Take a photo taken in the direction of Wutai, you can see many beautiful scenery on this road

The appearance of the building is very stylish, in line with the local cultural characteristics, the mountain view and the building are extremely beautiful

Beautiful building, but unfortunately, I didn’t open the door.

A brief history of the Dawadwan Church The initial seed of the gospel was due to several young people such as Chen Wuyuan, Du Songlong, Ke Yishun, etc., who often went to the next door in Malay. All three of them were married to Maercun.) It happened that at that time, Maercun’s young man Lin Quanmao had already believed in the Lord and began to spread the gospel. Chen Wuyuan from the village later often went to Maer Village to listen to preaching. After being baptized and converted from catechumen, he began to preach the gospel and testify to the Lord in his village in 9 (38). At the same time, there are students in this village who are in Sandi Elementary School, listening to the pastor Huang Su'e (a former pastor of the Pingtung Central Committee, who taught bible stories, etc., to lay the seeds of the gospel to start the village. The village is started by Ke Huiyu, a believer in Maer Village, and Sandimen Church Zheng Xinghui often comes to the village to preach the gospel. More and more people believe in the Lord because of the catechumen. Therefore, regular worship began on February 5, 1950 (39) AD. I started gathering at Baljius (Pastor Lin Jianer)'s home. Later, due to the increase in the number of believers, I bought the Giljgiljaw home that moved to the church as the first place of worship. The church used thatch as building material, and the church began to be built in September 1952 (41). , Was completed on December 25 of the same year. The number of believers gradually increased, and the church could not accommodate. Kavuaran Ke Yishun (a former church deacon) in the village dedicated himself to building the site for the church. The time was mainly after the start of 1957 (4). The church was dedicated on July 15 as the second chapel of the Association. At that time, Guragu Li Tengyun (a former elder of the church) prayed continuously for the believers. The believers in the village enthusiastically loved the Lord and prayed with one heart, so that the faith of the village was unified, and other denominations were integrated into the Presbyterian Church. Almost all the family in the village were converted to Christ. The gospel flourishes. The construction was started on December 7, 1965 (54), and the roof was made of red brick walls and lead plates. The construction was completed on April 24 of the following year, and the church was dedicated for the third time on August 2. In 1988, the government promoted the village relocation policy. Under the decree, the church must follow the tribe to move to the Xindala tribe. For the fourth time, a temporary chapel was built with a red brick wall and iron roof. The original name of the Dalai Church, in response to the original propaganda of this sect to promote the restoration of the surnames of the aboriginal peoples, this association decided in August 2003 and was accepted by the presbytery meeting, and the association was renamed ``Dawa Dawang'' ( Tjavatjavang) Church means origin, unity, and forward. The chapel built with tin roofs is old and unusable. While the financial resources of the church are very difficult, the believers built the church with faith in 2008 and laid the foundation for the Thanksgiving service. However, in 2009, the church was built the following year, and the tribe suffered from the typhoon disaster. All roads in the tribe were damaged, and the whole village was trapped in a "safe area". The government decree persuaded all the people to move to the village. But after prayer and discussion, the whole village saw the vision dragged by God, and finally stayed in the original tribe by faith. Under the grace and leadership of God, the fifth church building with reinforced concrete walls and slate roof was completed, and the church dedication service was held on June 6, 2011. The Dawa Tawang Church is an indicator of tribal buildings. The appearance is magnificent, the surrounding walls are stone story walls, and the almanac pictures of tribal migration history, mythological stories, and the introduction of the gospel. The church looks forward to being the blessing of the tribe. The church sets up functional classrooms and promotes outreach work; it provides after-school counseling for the elderly and children, as well as a diverse space for Sunday school and various fellowships. It is hoped that the church can bring up life and glorify the true God. "Zhicheng decided to flowering tree" Author: Songs Ann priest "Dalai No. 5" has always been a jingle nickname in Pak Paiwan. At wedding banquets, where people