Evangelist Grace Huang’s New Ministry at Taichung Center
Inculturation of Systematic One-Brings-One Evangelism
St. Vianney Parish is located at the Nan-twun area in Taichung and has around 200 (about 40% of the total registered) active parishioners. In February 2010, the parish and our Evangelism Center jointly hosted a “Weiya 1-0-1 Evangelism” event - God invites His people, including non-Catholics from every profession to His year-end banquet. It inculturates the Weiya tradition, in which the business owner hosts a year-end banquet for all employees. Parishioners invited their friends, relatives, and colleagues to this parish event, and then accompanied the non-Catholics to attend the pre-catechumen classes. Through this event, we have 16 people joining the group catechumen class and five in the individual classes.
Systematic 1-0-1 Evangelism at Lu-kang Queen of Peace Parish
Folk religion dominates the religion of Lu-kang. Only about 50 active parishioners which is about 50% of the total registered at the Queen of Peace. Parish and Evangelism Center jointly began evangelism in 2009 and five were baptized in December. Parishioners were very excited and said this was the first time there were this many people being baptized in the past decades!
Their newly-baptized are now serving in the catechumen class and accompanying the new catechumens. We had the second Systematic 1-0-1 Evangelism event in 2010. Through this event, we now have five people in the group catechumen class and three in the individual classes.
