New Hsinchu Evangelism Center – Hakka Evangelism
By Evangelist Lwo Sywen
The beautiful Tung tree flowers, a symbol of the Hakka culture, are blossoming all over the mountain area of the west coast of Taiwan at this time of the year. This mountainous west cost is where most Hakka gathers at Hsien, Tao, and Miao counties in Taiwan. Canadian missionaries brought the faith here in 1954. This is the first place where Hakka evangelism from our Evangelism Center begins – Kuan-si Township in Hsinchu County.
Long ago, there was a Lei-zhi Evangelism School that had trained dozens of evangelists, which meant the church was always packed on Sundays. Because of mission shifted and losing evangelists, Kuan-si Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish has only 50 parishioners now. Most parishioners are elderly, and I am the only evangelist. From the parishioners’ thrilling expression when they heard that the Pastoral Council had approved my evangelism ministry here, I could feel the desire of the long-awaited Sacred Heart of Jesus who urgently wanted to bestow His love on the people. It is such a blessing for me to be the channel of His love.
I also want to thank all the benefactors’ generous support so the newest Hsin-chu Evangelism Center could open in March. Thank you and may God’s blessings be with you and your family always!
