Dear A.C.T.S. Action Prayer Warriors,
By the grace of God, as an answer to your prayers, we were able to overcome the obstacle of not knowing any minority Christian leaders in Taiwan to making contact with well over 1,000 Aboriginal Christian Taiwanese an establishing solid contact with over 40 of their leaders.
Please praise God that He:
- Answered the Aboriginal Christian Taiwanese leaders prayers for "foreigners" with the same vision, calling and ministry to partner with them and enhance their position amongst the people.
- Carol. Fred and Colin Cotterill prayed fervently and fully with the Aboriginal Christian leaders of the 14 tribes in Taiwan.
- We were taken by a pastor and his team to provide basic training in using the "Jesus for Children" DVD and tracts as outreach tools.
- A.C.T.S. was able to provide outreach DVD's, Christian tracks, food, and household items to 4 mountain village churches while praying for their members, for some of which we were the first "foreigners" that they had seen.
- A.C.T.S. began relationships with 4 potential Volunteer Evangelists.
- We praise God for the administrative, prayer support and love from Vickey organizing our accommodations and transport.
- We praise God for Merriam who was our talented and helpful translator who flew in from Hong Kong to be with us...
- We praise God for our meeting with Pastor Guo who has special skills from God to grow and teach others how to grow and manage organic gardens for their use as well as to sell these valuable products. We thank God for this gentle man who prayed and went everywhere with us including to the bon voyage at the train station!!
- We praise God for the people who drove us from village to village, some times at a moment's notice when an additional vehicle was needed.
- We praise God for the sleeping arrangements on wooded elevated floors with two inch mattresses, some times 5 women to one room!!
Please join our prayers for God to encourage Aboriginal Taiwanese Christians to have a driving hunger to be "the bride of Christ": - Healings for the many people that were prayed for as the team visited 4 churches in one day!! - Encouragement for those early leaders who were present at the first revival 40 years ago, were misunderstood by the local people, persecuted, and still are alive in Christ today. We met two such women and were invited into one home as she retold her story. We had a big group meal together including a 20 pound eel caught our last day together and celebrating the joy of being together in ministry.
Please pray that God will:
- Provide Pastor Young and Aboriginal Hakka Christian businessman, AK Qai, the essential action prayer to continue the outreach ministry of income building western English conversation and the discipling providing outreach and discipling support to 9 public churches from Sonsirai Van Heerdon and Candice Swanson at the center of the 8 million Hakka worldwide population.
- Heal those suffering from cancer, Gloria, Susan and Jack. Goody Lovvoll from pain from neurological problems and Joel Havian from an upcoming surgery.
Please see our attached photo of Roger Husang, our newest Volunteer Evangelist in Xiamen, mainland China.
In Him,
Fred, Carol Schaeffer
