MISSION PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: Gus & Audrey in Taiwan
GRLC partners with Gus and Audrey in Taiwan, who work with Taiwanese Christians to see marginalised people welcomed into the local church and become disciples of Jesus. Gus and Aud are members of GRLC sent to Taiwan through OMF International. They live in Taichung, the second biggest city in Taiwan.
Most people in Taiwan follow some kind of traditional belief, often fusing ancestor worship, idol worship, Taoism, or Buddhism. A major challenge for someone seeking to follow Jesus is surrendering their old beliefs and traditions while still showing respect and love to their family, who remain entrenched in those traditions.
LoCS (Light of Christ's Salvation Church) is their home church in Taichung. This is a beautiful church, very similar to GRLC, whose desire is to reach out and love those in the community, understanding and embracing life in all its messiness. They also have a community outreach arm, much like Life Care, that serves the marginalised, including the elderly, families, and students.
Gus especially loves volunteering at their church. He gets to hang out with kids who come to LoCS after school as a safe space to have a meal, do homework, play games, sing karaoke, and learn about Jesus. He also loves attending their men's Bible study fellowship, which gathers every Sunday to eat lunch, drink tea, eat snacks, read and study the Bible, and share and pray together. All the men in this group have experienced (or are experiencing) hardship of some form, so there is a mutual understanding, empathy, and support among them.
Audrey is one of the team leaders of the Pearl Family Garden. She and her team visit the streets in the red light district of Taichung in the hopes of befriending women in prostitution and sharing the love and light of Jesus with them.
Please help Gus and Aud bring the hope of Jesus to the men and women of Taiwan by giving to our May Mission month. You can find more info on our Mission webpage:
