I'd like to share with you two things that happened recently. First, I was touched by a red piggy bank.

A former coworker, 5-month pregnant, brought a full red piggy bank to the office and said in a shy manner that she didn't know how much there was inside, but would like to donate to Lifting Hands Network. When she gives birth in June, she would then pay a visit again with her baby.

I held the full red piggy bank in both hands and felt the weight pressing down on my palm; the weight symbolizes her love and blessings for LHN. I could almost see she put in every coin with joy and care, offering to God simply to please Him. My eyes became moist.

Another encouraging message came from Methodist Graduate School of Theology professor Chang George: "I'm glad to see LHN published The Church in God's Program to help the broad Chinese Christian community. May God give you double blessings so that you can have a greater impact on Chinese churches in this generation."

Thanksgiving--
1. Christian Church of Kaohsiung & Asian Missiological Graduate School will co-host Ecclesiology Conference.

2. The study group of Experiencing Grief held in Taoyuan Guishan Church went smoothly. Participants said they had learned a lot.

3. The Sunday sermons in Phoebe Church (February 15 and 22) received very good feedback.

4. The proofreading of Letting God be Judge went smoothly.

Prayer Requests--
1. Please pray for Robert L. Saucy who was hospitalized from a bad car accident. His neck and spinal cord are damaged. He is still in ICU. Very weak and trying hard to rest, but there's myriads of procedures the staff must do that interrupt sleep. Neurosurgeon is pleased, however. But his road back will be long.

2. Please pray that more seminaries and Christian institutions in Taiwan are willing to co-host the special conference of ecclesiology.

3. Please pray that systematic theology professors teaching at Taiwan's seminaries will be willing to use The Church in God's Program as a textbook.

4. Please pray that more joint-prayer meetings in different counties/cities of Taiwan will be willing to co-organize “Walk out of Grief” workshop.

5. Please pray that God will use “Walk out of Grief” workshop to help churches in Taiwan to establish grief & loss of spouse ministries so that brothers & sisters will be able to empathize with those who are grieving and lead them to Lord.

6. Please pray that God shows when is the proper time for Tom Sappington, Ph.D. (the author of Letting God Be Judge) to hold a special conference in Taiwan, and that He gives us enough manpower and financial support for the conference.

7. The office we are currently using is leased by Neihu Xinsheng Church for free, and the office is due this month to growing number of church members. Please pray that God will provide a new office for us.

8. Please pray that the books and DVDs of Lifting Hands Network will become a tremendous blessing to brothers and sisters in Christ.
