Huang Hwei-ming (Grace) is a graduate from our Evangelism Department's inaugural class and one of the first three evangelists at our Taipei Evangelism Center. She has done a successful job in catechumen programs at Luchou's St. Joseph Parish. Many parishioners did not feel worthy to participate in church ministries, but she encouraged them to bring non-Catholic friends to Church and many of their friends were baptized later. Over the last year and half, through her efforts in cooperation with the members of St. Joseph Parish, 41 non-Catholics have been led to Baptism. Another 20 catechumens are preparing for Baptism at the end of February.
At the present time she is working on nine catechumen courses and leading two 101 Evangelism Prayer Communities (with a total of 24 members, 14 of whom are newly baptized Catholics). Three group catechumen courses, with a total of 15 catechumens, were developed through these 101 Evangelism Prayer Communities. With her tender loving personality, she offers five individual catechumen courses with a total of 6 people. On Saturdays, Grace and 10 members of the 101 Evangelism Prayer Community visit a Convalescent Home at which 25 – 30 residents regularly participate in a specially adapted pre-catechumen program; already nine of the residents have asked to be baptized and begun simplified catechism classes.
Grace is also now being supported by a Mission Circle of benefactors. At present this Mission Circle is made of six "cells" with a total of 33 individuals who not only financially support Grace's evangelical ministry, but also, as mission partners, pray for her and her catechumens.
