November 2008
We praise the Lord for allowing
Lighthouse Baptist Church to celebrate ten years of ministry in
Taichung city. We have included a few pictures and letters sharing
some of the blessings that God has given to us and hope that you are
as encouraged by them as we are.
I remember the time our family passed by the church. That was
the first I saw them – walking alone. There was a lot of
enthusiasm in their eyes. I was seven years old in elementary
school, so I was a little shy to talk to strange foreigners. As
time passed, I grow stronger day after day.
Starting to think why
Jesus exists for us - to save everyone from doing mistakes; so I
trusted in Jesus in grade 5. There are lots of chance proving
myself, showing myself to let more people know Jesus. I gain
lots of confidence there. There are lots of games, learning, and
activities in summer vacation I have participated in and that
makes me feel we are just like a family. Time flies so fast. It
has been ten years since the church was established. Instead of
going back to America, the couple still stay in Taiwan
accomplish their dream to let us know how Jesus loves us.
Although I am in senior high school I still come here twice a
week contacting with Jesus. There are lots of benefits in going
to the church, such as learning English, making friends, not
feeling lonely, and the biggest benefit believing in Jesus.
Thank Pastor Simpson and
his wife for taking care of me. - Jo Jing-yiow “Jason”
In the
blink of an eye it’s been 10 years. I remember the first time I
came to church I was a silly kid in elementary school. I am so
thankful for those who accepted my brother and myself and lit a
spark in our lives. At first, I didn’t understand the truth
about God, but after I while I began to understand. Even though
I still had questions, I decided one thing… God is the real God.
The church is my second home.
Pastor and Mrs. Simpson are like our parents. I am so thankful
that the Lord has given me so much in my life and that I have
made many friends at church… most importantly, that I met the
Friend that will never leave me – Jesus.
Lighthouse Baptist Church
will have to move. Regarding this I am reluctant to leave, I
have many memories, but I also have many expectations. I hope
after we move, everyone will continue to come to church and sing
hymns and learn from God’s Word. I thank the Lord that I have
all these things to help me commemorate the anniversary –
really!!! - Huang Hsien-yin “Hannah”
Please continue praying that the Lord
will provide a suitable building for Lighthouse. It has been
extremely hard to find anything in a good location that is
affordable as prices have sky-rocketed. We also ask you to continue
praying for Dali Faith Baptist Church as we continue to face many
attacks and struggles especially in the Chinese ministry.
The Lord is faithful and we continue to trust His
provision. Thank you for being a great support and encouragement to
our ministry.
For
souls,

Andy
& Lisa Simpson
