Repoted by Lin Wan-ting

In the afternoon on September 17, a thanks-giving service was held to ordain RevChen Hsiu-fen as a missionary of Ping-tung Presbytery to serve Taiwanese studentsvia Lumen United Reformed Church at London, UK.

Rev Liu Chu-en, Moderator of Ping-tung Presbytery, expressed that currentevangelical mission would be no more cast as a one-way traffic, but going toward aninteractive and cooperative partnership. If Taiwanese students, studied in London,could be well served by PCT missionary, and those students’ families could also betouched by such service, then this would form a good cycle and become a realecumenical mission in essence, Rev Liu said.

Rev Chen Hsiu-fen shared her arresting encounter of church martyrs’ lives andhistories, when she studied in a French seminary as a student, which continued toinspire her being brave enough to deidicate herself as a missionary for the gospel’ssake. She also expressed deep appreciation for the patronage, teaching and lovegenerously given to her by those faithful pastors and countless brothers and sisters.
