Last Tuesday, a brother from Tanzi Church invited us for lunch there.
L-R: Carol's husband, Zak (Fengyuan Church co-worker), Janice, Siomie (SEND missionary to Fengyuan Church), Wilma (SEND missionary to Tanzi Church), Joy & Victor (SEND missionary and Pastor of Tanzi Church), Harry (the brother from Tanzi who also attends Fengyuan's Young Pro fellowship), Carol (led Naomi to Christ and who introduced Harry & Naomi together), Naomi (Harry's gf and daughter of the owner of the restaurant)
It was a great time of getting to know and catching up with one another. After that, we went to a farm rented out by Carol's church. It used to be a business where the young and old can do crafts and enjoy nature. When it ran out of business, the church rented it for its congregation's use.
Their coffee shop where people can relax or do crafts. The church's pastor and wife take care of the place.
It is a huge farm. The background is part of it.
They welcome their congregation or even people from other churches to raise their own plants or livestock. No need to play Farmville on Facebook when you have a real farm where you can raise your own.

PRAYER REQUESTS:
* That I may be sensitive to and grab every opportunity to pray with the elderly at the elderly home I visit; boldness to share God's word.
(While my actions show that I care, there are many times when I fail to realize or did not seize the opportunity to share the gospel, encourage them with God's truth, or pray with them, out of fear or embarrassment.
Love w/o truth = hypocrisy. Truth w/o love = brutality)
* That the elderly and I will somehow be able to understand each other more when conversing with one another. Their Taiwanese-Chinese and my Hokkien-Chinese have more differences than I thought.
(It is not simply the accent but many words are completely different as well.)
* That the Holy Spirit work in them and that they finally believe and receive God's gift of salvation before it is too late.
(Every morning, the owner would share God's word to the elderly. May the time of harvest finally come.)
