The Immanuel Lutheran Church family was recently treated to an interesting and informative video chat with the Pastor and Mrs. Askins during the Sunday morning Adult Bible Class. They informed us their family and the entire LCMS mission headquartered in Hong Kong will soon be moving to a new base on the island of Taiwan. Although this move will mean lower costs for the mission, it will also mean new challenges: Living in a non-English speaking country will require the entire Askins family to learn the Mandarin language. Immanuel is a committed sponsor of the Askins family through prayer and financial support. They urged us to keep updated with their experiences and activities while in Asia and welcomed us to communicate with them.
Keep the Askins family in your prayers and connect with them by downloading the Askins’ Prayer Card, partnering with the Askins, and by following the Askins family on their Blog and on Facebook.

It’s amazing to learn of how the Church is growing in Asia. Pastor Askins has opened up our eyes to the work the Holy Spirit is doing in this part of the world, bringing the Good News to a part of the world that has never heard of Jesus Christ. Thank you to the Askins Family for serving our Church and our Lord.
