Sweet day of ministry

So, today was a pretty sweet day of ministry.  There were a total of 9 of us who spent the day in a town called DaCun to prayer walk, meet people, and share the Gospel.  The first sweet thing that happened was with one of our Taiwanese friends, Hsu, who came to help translate for us.  When Hsu started the day, he was not yet a believer and just had many questions about Christianity, and never seemed ready to make a decision.  But early on in the day, he asked our team member, Jim what he needed to do to become a Christian, and Jim shared the prayer with him and he prayed right then while we were walking and became a brother in Christ.  Jim and Hsu soon after that, got to share with another man and his family and this guy also prayed to receive Christ.  It was an awesome way to start off the day.  Then we found an owner of a grape farm who taught us how he grew grapes and gave us samples, etc.  While the guys were off amongst the grapes, I had the opportunity to share the Evangecube with the man’s 2 daughters about age 12 and 14 who knew some English from school.  After that we all hung out with the family and tasted some of their wine, as well as riding their bike and playing soccer with them.  (I even gave one of the girls an English name, which I have discovered that I love doing here). 

The people of DaCun were extremely welcoming to us as a tea shop owner saw us coming and decided to give all of us free tea.  (Gosh, I wish that happened more often in Kaohsiung…:)  So, it is exciting to see God already working in the town of DaCun and opening doors for our team member, Tim, to start up a house church there.
