Taiwan Mission Team

Hi guys, as you know, 47 of our brothers and sisters are in Taiwan now to share the meaning of Christmas with the Taiwanese students. Last Sunday, they helped to celebrate the first anniversary of Gracepoint Fellowship Church - Hsinchu! Here's an update about it from Steve and Eunice of a2f blue, who are leading the team:

Ni Hao Ma!
Yesterday we celebrated the 1st Anniversary of our GFC-Hsinchu church. Eugene gave a message on Jesus feeding the 5000, and through Kan's and Cynthia's testimonies we were able to marvel at how God had multiplied the "5 loaves and 2 fish" that our Hsinchu team had offered to God along with the rest of our church. We all had a chance to remember how our church had come a long way from all the funny and not so funny attempts at reaching out to people, including having the first bible study at Mr. Donut and out of tune electric guitar solos during praise. Attached is a picture of our Hsinchu Church. We were thankful that many of the students came to the anniversary service. We had the very first 'invitation time' at our Hsinchu church and several of our brothers and sisters rededicated...Later that night our WMT got together with the Hsinchu team to have some time for team bonding and for people to get to know each other. We ended the time thinking about our various connections with one another, even though we're from different ministries within our church. Kevin Tan (Kairos jr) shared how meeting Eugene and Cynthia during Cal Day helped him decide to come to Cal, Greg Davis shared how he was thankful that Eugene, who was so Taiwanese, reached out to a Caucasian guy like him and led him to Christ. We were reminded of the close community we share at our church and what we want to invite the Taiwanese students to experience as well.
