Pastor Chao and his wife

2 Thursdays ago, one of the leaders of EFC (Evangelical Formosan Church) visited the elderly home to share their testimony.

Grandmas, church and elderly home workers listen while the pastor's wife shares her story.

Thursday afternoon is usually a time of sharing God's word to the workers. This day was a special one. Grandmas were wheeled out to meet and listen. Grandpas remained in their room. The sound system was used so that the bedridden and those who preferred to remain in their room can also listen in.

L-R: Grandma Yui Ye is 96 years old and the only one who can stand and walk (few teeny-tiny steps). Grandma Cha Mei invited me to sit by her bedside on my first visit. I can comprehend her Taiwanese and Mandarin best. Grandma Su Lan is the only one who can wheel her own wheelchair so she's the only one who can move freely around the area. Grandma Lin Siu is mostly quiet and observant. Grandma Ah Si would always express a happy countenance when interacting with her.

L-R: Head Nurse, cook and caregiver Siu Lin, Nurse Su Chin, Grandpa Shi Yui and Su Lan, (father and daughter), Director Gao, Grandma Ah Si.

After sharing, the question on who wants to accept Christ Jesus to be their Lord was asked. Head Nurse, Grandma Su Lan, and Grandma Ah Si raised up their hands. It was a joyous occassion! We all celebrated their new birth in Christ with a mouth-watering cake.

(Grandpa Shi Yui is 100 years old and (Grandma) Su Lan is 80. Grandpa accepted Christ some time ago, also during a time of sharing in this elderly home. Nurse Su Chin usually leads the Thursday sharing time. Like Director Gao, she also goes to the same church I serve.)

Please pray for God's grace and mercy to be upon the workers and inhabitants of the elderly home; that the rest of the grandpas, grandmas, and workers may also believe and accept Christ's gift of salvation before it is too late.

Pray that God may bring brothers/sisters to regularly follow-up/encourage the new believers; that their faith in Christ grow more and more.
