2018 Short Term Missions: Pray for the following Summer Mission
teams:

ØOperation Dawn (San
Jose, 8/10-12)

ØTaiwan Hakka (8/23-31)

2018 Taiwan Short-term Missions (7/21-8/3) has been successfully completed: Thank God for leading the Taiwan Short-Term Team to serve nearly 4,000 students in 19 Junior High Schools and the Taichung Hui-Ming Blind School on the west coast of Taiwan in the past 2 weeks. We have the opportunity to lead more than a thousand students to accept Jesus.  During the mission trip, not only the local students were blessed, but also the life of 290 team members were blessed. In addition, we have a closer connection with the local churches and the shepherds.  Apart from leading the pastors of the churches to visit the English Character camps on campus, we also visited the various community caring centers we established in the area.  At the Taipei Lutheran Truth Church, we also met with nearly 30 pastors from the United States and Taiwan to discuss the vision of the Taiwan West Coast spiritual revival and the opportunity for partnership. This year we have witnessed how God has amazingly opened many doors for us. He seems to be launching a great wave of gospel movement on the west coast of Taiwan. May God's purpose be accomplished!  Please pray.

Senior Pastor's Itinerary: After leading the Taiwan Short-Term Mission Team from 7/19-8/3, Pastor Joshua will take vacation leave from 8/4-15. During his absence, Pastor Ken will cover him for ministry at church. Please pray!
