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.
