• High School Outreach
  27/03/2007 9:00 am
  A Christian boy sits in front of his computer for eight hours a day; the heart of a 19-year old girl breaks because her 17-year old boyfriend with whom she had a sexual relationship didn’t want her any more; a beautiful young girl sits in a dark corner at home and cries because her parents seem to be only concerned about her grades at school, and Grandma wants to take her to the temple to pray for help. These are the stories of Christian young people in Taiwan whose lives are blessed because they know God. They struggle, but yet with hope. They have people who accompany them, pick them up when they are down, and minister to them the love and grace of God.
  
  But what about the thousands of young people who don’t belong to a Christian youth group? Taiwan has about 720,000 senior high schoolers, and there is a large number of young people who haven’t been able to make it into high school. They might work in little factories, hang around on the streets, or …….?
• Prayer Walking

  For more than one and a half years several OMF missionaries have been taking prayer walks around two schools in the Wanhua area of Taipei. We usually go out in pairs, starting at the Dali Elementary School, where we run a weekly club for kids at risk.
  
  We pray for the people living in Wanhua and for the churches that are there. When school is out, we stand at the entrance and say “hello” to the kids. It is amazing how many come running right into our arms and just want a hug!

  Where do people in Taiwan’s crowded cities go to relax on the weekend? Many people in Kaohsiung go to city parks, such as the cultural center park or the park around the art museum.
  
  About three years ago a number of our English-teaching OMF Partners noticed that there were many families with young children in these parks. They wondered if the children would like to color Bible story pictures and learn the stories.
  
  They do!

  Although Helen had impressed me as a particularly perceptive student in class discussions, she didn’t get very good grades. Like many working class people in Taiwan, she hadn’t developed the study skills necessary to succeed in school.
