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.”
