The Chon Ohana: First church!

First church!

We've been trying to start a small house church for surfers, that meets on Friday nights. Since surfers surf on Sundays, we're trying to accommodate the average surfers schedule. So far only one night has happened where we can have "church". The turn-up was small, but it's not about the numbers, it about Jesus. Here's a pic from that night...please pray that our church can be able to meet more consistently and that more would come.

Eliah, Chris, Zack, and Doris

Want to Get Involved? Here's how:

Praying: We send out prayer requests through email so please email us at chonohana@gmail.com if you would like to commit to praying for our family and ministry.

Giving: We are Full-Time Missionaries with YWAM Taipei. If God moves in your heart to give, directions on how to give as well as some of our specific needs are listed below the Donate button.

Sending an outreach Team: Please email us if your church is interested in sending an outreach team here. We can connect you to our outreach department.

Specific Needs

Ministry:
- Conferences: Every year, we attend a couple conferences for YWAM Taipei and Christian Surfers International. With travel and conference fees, it averages to about $500-700/yr.

Personal:
- Kid's education: About $400 a month is needed to cover Kaiya and Jayden's monthly school fees.
- Transportation: Eliah's moped is on it's last leg. We would like to raise about $1900 to get one that will last.

Direction on how to give: If giving towards one of the needs listed above, please email us (chonohana@gmail.com) the amount you are giving and specifically what it’s for.

If paying by check, it is tax-deductable and can be made out to "YWAM". Then on a separate note, put our account number “3639” and/or our names. (Please do not put our names or our number anywhere on the check in order for it to be processed) The check can be mailed to: YWAM, 501 Blacktail Rd, Lakeside, MT, 59922.

(Please email us if you are interested in setting up a monthly direct deposit)

If paying online, please go to www.PayPal.Me/Chon (There’s also a “Donate” button on this page that can take you directly to that page)

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you SO much for all of your prayers, support, encouraging words, and really, your friendship in our lives. We are often so overwhelmed by the love and generosity that you show to our family and our calling.
We would not be here, bringing the Kingdom to Taiwan and to the unreached if it were not for you, who are called to help send us. We really thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
