台灣基督長老教會枋原教會 - Fangliao Township

Urban mission history At that time, Pastor Chen Tiancai from Shiwen Church came to Fangliao to live, And in 1990, the pastor’s wife Lin Guizhen was shocked to discover that Fangliao had Many aboriginal compatriots from various villages (Chunri Township, Shizi Township), every time they arrive There is nowhere to go to worship and worship on Sundays. I am deeply worried and pity for their faith and life. Unfortunately, so I summoned the brothers and sisters who had settled in Fangliao to use Lin Xiuqin for the time being The house rented by the sisters is a place of worship and gatherings every Wednesday and Friday. The pastor’s wife Lin Guizhen is responsible for sharing the gospel. About 15 people (Mr. and Mrs. Chen Shufen, Lai Tiancai, Li Shanshan, Wang Henghua and other children with children) joined the party. Three years later, the meeting house was moved to the first floor of Pastor Chen Tiancai's rental house (Longan 50) in Longshan Village, Beishiliao, and the ministry was gradually on track. The elders of the Shiwen Church continue to support the Sunday service. In 1996, Pastor Chen Tiancai and his wife believed that it was time to hand in baton, so they took advantage of the promotion of the gospel movement in 2000 to report to the presbytery. The presbytery also established this congregation as "Taiwan Presbyterian Church Paiwan Presbyterian Church Fangyuan Gospel Station" on January 12, 1997. In September 1998, Preacher Tong Junhua started the pastoral meeting in our church. In the third year after the pastoral meeting, Preacher Tong Junhua rented a chapel for the third year. The space is small, the landlord does not renew the rent, there is no dormitory for the shepherds, and the church is planned to be built at the time, and the family of the preacher Tong Junhua moved to Fangliao. In my own house, when Preacher Tong Junhua and Master Huang Mingyong saw the needs of the church, they were also willing because they were the pastors of the church. Make the first floor of your own home a place for temporary gatherings. Four years later, due to the increase in the number of believers, there are 18 households, 24 adult members, and 17 child members. The Taoist master led the elders through constant prayer to find the Fangliao area suitable for the church of our church. The brothers and sisters also worked together to build the church. I am willing to participate in fundraising to help the church ministry. I also hope that there is a place where brothers and sisters can gather and refuge in peace in Fangliao. Thank you The Lord finally purchased the land at No.1, Lane 223, Longshan Road, Longshan Village, Fangliao Township in 2005. Thank God for his leadership. And grace completed the dedication on January 22, 2005.  Future prospects 1.