gather, and in leisure time, "Dalai No. 5" is always one of the topics. Even if it did not happen to the Dalai people or the Dalai tribe, as long as the brand "Dalai No. 5" is attached, it will always bring the best "laughing fruit." However, those who speak, listen to, and laugh are absolutely harmless. Everyone understands that the so-called "Dalai No. 5" all points to a common fact-Dawa Dawang (Dalai) is truth, goodness and beauty. The above is one of the prefaces from my special issue on the 70th anniversary of the teaching of Dawa Dawang Church. Coincidentally, Pastor Chen Chunmei, the Central Committee member who is in charge of preaching today, encouraged the Dawa Dawang Church to build a "truth", "good", and "beautiful" church with the theme of "Building a Church Following God's Heart." It really makes people find the truth and practice the truth in the church; goodness is to uphold justice and practice uncovenant love; beauty is willingness to sacrifice oneself to accomplish God's work. Pastor Chun Mei confessed that she was under tremendous pressure for preaching at this grand meeting, but because she was returning to her hometown, she could serve her tribe through preaching. She also cherished and was grateful. For the 70th anniversary of the Dawa Dawang Church, it can be seen that it has made sufficient preparations. Today’s Thanksgiving service presented the "ethnic language handwritten bible, folk choir, recommended youth study seminary, the establishment of Taichung Fuyin Station, The establishment of the church’s website links with international missions, and the contribution to the Paiwan Central Mission Mission Building.” The church has established videos to record the daily routines of fulfilling these ministries, including how to copy the native language of the Bible, the activities of folk song practice, The dedication and sharing of the students, the bits and pieces of community work, and the dedication to the mission building through the family altar are all innovative ways of giving gifts. Among them, what makes people very moving is the remarks made by the resident pastor Ljumeg in the history of the teaching establishment. She said, "Because it is a cliff, so you can look down." This philosophical statement marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the teaching of Dawa Dawang Church. , Ljumeg (Eileen)'s most beautiful interpretation of the church. She cited the terrain of the tribe and the church to explain that Dawa Dawang is like a visionary and visionary elder sitting on a cliff on the top of the mountain, looking at the panorama from the most macroscopic view. After looking out, I hope to take root downwards, ascend upwards, connect sideways, and blossom outwards. Then, I will become a blossoming tree and honor the name of the Lord. The most praiseworthy thing by the churches is that before his retirement, Pastor Guo wisely sought out his successor, Pastor Ljumeg (Cai Ailian), to take over the pastorship of Dawa Dawang. Pastor Ljumeg (爱莲) has been pastoring the Nanshi Church for nearly 20 years and spared no effort in outreaching ministry, disciple development and cultural revitalization. She not only succeeded in integrating the ministry of the former pastor, but also through the Internet ministry to open up the reach of the mission of the Dawa Dawang church, so that the beauty of the tribe and the touching story of the tribe can be conveyed through the Internet. . She also used her gift of writing to record stories belonging to the Dawa Dawang tribe and church. Xinfeng Dawa Dawang Church has been teaching for 70 years. Thank God for protecting such a beautiful tribe and church, and thank Dawa Dawang people for their efforts to make the tribe "God’s tribe." The unity, unity, goodness, and love of the pastor of the Dawa Tawang church is a model for the Paiwan churches to learn. On a memorable day, may Psalm 125:1-2 be the most beautiful blessing: ``The figure of Zion who trusts in the Lord will stand forever and stand firm! Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord will protect him. People, from now to forever."

Pingtung Wutai Tribe preserves the rich humanities and arts of the aborigines, especially "eating" millet donuts, millet red quinoa plum sauce, Aiyu barbecue sausage dumplings, and the cool tree peas popsicles are mouthwatering... it is delicious and worthwhile. A visit is very awkward!

Passing by in the morning of 2021/10/17.

An attraction to Wutai that will pass before reaching the "Sande Control Point". The roadside leading to the intersection of Dalai Village, there is just a space for parking to watch the beautiful appearance and view of the church building. Looking at the valley, unfortunately the church is not open for general visitors to visit, and can only be viewed from afar (photo taken on March 10, 106).
