Did You Know This about Taiwan?

So, you know Heart of Life does missions in Taiwan.  You may even know someone who has gone to Taiwan.  Maybe you yourself have even visited Taiwan.  But, how much do you really know about this little country??

To find out more about the country, the people, their religion, things that help share the Gospel there (referred to as "bridges"), and hindrances/barriers to sharing the Gospel, click the link below.

Pray for Pastor Daniel's Family and Those Traveling to the Funeral

As many of you may have heard on Sunday, Pastor Daniel's wife, Comfort, passed away.  Pastor Daniel is one our main national partners in Togo.  Please remember to be in prayer for Pastor Daniel and thier four children:  John Mark, Emmanuel, Sunday, and Blessing.

Dennis R. and Kevin G. will be traveling to Togo on Thursday in order to be there for Comfort's funeral. Please be in prayer for them as they travel there and then travel back to Missouri following the funeral.

Friday Morning in Taiwan

Update from Lary:


This is the wrap up day for both English camps - Bethel and Good News.  We have Scott and Andy back with us today.  Pray that all children will be able to comprehend the importance of Easter and what Jesus did for us at the cross, the significance of the empty tomb.  Easter is the bible story focus for today.  Pray that every child who has not made the most important decision in their life to accept Jesus will do so today.  Doug, Robin, and I were the only ones who did not go to the Defense last night.  We will go tonight.  Scott commented that from beginning to end the performance was smooth, it clicked as well as it could.  There are professional actors, I know the guy in the suicide scene Is a professional actor.  I think we are going to hit a night market tonight as well.  Pray that the power of the Holy Spirit will move in each child's heart, that they be set apart, that God would bless them indeed, that they would confess and repent of their sin, that God would enlarge their territory, that God would keep them from evil, so that they would not cause pain to God, themselves, or anyone else.  Pray that God will use each one to bear much fruit for the the remainder of their days on earth.

Togo Team is Finally Home

After many hours of delay, including a missed flight, and several more hours on stand-by, the Togo team finally all arrived home safe and sound late last night...except for those who took a side trip in Paris!  Praise The Lord!

Just a reminder, that the following are the people who went, so if you happen to see them on Sunday or before, you might want to ask them for some great stories of what God did during their time there!

Thank you so much for your prayers while the team was there!  All the stories you heard and have yet to hear would not have been possible without you standing in the gap and interceding for them and the hearts of the Togolese people.

The Energizer Bunnies Just Keep Going in Taiwan

What a great week we have had so far! Pam and Don have almost 90 kids each day.  24 of them under 5 years of age.  The other team spent two days building the Judgement House for the rest of the week.  Wednesday we started the Good News Church VBS English camp.  The first day we had 38 children.  Very hot outside.  Spent most of the day inside then outside for football and kickball.  Lots of great worship.  God is still protecting us and our families.  Thanks!
