Evangelistic outreach meetings planned for this year’s Ghost Month in Taipei

Reported by Chiou Kuo-rong

Seven Christian churches in Taipei’s Jing-Mei area are collaborating this year 
ahead of Ghost Month by taking turns hosting an evangelistic outreach meeting 
for area residents. This interdenominational effort is taking place every 
Saturday night at a church and will run for 7 consecutive weeks until the end 
of Ghost Month.

Rev. Weng Shih-chun from Jing-Mei Presbyterian Church said that several pastors 
in Jin-Mei area had reached a consensus a while ago that they wanted to raise 
awareness about Christianity in Jing-Mei area so that residents would get to 
know Christianity and the peace of Christ would be with all of them who are 
struggling in life.

An joint prayer meeting was held at Jing-Mei Baptist Church on the evening of 
July 16, 2011, chaired by members from Jing-Mei Presbyterian Church. The 
service began with a lively dance program performed by church youths followed 
by moving testimonies from 2 renown Christian artists.

The church was filled to maximum capacity and more than 300 people attended 
this event. There was an altar call to invite people to accept Christ before 
pastors from all 7 churches went up and prayed blessings over these newcomers.

For Weng, the purpose for hosting these events is to soften the hearts of 
residents and prepare for a wave of spiritual revival in Taiwan. But besides 
these evangelistic events, all 7 pastors from Jing-Mei area already been 
fellowshipping together every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m.

During their times of fellowship, they openly talk about their own work and 
burdens, and also share with one another whatever resources they have available 
at their respective churches. This kind of interdenominational relations and 
openness to other denominations is something all PCT churches could aspire 
toward or consider, said Weng.
