Mission co-workers
the Rev. Choon and Yen Hee Lim serve with the Aboriginal College
Ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT). After they
completed two years of Mandarin language study in Taipei, the
PCT asked the Lims to move to Hualien to plant a campus ministry.
The PCT introduced them to aboriginal pastors and several
college students in Hualien, but the progress of the ministry
was slow. The Lims continually prayed and sought God’s
help. One day they went to the Tai-Chang Amis tribes Presbyterian
Church to attend a worship service. Afterward, a National Teachers
College student, Komod, asked Choon to visit one of his college
meetings. Choon and Komod prayed together that a new Christian
group would be formed in his school. Later, Komod brought his
aboriginal friends to the mission center for the Aboriginal
College Ministry, where everyone prayed together for the birthing
of a new Christian group.
That small group became the first Christian campus ministry
group in Hualien. Within two years, there were Christian groups
at the two universities and four colleges in Hualien. Komod
became the first chairperson of the Aboriginal College Committee
to which each Christian group sends two representatives. Now
more than twenty students from the National Teachers College
gather in the mission center for Bible study and other activities
every Friday. |
