We split up this morning for our two different churches at 8:30 a.m. with one group going to the Beituen church and the other going to the GanEn church. The group at Beituen church just joined their services and were treated to lunch at McDonalds afterwards. (Corey, Travis, Larry, Holly, Bethany & Nathan). We will be leading several events at their church this week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. At GanEn church Landon & Daniel led the church in three worship songs which were translated into Chinese and then I preached a sermon from Matthew 22 which was translated by our new friend Angela. After the worship service, we joined their young people for Sunday School and split up into three groups for some group discussion in Deuteronomy. Then they fixed us a homeade lunch of rice dumplings. (Some would say the best we've had)
After lunch, we came back to WanDe to change clothes and left for the afternoon festival. The festival we were going to was hosted by several Christian organizations that help the homeless in Taichung along with the city council. We were there to be ambassadors of goodwill. We played tug of war against the city workers - and won - twice. Then we got to sing for them and have a great dinner with them also.
After dinner, we went back to WanDe for our outreach event that we invited people to all week. We had a good group of students from the PE college come and right as we started, Bama, Blake, Jeff, Sherrill, Andrew & Hilary arrived from Kaoshoing. We had a great fellowship and once again our students jumped to the challenge of engaging these students and developing their friendships. At the end, a large group of them went to starbucks togethers.
Tomorow we have a softball game at 10a.m.
