Outreach gospel over foreign friends on Christmas season
Professor Scharrer , CLS Administrative Vice President Mr. Joseph Lu, Ms. KUO Su-feng, and students of mission fellowship went to Nantou and Hsinchu Detention Center for about 500 foreign people whose working visa expired and they over stayed their working visa time period. They held several special Christmas gospel activities and some were held with Catholic churches. Most impressive of all, those foreign friends used their mother tongues to sing Christmas carol together! The preachers tell them the meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ in Thai, in Vietnam, in Indonesian, in English and in Mandarin. After the program, each participant got fresh fruit, snacks, and daily necessity.
Good news, joy to the world! God's salvation in Thai, Vietnam, Indonesian, English and Mandarin
CLS seminarians acted interesting and impressive gospel skit.
Professor Scharrer and some evangelists also went to Taipei Jail annually to celebrate Christmas and share the good news of new born King, Jesus Christ with those prisoners. We pray the prison ministry and the ministry over those foreign friends in Taiwan will save more lives in God's Kingdom.
CLS students and coworkers were busying packing gifts and foods for the prinsoners.

Car Washing for Mission
On November 4, we held our second Car Washing for Mission. All family groups spend one hour in washing cars owned by teachers, students, staff members, and alumni. For each car the owner donates NTD 300, and each motor-cycle NTD 100. In addition to washing we offer prayer and benediction to the car and the owner. The court yard in front of the chapel were full of cars, motor cycles, and sound of prayers and laughter. It was really a fun and meaningful afternoon! As a result, we were able to raise NTD 15,000. That fund will send to a remote village in Ethiopia for their purchase of another water pump.
