David & Dylan小組

英文牧區是一個國際性的基督徒群體，參加主日崇拜的弟兄姊妹來自於世界各地，有國際學生和在職場工作的弟兄姊妹。許多在英文堂的外籍弟兄姊妹，在台灣是短暫的停留，雖然大家國籍不同，我們都在台南聖教會找到屬靈的家，因為我們在基督裡合一成為一個身體。我們有共同的語言就是英語，使我們可以一起敬拜神。

The English Zone is an international community of believers. Attendees of the Sunday morning English service come from all over the world. A large number of us are full-time students and some of us work full-time jobs. Many of the foreigners in the English Zone only stay in Taiwan temporarily. Despite our different nationalities, we have all found a home at Tainan Holiness Church because we are one body in Christ and we have one common language in which we can worship together: English.

2020年的五月我們從 LINE 群組傳訊息、傳經文開始，慢慢讓神點燃我們之間屬靈家屬的情感；到六月每週日傍晚線上分享；一直到七月第一次實體聚會。我們現在以雙語的模式在每個月的第三及第四週六早上十一點半聚會。當中有國外出生台灣長大的、有台灣出生國外長大的、有國外念書回來的、有國外工作回來的、也有台灣土生土長的但是就是愛英文。無論是一起多認識聖經還是分享生活點滴，能在雙語的氛圍之下交流把中西文化合併真的是領受到雙倍的收穫及祝福。

Our group began as a LINE group in May of 2020 messaging and getting acquainted, allowing God to bond us as true family in Christ. In June, we began group calls every Sunday evening and finally meeting in person come July.  We now meet regularly at 11:30am on the third and fourth Saturday of each month in a bilingual setting.  Some of us were born abroad and grew up in Taiwan, some were born in Taiwan and grew up abroad, some came back from studying or working abroad, and some were born and raised right here in Taiwan but just love English. Whether we are learning more about the Bible together or swapping life stories/testimonies, being able to communicate in a bilingual manner, merging Chinese and Western cultures, we really enjoy double the blessings. 

國際學生小組

國際學生小組自2019年初開始成立，來自外國的高中生及大學生於每週日下午一點聚會，有來自印尼、菲律賓、坦薩尼亞、蒲隆地、史瓦濟蘭、烏干達等國的留學生參與在其中，這是學生們在台灣屬靈的團契，也是一起服事傳福音的教會。

International Students Life Group was launched at the beginning of 2019. High school and college students from other countries meet at one o’clock every Sunday. There are students from Indonesia, Philippines, Tanzania, Burundi, Swaziland, Uganda, and etc. This is their spiritual fellowship in Taiwan. Together they serve the Lord and share the gospel.
