Joy to the World Tour Ministers to Thousands God was definitely at work in this year's down-island Christmas tour! The two-week tour of five cities, 10 school rallies, and seven evening performances resulted in over 800 people making a decision to accept Christ as their personal Savior. Over 2,000 attendees also asked to be followed up and receive more information about God. The theme for the tour was "Joy to the World," and the Heavenly Melody choir was joined by pianist Huntley Brown, saxophonist Met Francisco, and five English teachers. The program consisted of inspirational Christmas songs, dances, skits, instrumental music, and a message sharing the real meaning of Christmas. Many faithful readers and listeners of Let's Talk in English, Studio Classroom, and Advanced were delighted to meet the English teachers and Heavenly Melody singers. "It is always fun to talk to the students face-to-face," said Hazel Johansen, who has been on eight Christmas tours. The two final performances were in Taipei at the International Convention Center on December 12 and 13. The 3,200-seat auditorium was packed both nights, and the ORTV staff were available to talk with students and help collect the spiritual response cards. Much work was done behind the scenes, too. It took many technicians to pull off the large-scale musical performances, and the crew worked very long hours to help the program run smoothly. If you're in Taiwan and if you missed the live performance, the program will be aired on GOOD TV on December 21 at 3:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
