On my way back from Mexico, I got locked in a hotel room. I'll tell you about it in 5 minutes. Take a look here.
Additionally, can you help me praise and pray for these things:
More than 65 people joined our music night on 10/22. It was a huge success. Praise God!
God is moving in our midst, bringing many new friends. Please pray for these new friends.
We're struggling a bit with seasonal sicknesses like colds.
We want to launch three new classes in November. Will you pray that we can get the students to join these classes?
We have an all-night prayer meeting coming up on 10/29. Pray for encounters with God during this intense time of seeking God.
We hosted a group of pastors from all over the city and we spent time praying for God's revival to break in!
A special church volunteer rally is coming on 11/5.
We're in the middle of planning for 2023.
Our friends Leon and Flora got married and enjoyed a little time off in October.
I'm getting more opportunities for 1 on 1 discipleship with people in our community.
I got to share about Nehemiah at another local church.
Enoch and Noah have a good routine at school.
Jamie's Deeper Life Class had more than 15 students at it.
We moved to a new building, and God provided new partners to work with us to help people smell, become, and spread the Aroma of Christ.
I decided to make a 17-minute video describing what we're trying to accomplish as the newly restructured Aroma Village (you will learn about our big goal, the team who's accomplishing it, and some stories of work God has done so far). I know that's sooooo long, why would you even want to watch it?
I know why. Because you are the Aroma of Christ and you want to see more people in Taiwan and worldwide smell, become, and spread that same Aroma.
So, why not go ahead and watch it?
Now that you've seen it, what's next?
You could build the village with us by making a tax-deductible donation through that blue button. How much should it be? Well, that depends on you and God. Right now more than 35 people give monthly anywhere between $10 and $250 per month. Some people give one-time gifts between $500 and $30,000. The actual amount is up to you, but any gift big or small makes a huge impact in the kingdom of God.
You could invite someone else to join us on the journey. Who else needs to know about this? Maybe someone else in your family or at your church? You could forward this email to them or put them in touch with me!
I see great days ahead at Aroma Village and for all of us Aromans around the world. Let's spread the Aroma of Christ together!
