Thanksgiving is a holiday that is celebrated in the United States and Canada. However, you don’t have to be in these two countries to celebrate and be thankful. Worldwide we see so many opportunities for people to give thanks to God and express our gratitude. The Hok-Tek Baptist Church in Kaohsiung, Taiwan has a beautiful tradition. During the year they connect with the local government to assist families in their community. This has become a beautiful ministry. So at this time of the year, then a big Thanksgiving Feast is given and church families as well as those who live in the community and have been helped during the year come together to celebrate. It is a party — FOOD, FUN, GAMES, SONGS . . . you name it. This is such a sweet time to love on these families.
Some families are barely making it financially. Others are challenged with physical issues. Some families are dysfunctional and broken, and desperately need love and care. Whatever the situation, God loves them deeply. Many of the members in Hok-Tek church also have family members who are not yet believers. What an opportunity to love on all of these people.
Pray with us for families in the Hok-Tek Baptist Church as they minister to each other and beyond. Pray especially for these new friends in the Hok-Tek community. Pray for open hearts and opportunities to lead these people to know the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We, from Hokkien Harvest International, wish you a blessed Thanksgiving and a 2021 filled with God’s richest blessings.
