Taiwan Journal

Saturday 2nd October 2010


I arrived in Taiwan on Thursday night, after a day with friends in Hong Kong. It was exciting to see the work they're involved in providing aid for those who need it most and to see the challenges that come from living and working in such a close community. The weather here is not as hot as it was in the summer, but you still appreciate the aircon. In a few hours time I will leave for the field conference with some of the other short term workers. Our role for the week will be to run the programme for the teenagers, specifically the 15-18s. We already have some fun trips planned for the afternoons, including a trip to a waterpark on Monday, I have my swimming hat ready (the buying of which I hope never to have to do again!). Alongside a worker called Aaron, I have respinsibility for leading the Bible sessions on Tues/Wed/Thurs on the theme of growth. We will be looking at how the Lord uses different means to grow us, like his Word, prayer, fellowship etc. Pray that we are able to work together as a team and really serve the needs of these young people. Also pray that missionaries will be refreshed and strengthened in their work as a result of this week.

I will now be without internet access until I return so no update for a while!
