Pictured above is the very first day of teaching. I had the privilege of teaching Bible Overview and the Inductive Method Overview to our class of 28 amazing students. They have been here only a few days, and already the staff are thrilled by the interaction we see from them.
As we prayed for the school, the staff felt that God was speaking the theme of 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. This passage talks about the fact that as believers, we are a New Creation! And as such, it is our job to take the good news as ambassadors for Christ and reconcile the world to God. We were really excited to see that God was placing a heart of evangelism over us as a school. Our heart is to search the Scriptures to know Him, so that we can represent Him well to a lost and dying world.
Our Campus is in the middle of a frontier mission field. There are Buddhist temples all around us, including right down the alley from the apartment that I live in. Click on the link below to watch a short clip of what it looks like to be involved with YWAM Taipei, right here in Danshui.

Pray for us as a school as we enter an intensive inductive study of the Bible for 9 months. Running this school in the middle of a nation that is only 2% Christian is spiritual warfare in itself. Pray that we would tangibly sense the grace of the Lord in our school, and that we would encounter people who are ready to hear the Gospel when we are outside of the classroom!
Pray for the missionaries here - there is a growing desire to see more people reached for the Kingdom of God, and we need to seize the opportunities given to share the gospel.
Pray for the lost - for a softening of their hearts to receive Christ.
Luke 10:2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
