Taiwan Conference had Mission Day on August 31, 2014. There were various events, which were intended for local residents, such as praise and worship, aerobics class, a health seminar and free hairstyling service. Taiwan Conference had introduced the purpose of Mission Day to directors of local community welfare institutions and had asked them to invite the local people to the Conference’s Mission Day events.
In a praise and worship session, Pastor Jim Hsu, director of Taiwan Conference Sabbath school ministries, taught participants various praise songs. They actively learned the songs and enjoyed singing along even though the songs were new to them. When Pastor Hsu prayed, all the participants responded, “Amen.” The pastor’s wife led out in an aerobics class. Not only did the participants enjoy the class, but the institution directors gaineda good impression and expressed their hope of inviting her to their welfare institutions as an aerobicsinstructor.
Pastor Cyrus Shen, secretary of Taiwan Conference, gave attendees a health lesson, especially on the different values of foods by their color. All the attendees of these events were presented a book which contains the gospel of God.
It was a blessing from God that a total of twenty-five souls were together on Mission Day. Moreover, Taiwan Conference was able to build a bridge between the conference and the local communitythrough this event. Taiwan Conference plans to invite them to other events as follow-up. Two days later, as an extension of Mission Day, the staff of Taiwan Conference went out onto thestreets ingroups to clean the neighborhood.When they shared their love with the local people, they could also reveal the love of Jesus.
