More than 200 Christian artists to take part in “Love In April” Evangelistic 
Concert in Taipei

“Love In April” is a large evangelistic concert featuring more than 200 
Christian artists that is scheduled to take place in Taipei Arena on April 15, 
2012 at 7:00 p.m. Commenting on this upcoming event, PCT General Secretary 
Andrew Chang has urged PCT local churches to make use of it to further PCT’s 
“One-leads-One, New Doubling Movement” by inviting friends and family to attend 
this event either at the venue or via live webcast so that more people may hear 
the gospel message.

“Love in April” is sponsored by Arise and Shine Artists Association, which has 
invited Chang to be a member of the event’s preparation committee. The concert 
will feature many artists, talk show hosts, anchormen and anchorwomen who are 
also professing Christians. Chang said that because so many Christian artists 
are gathering there on that night, the event will attract the attention of 
mainstream media and their coverage will be a good opportunity to sow gospel 
seeds.

Speaking as the General Secretary of the PCT, Chang also said that the PCT’s 
participation in inter-denominational events such as this one is good for the 
PCT and other church denominations. He explained that PCT pastors and 
laypersons can use this opportunity to get acquainted with people from other 
denominations in the preparation process leading up to the concert and these 
interactions will further people’s understanding of PCT as a church with 
multiple ministry dimensions.

Arise and Shine Artists Association Director Huang Guo-lun said that he was 
delighted at the PCT’s participation in the planning of this event as the PCT 
plays an important role in the history and development of Christianity in 
Taiwan. Not only is the PCT considered the “elder brother” among churches in 
Taiwan and the “first fruits” of evangelism by foreign missionaries, it also 
has more than 1,200 local churches in Taiwan with more than 230,000 members. As 
an influential church in Taiwan, PCT’s support and presence is a blessing.

As for the program of this evangelistic concert, Huang said that more than 200 
Christian artists ranging from singers and actors to movie directors and talk 
show hosts would appear on stage. The concert would culminate with a 30 minute 
opera that would not disappoint the audience.   

Huang also said during an interview that Chang had asked him to compose a theme 
song for PCT’s “One-leads-One, New Doubling Movement” and he had recently 
finished writing the song. He hoped that the “Love in April” concert would be a 
good opportunity for PCT churches to further the goals of the movement.
