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.
