Back for Year 2

After spending a few weeks in American catching up with family, supporting churches, and friends I am now back in Taiwan for year 2. I am excited about the work we are doing here and I am looking forward to seeing how we are able to expand and grow our ministries. This year, everyone on the team has decided to come back again and although we still need two more missionaries, it does not seem that anyone will be coming. So... we press on.

For the next three weeks (and last week), I will be teaching at our CELA Summer Program. We teach english classes in the morning and have camp-like activities in the afternoon. The highlight of the camp for us, is the VBS program we will have every Monday morning. CELA has never had a VBS before so this is a new experience for everyone; one we hope will help the students know and understand Jesus more.

Because of our relaxed and shorter summer schedule, the few team Taiwan members who are here have been able to spent a lot of time in fellowship together. We have long dinners, watch movies, and go swimming at the local pool. There are only five of us here now but starting this week, more and more will be arriving.

Please keep Taiwan in your prayers. Ask God to bring our students to faith. Also pray for the administration at both CELA and CMS as many changes are being made this year that will add stress to everyone's days.

I will try to post a new story as often as possible, so keep reading!!!
