Page runs in 8K race

Page, along with her good friend, Heather, ran in an 8k race today -- this is around 5 miles. They had trained for this event for close to two months. The first question Levi asked her after the race was, "What place did you finish?" Page ran her 8k in 57 minutes and finished in 238th place. This is out of over 500 people. Not too bad for the first one. Now Page has running fever and is looking to running in a 21k next. Below are some more pictures of the race.





Page is among the many people at the start line.

Page and Heather just about to cross the finish line!!!

Light for Taichung Moment!!

Next Saturday (4/4) is Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as "Ancestor Worship Day". Families have special ancestral worship ceremonies at home altars and at cemeteries. It is a time of great pressure and challenge for Christians in traditional/Buddhist families. Please pray for Christians, especially new believers, who will face family pressure to participate in these ceremonies. Ask God to give them strength and courage to stand firm in their faith as they continue to follow our Lord, Jesus. We pray that as they stand firm in faith, they will have a great impact on their families, bringing Light and Truth to them in a gracious way. Thank you for your faithful and continued prayers for the work in greater Taichung area. Your prayers make a difference in lives. Keep praying!

March Madness...

Thanks to the internet, we are able to experience March Madness here in Taiwan. All the boys made picks and Wade is especially having fun keeping up with the brackets. We are able to watch games live through the internet. Since we are 12 hours ahead -- at times the games come on at a more reasonable time here than in the States. Above you see how we can view March Madness. We are looking forward to next year when we will be on furlough and see the games from a normal TV. Hopefully, NC State will be in the tourney next year.

Hunter is 9!!!!

Hunter celebrated his 4th straight birthday here in Taiwan. He decided to have a bowling party for this 9 year old party and invited all the boys in his class. They had a great time and Hunter declared that this was his best birthday yet. Below is a picture of Hunter's 3rd grade teacher, Ms. Neff, praying for Hunter because it was his birthday.

Women's Bible Study


Our House of Blessing Church has begun a women's Bible study every Tuesday afternoon. Page hosts the event in our house. We are very excited as the group has grown. The picture above is of Page, Cheryl (another co-worker) and several Chinese ladies in our church. Continue to pray for these ladies and the Bible Study. Thanks.
