>Written by Lydia Ma
Te-Sheng Presbyterian Church in Kaohsiung recently held “Let Love Arise 2010
Concert” to
raise funds to support the children of the late Rev. Wan Hung-chieh, who
passed away recently.
The concert held at Kaohsiung Cultural Center on July 7, 2010, featured
impressive
performances by Te-Sheng Church Orchestra. This ensemble not only performs
during regular
Sunday services at the church, but also stages concerts periodically as a
means for its
members to get involved in community outreach.
Te-Sheng Church’s pastor, Rev. Hu Chung-ming, said Rev. Wan was a gifted
pastor who
endeared himself to many people. The concert was aimed at meeting the
educational needs
of Wan’s young children, currently in grades 3, 6, and 9.
Rev. Wan used to pastor Chung-Cheng Presbyterian Church and died on April 13,
2010 when
he accidentally fell from the upper floor of his old home. He is survived by
his wife, Chang Jui-
>fen, and three young children.
Rev. Hu, who’d once been appointed as chairman of PCT’s General Assembly
Ministers
Committee, remarked that many ministers had fallen ill, been hospitalized, or
passed away
recently. He urged PCT members to pray and care for their ministers’ health
and daily needs.
As for Rev. Wan’s family, his wife has recently begun working at Zuoying
Presbyterian Church
in community outreach ministries. The family has also moved to a new home in
Kaohsiung’s
>Zuoying area as well.
