost gave up the hope, God amazingly granted me a
precious gift. A boy was announced to perform a solo harmonica, and HE
was exactly the one I hoped to see.

Why is he so special? Last year when
we first met, his kind heart of asking me to bury a dead bird with him
really touched me. I also shared 4 spiritual laws with him. I promised
to mail a copy of English/Chinese copy of the 4 spiritual
laws to him, but
I didn't fulfill the promise until this trip. When he came down from the
stage, I ran over to
him and asked if he remembered me. He responded with a sweetest childlike
smile and said "dead bird".... I was about to cry. I handed a copy of the
4 spiritual laws to him. We hugged and shared a couple words before he had
to leave for his class.....

Thanks the Lord; He knows how little faith I have. He rewarded me with something
I didn't deserve. Praise His Name.
