PCT rebuilding efforts continue on eve of typhoon’s 1st  anniversary

>Reported by Chen Yi-hsuan, Chiou Kuo-rong

>Written by Lydia Ma

PCT held another conference on post-Morakot reconstruction and  outreach 
ministries on July

15~16, 2010, at Chasan Aborigine reservation in Alishan Township,  Chiayi 
County.

Pastors and social workers representing the 6 PCT Morakot  Reconstruction 
Centers across

Taiwan convened to report on their recent work progress and  discuss challenges 
and new

>developments.

As PCT rebuilding efforts enter a new stage, PCT General Secretary  Andrew 
Chang shared

that many people have asked him how the General Assembly planned  to use the 
NT$200

>million it received in Morakot donations.

Chang underscored that more money doesn’t always translate  into better 
ministry results

unless there is a great vision in place before work begins that  guides all 
efforts.

The meeting focused on the needs of every reconstruction center at  the 
present. For example,

South Bunun Presbytery’s representative, Rev. Chu Mei-fang,  said her center 
planned to stock

up canned food, rice, and dry noodles ahead of typhoon season. But  the 
presbytery also

>needed 4 generators.

Tsou District representatives reported that their center needed 5  generators 
and hoped

>churches would help by giving an offering.

PCT General Assembly plans to hold a series of events this August  to remember 
this tragedy

and many forums and concerts are currently in the works.
