Alliance Church Partners Robbed

October 7, 2008

Thieves broke into the home of John and Hoiling Chan, C&MA national church partners in Berlin, Germany, the night of October 5. “They took some money, documents, a television, and most importantly their two computers,” said Alliance missionary Calvin Lai. Even the Chans’ updated backup hard drive was taken. 
 
“The police were notified, but we think it may not be easy to retrieve the stolen items,” said Lai. “Please pray that John and Hoiling may have peace in their hearts and find a way to get back their lost data in their computers. Also, pray that Satan’s scheme will not succeed in disrupting their studies and their ministry with a short-term team from New York this week.”

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.
