Car Washing for Mission

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:50:19 +0800

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.

Prayer and Benediction to the car and the owner.
