You Shall Love One Another

Evangelist Sywen Lwo at Hsinchu Center

I have been ministering at Kuan-si Township in Hsinchu County for one year. It was a joy that 19 people were baptized: 13 were from my direct evangelism programs, and six were indirectly from the parish evangelism programs that I assisted. In the past, this parish had less than 50 parishioners, and only had one or no baptisms per year. Praise the Lord for the changes since we have ministered there.
After our evangelists came to Kuan-si, we jointly implemented various and popular physical, psychological, and spiritual programs with volunteer Catholics at the parish hall. On May 21, we had about 60 local residents who attended our programs also attend the quarter-end exhibit and teacher appreciation dinner. They were delighted for the opportunity to enter into the Catholic church where they have been passed by for the past thirty some years. Participants were grateful for the fruits of the programs. Alienated Catholic participants who attended programs have now become volunteers to serve in programs.
Jesus said “You shall love one another”. This loving spirit was fully shown at the potluck gathering and in the service of the devoted volunteer teachers. The seeds of Good News are out there, soon they will sprout and grow in the community. We currently have six catechumen classes on going, please continue to support and pray for us!
