Posted 15st July 2009
Hi, we are a family of four, living in Liverpool. I am David, my wife is Sook and we have two boys Matthew and James.
I work for Liverpool Chinese Gospel Church and am responsible for the English and Mandarin ministries. Daniel Deng, who is also full time at LCGC, assists me in building up the Mandarin Congregation. There are also two full-time co-workers, who concentrate on the Cantonese ministry, Jonathan Wan and Judy Cheung.
Matthew and James are both studying at University, one in Newcastle and one in Birmingham, Aston.
James is on jury duty this month, Matthew is doing voluntary work with OMF International in Taiwan. After orientation his team is involved with two projects. The first is in an English camp in a village/town near Tainan down south. This is run by a local Church and some Taiwanese university students, they’ll be doing most of the teaching and we’ll be helping with games and giving the kids an opportunity to speak English with “real” English people! But hopefully we’ll be able to share a bit about why we’re in Taiwan and about Jesus.
The other project Matthew and the team are helping with is a youth centre in Chiayi. This is somewhere for young people to come and chill and get away from the stresses of school and the tonnes of homework they get. They'll be just hanging out with them, playing games, maybe some karaoke and stuff like that; sharing their lives with them and also hopefully their faith too! They'll also be involved in visitation and various evangelistic outreaches using sketches, songs, and maybe other things (have taken a lot of balloons for making balloon animals!). Also this is one of the cities where OMF International is concentrating on reaching out to the working class Taiwanese, very few of whom have heard the gospel so it’ll be interesting to see the ways that the Gospel is going out to these people who’ve never heard it before and what missionary life is really like!
Please Pray for …
• The team coping without understand everything that’s happening.
• The kids at English camp will remember the stories about God and carry the truths with them into their future lives.
• The church in Fen Yuan, it is a hard place to reach out too and although it is a beautiful place it has many problems: drugs, alcohol, gangs and a school with a reputation for poor students.
• For them all to continue working as a team.
• That they would get the rest they need and not wear themselves out.
• Thank God that the English camp has run well and that they’ve had quite a favourable response from the school which has allowed them to use it's facilities.
