Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Greetings from the Christian Witness Center in Warsaw, Missouri!May the blessing of the Lord be with you and your family!

Evangelism Emphasis Month

Jesus said: “I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest” (John 4:35b)
For the past 20 years, we used students’ Spring Break to hold the Gospel Camp. Our purpose is letting those who do not know Jesus to have the opportunity not only to hear the gospel but also to accept Jesus as their personal Savior. This year, the Gospel Camp will be held from the evening of Friday March 16 to noon Monday March 19. We pray that all the Christians can see what the Lord sees, that it is time for the harvest. As the Apostle Paul also said, “Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!”(1 Corinthians 9:16b). Right now you can pray and invite.Who else will do this if you do not? God has prepared His faithful and evangelism-gifted servants, Pastor Tsu-Kung Chuang and Pastor George Hsu to preach here. God has also moved 8 brothers and sisters’ hearts from California and Colorado to form a mission team to help the evangelism. Please do not miss this opportunity. Please remember this evangelism emphasis month in prayers.

Dining Room Construction

Step by step, the progress continues. We wish to startusing part of the dining room in this coming Gospel Camp. As you know, even though we have the multi-purpose building, Canaan Hall, all the equipment is used.The Dish-washer, stove, oven, metal tables, all of them are from a closed Chinese restaurant, and we are very thankful for this. We plan to upgrade them—some of them are very old—and also install a new walk-in cooler. We thank God for the money you offered. We will use your gifts wisely to glorify God so more people can be benefited through those facilities.

Again, we appreciate your faithful financial support and prayers.

“Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season…endure the hardship, do the work of an evangelist” (2 Timothy 4:2, 5)..

Serving God together with you,
