Even though our Fall season of Bilingual ALPHA ended at the end of November, it was truly just a time of beginning for many people. During the season we had 11 small groups that participated in the course. And, of those groups 9 (!!) are continuing to meet weekly as regular Truth Church small groups. My (Kelley's) group is one of those 9 groups. For the last 2 weeks on Friday night 4-5 girls have gathered together on the 6th floor of a building, in a teeny-tiny (very cold!) apartment, and we have small group. We sing, share, learn together about Jesus, and pray for one another. It has been such a blessing to watch these girls, who a couple of months ago had no idea who Jesus was, excitedly ask questions with childlike faith, sing praises to God, and pray sweet prayers to our Father. We are reading/studiyng a book entitled, "Begin Your New Life", and in February 2 of these girls are going to be baptized- Praise God! I thank God for the opportunity to help lead this group and be a part of His Kingdom work in Taiwan!

Tis the Season to be Jolly....

This past weekend was one of the busiest we've had in a long time. We were in charge of planning/hosting 3 different events- a Friday night ALPHA reunion/Christmas event, a Saturday afternoon baby dedication/adult membership transfer ceremony for our International Zone, and a Sunday night an Annual Girls' White Elephant Christmas Party held in our home. All the events were well attended with old and new friends alike, were full of laughter and good memories, and were a testimony in their own respective ways to God's work here in Taipei. Check out the pictures below for a glimpse into our weekend- Merry Christmas!
