Greetings from Team Taiwan!

The Galilee children’s camp has gotten better every day, and I’m very proud of how our team has risen to the occasion to love and minister to these children. Many of them are not from church homes, and this is a unique opportunity for them to hear the Gospel. In addition, our team has performed work projects clearing the vacant land next to the church. We’ve also cleared land on prayer mountain beyond in Fulong and today, our final workday, we plan to do land clearing at the Joshi church location about 40 minutes from here.

The top administrator of the Aodi community came to visit the team while they were working on Wednesday and was impressed with their effort and thanked the team. He then sent city workers to come with trucks to help clear the debris the team had collected. The city workers quickly bonded with the team and wanted to have a picture taken with us. The next day, one of the city workers sent a gift of cool fruit drink for the team that was working. We pray that this has opened doors with other local community members to be receptive to the gospel and come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We don’t have space or time to list how many answers to prayer we have seen and moments of sovereign protection because of your prayers for our team this summer. We want to express our things both to the Lord, and to all of the families, Sponsor’s, and prayer partners that have made this summer a success. To God be the glory!

We plan to have a special celebration tonight with a NETCA staff and hope to hear testimonies from our host, missionaries, Richard and Jesse.

We expect to depart on the bus Saturday morning at 5 AM for the airport and our long flight ?? back home! (We plan to give the team members an opportunity to call home from the airport, so please accept any calls from the Leaders phones which will be area code 321!)

Here are some words from our team members & Noah!

Micah: This trip has been really good. I am so glad I came on this trip

These last three weeks have been a crazy roller coaster full of adventure, and just like my last years mission trip, God has not failed to teach us his Word, and grow each one of us more in the likeness of his Son. Once again, I find myself at the end of an amazing missions trip, and a summer well spent. I am not looking forward to leaving because the team feels like family and I am going to miss them all.

Isaiah: Our time in Taiwan has been amazing. God has shown all of us His glory. We have seen seeds, planted, and seeds watered. We have had fun times and somber times, but God has been faithful through it all. All I know is this trip has impacted Taiwan eternally! God will continue to do mighty works in this country. Psalm 86:9 “All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you know Lord and she’ll glorify your name.“

Arianna: My time in Taiwan has been eye-opening and has taught me that not even a language barrier or coming from a different background can stand between the love that our brothers and sisters through Christ have shown us. I will miss them greatly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me how I should love others the way that God intended.
