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 had
the opportunity to lead more than a thousand students to accept Jesus. During the mission trip, not only were the
local students blessed, but also the lives of 290 team members were blessed. In
addition, we now 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 Dalen will cover him for ministry at
church. Please pray!
