Today, the short-term mission team conducted a gospel outreach at Carrefour, a large chain supermarket in Yilan City. Over the years, Carrefour has consistently provided an excellent venue and platform for gospel ministry, all thanks to the strong relationship Pastor Huang established with the store through his tennis ministry. As a result, he often brings different mission teams here to share the gospel.
This afternoon, Pastor Soo and his wife Hannah led us here. They had already prepared the venue and installed all the necessary equipment, creating a space filled with anticipation for our arrival. Praise the Lord for His grace! During today’s outreach, we witnessed God’s presence and experienced the power of united prayer among brothers and sisters. The Lord heard our prayers and brought those He had prepared for salvation into our midst, allowing us to reap the fruit of the gospel and experience heavenly joy.
In just three short hours, we deeply felt God’s love moving among us. As reflected in the devotional passage led by Wendy this morning: “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” (1 John 4:10). This profound love inspired the brothers and sisters on the short-term mission team to serve the Lord wholeheartedly. Sister Fanly, for instance, worked tirelessly from the previous night until 4 a.m. to prepare as many balloon toys as possible for evangelism. This same love drives the team members to persevere and continue laboring diligently, even after facing repeated rejections.
In every scene of sharing the gospel, we saw more than just the act of evangelism. We also witnessed how God’s love miraculously connected the messengers with the listeners. God sent His beloved Son to die for our sins so that people could turn back to Him and receive true salvation.
Throughout today’s outreach, the mission team deeply experienced the Lord’s presence and grace. Praise God! At least 29 people made decisions to follow Christ and pray with the team members wholeheartedly, and 20 of them filled out follow-up cards. We firmly believe that God’s love will continue to work in their lives, guiding them to know Him more and deeply. May all glory and praise be to our Almighty Father God and to our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave His life for us and rose again. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen!

The name of the Lord is worthy to be praised! We prayed for the Lord to prepare good soil in people’s hearts, allowing the seeds of the gospel to sprout and grow. Tonight's evangelism outreach at Carrefour supermarket was a testament to the Lord’s response to our prayers!
Although some people avoided or resisted the message of salvation, the Holy Spirit moved in their hearts. As the gospel was preached, many were touched, and one after another made the decision to believe in the Lord. Whether children, young people, or adults, 30 individuals were willing to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
We were filled with excitement and awe at God's power and His miraculous deeds. With humble hearts, we thanked God for allowing us to witness His work and to serve as channels for His grace, partnering with Him in this mission.
May the Lord continue to strengthen Pastor Huang and his wife, adding faithful co-workers to support the follow-up and nurturing of these new believers. May these believers grow in their faith, become lights in the darkness, and guide even more people to the Lord, bringing glory to His name! Amen!

At tonight's evangelistic meeting at Carrefour, I witnessed and experienced the miraculous power of God. Many people were willing to listen to the gospel, and some responded with simply believing and accepting salvation. Hallelujah! All glory to God. I also observed brothers and sisters serving wholeheartedly, working together in harmony and complementing one another. This is entirely by God's grace, allowing us to partake in His work, fulfill our calling, and share the gospel. Thank you, Lord!

Thank God for His abundant grace. Over these past few days of working alongside Him, I’ve experienced His unique guidance each day. The earlier days were filled with the hard work of sowing seeds, but today brought the joy of harvesting. I thank God for His rich provision, bringing people with open hearts to us. At Carrefour today, I had the opportunity to meet 7 non-believers. After hearing the gospel, 6 were willing to place their faith in the Lord, while only one chose not to listen. God’s power truly exceeds anything we can imagine. All glory to our Redeeming Lord. Amen!
Fanly
Thank the Lord! Tonight, the short-term mission team held a supermarket evangelism outreach at the Carrefour food court to share the gospel. My heart is overflowing with gratitude and awe! God’s abundant provision in drawing people to hear and receive the gospel exceeded all my expectations. The number of attendees was far beyond anything we could have imagined!
The co-workers collaborated seamlessly, serving with joy and dedication as they sought the Lord’s lost sheep. God’s love overflowed, filling the entire venue. Many were willing to pause and listen to the gospel message, and more than 20 people made the decision to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord of life! Among them were individuals from all walks of life—young, old, middle-aged, and even children—expressing their willingness to believe.
Praise God for His marvelous works! We ask the Lord to help and empower Pastor Soo and Hannah as they continue the follow-up efforts. May God strengthen the faith of those who are seeking Him!
Thank You, Lord! Hallelujah!
Thank God for the opportunity to participate in the evangelism ministry at Carrefour Supermarket. Tonight, as I shared the salvation of Jesus Christ with the people of Yilan using the two evangelistic tools—the five-color beads and the caterpillar—the Holy Spirit guided me to work alongside Him. He continually strengthened my faith and filled me with words from God, enabling me to confidently approach diverse individuals and clearly present the truth of the gospel. I am deeply grateful to be a vessel of the gospel, sharing the good news of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

"There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
Thank You, Lord, for coming to save us and seek the lost. Today, during the ministry at the shopping mall, God revealed His deep love for Yilan and its people. He was with us, working alongside us. Among the gospel targets that God had prepared, team members worked tirelessly to proclaim the message of complete salvation. Some received the seeds in their hearts, while others prayed with us and decided to follow Christ.
I cannot help but marvel at God’s power and His miraculous deeds. May all the glory be to our Abba Father in heaven. Amen!
Today’s evangelism at Carrefour was a truly touching milestone! It was an unparalleled joy and grace to witness and personally participate in the process of others accepting the gospel. God’s wondrous works are always revealed when we obey Him and serve Him in unity. All glory and praise be to our Almighty God!
