Recently our church, The Home Of Christ (HOC) in Taipei had a special yearly joint service which included members of our bilingual service along with the Chinese congregations. New church leaders like Vickie Pettis from ORTV were blessed and officially installed. In the photo above, Doris, Simon, Pastor Ko and one of the church elders pray for Vickie as she is commissioned as a new leader at HOC.
Linda Yeh prays "Lord, Lord, please take me home..." :) Oh well, who knows what she was really praying, but just look at that expression of peace and earnestness on her face. Behind her are Malia and Vickie. Ling, Bryan and I are down at the end next to Pastor Ko.
Pastor Ko preaches to the church. Doris and Simon are seated in the front row. Doris makes sure Pastor Ko's theology is correct. :) Liz is standing in the top left corner translating as she speaks into a microphone.
Here's Liz translating Pastor Ko's message into English. Perhaps she could have just given up the microphone and settled for whispering in Naomi's ear. :)
The choir and worship band lead the church in praise songs.
Two "laowai" (老外) - Phil and Bryan get blessed and inducted as small group leaders. "Lord, give us the gift of Chinese tongues as well as a servant's heart.":)
