(HAHK-uh) – “Churches from around Taiwan celebrated a ‘Hakka Arise’ gathering in Taipei in late December, with more than 3,000 attending. Worship, testimonies, and gospel sharing were focused on Hakka people hearing and responding to Jesus’ story – His incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. At least 3 Baptist churches joined the gathering. We praise God for the hundreds who heard the gospel in their language, many for the first time. We praise Him for those who have chosen to follow Him. Pray for His light and truth to penetrate the darkness and lostness here. Pray for effective follow-up by local churches. Pray for more Taiwanese Baptist churches to be burdened for the unreached Hakka of Taiwan and for 2025 to be the year that ministry to Taiwan’s Hakka explodes.
