April Update

The young lady had just come from China into the U.S. and had come down with the flu. With no car and very little understanding of our culture with insurance and what doctor to go to, she was getting worse and worse. That is, until a Chinese Christian found out about her need and helped her go to the doctor and get the prescribed medicine. This young lady is now attending a local Chinese church. When we reach out to people in need, we can change their lives for all of eternity. Romans 15:20 says “It has always been my ambition to preach the Gospel where Christ was not known…” Romans 15:20
    We usually think of that in going overseas, yet many foreign un-reached groups are right here at our doorstep studying in our universities.  We have discovered the Lord leading us into that direction more and more and have recently partnered with OUTREACH INTERNATIONAL to take advantage of this new opportunity. We are merging Harvesters International with Outreach International.
    Al Hamilton, the founder of O.I. is someone who has great charisma in recruiting and was responsible for our decision back in 1990 to return to Taiwan to help start a new church work in the capital city. We believe in O.I.’s mission and are excited to have this new level of accountability as we step out into reaching the many Chinese students from Taiwan and China here in Phoenix. The change includes writing the checks out to Outreach International  and putting in the memo line, COC2001. Please continue to send your checks to our forwarding agent. And continue to pray for opportunities to reach the Chinese students and families.
    Thank you for your confidence and support and we thank God for you every single day as we could not accomplish anything without your partnership!
