• The Life of a High School Student
  23/05/2009 9:00 am
  Any weekday at 5:00 pm you’ll see a stream of 2~3,000 uniformed students pouring out of every junior and senior high gate. At 9:30 pm streets are crowded with cars, motorbikes and parents waiting to collect their offspring from cram schools. Upon arriving home, they complete homework, shower and crawl into bed around midnight to be awakened at 6:00 am to catch the 6:30 am bus back to school. Everyone must be in places by 7:30 am. Weekends and “vacations” offer students more cram school opportunities plus the inevitable tests and exams. Such is the life of Taiwan’s teenagers in their last 6 years of school life.

• Outreach to Vietnamese wives - and their families
  17/02/2009 9:00 am
  Mr Zhang is a Taiwanese working class man with a Vietnamese wife and a small child. We met this family while his wife came to Chinese class after she arrived to Taiwan. After one couples group he invited us to his house for tea. Before leaving he allowed us to pray for him and his family. When asked if he would like to become a Christian, he replied, “it takes time”...
• Released...?
  21/01/2009 9:00 am
  It isn't just unfortunate circumstances after release that bring 75 – 80% of the teenaged boys back to the Reformatory. Verbal and physical abuse in their families, hatred and self-contempt are often their enemy. How can they respect others when they don’t see any worth in themselves? How can they accept others when they have experienced so much rejection? How can they love, when they are full of hatred? How we long to see the power of the gospel at work in these boys' lives.
• Chiayi Park Outreach
  28/10/2008 9:00 am
  Smack in the middle of one of the largest open-air markets in Chiayi is a little park. It’s quite dusty with little grass to speak of. You’ll often find some older folks sitting on broken-down furniture playing various gambling games on one side of the park, while kids play on the play equipment on the other side. About a year ago we decided to begin a kids outreach program in the park.
• Gospel Tea Parties
  28/10/2008 9:00 am
  The home is an ideal place for evangelism. Relatives and friends may have been to the home and are familiar with it. It is a non-threatening place. They know how to behave in a home. (They would not feel so comfortable in a church.) A home is a cozy place where one relaxes. Inviting friends to a home gives it a personal touch without religious connotation.
• AIDS, Drugs and Prison
  28/08/2008 9:00 am
  Ministering among Taiwan’s people who have HIV/AIDS is very different from when I began fourteen years ago. Today more and more women are being found to be HIV-positive. Drug addicts share needles when “shooting up” and get infected. More HIV-positive men and women land in prison, and HIV-positive drug addicted women deliver babies that they are unable to look after...
• Youth Outreach in Chiayi
  28/08/2008 9:00 am
  A thriving youth ministry has appeared in Chiayi. Three months ago it did not exist. A large downtown building was given to OMF. A short-term team spent two weeks helping. And now there are 30-50 students turning up each week!
• Let the Children Come
  30/08/2008 9:00 am
  I feel deep joy when I watch the faces of a hundred little people, mostly from homes where Jesus is not known, singing praises to Him and listening attentively to His Word. Can anything be more joyful than watching a child respond to the love of Jesus?
