Hi! Welcome to the blog for the Taiwan International Team. We'll be spending three weeks in Taiwan this July running an English camp at an elementary school and visiting OMF ministries in the capital city, Taipei. We're looking forward to getting involved in OMF's outreach to the Taiwanese working class and seeing how God can use us both in this mission field and in our long-term plans. Prayer is the most important aspect of any missionary work, and we would love to think that you'll join us in praying for our trip, for us as a team and, most importantly, for those that we will be meeting and sharing God's love with.
This blog will be updated regularly whilst we are in Taiwan with our news and specific prayer requests; for some more general prayer points and to find out a bit more about our team and what we'll be up to, follow the links under 'Taiwan International Team' to the left. If you want to find out more about Taiwan itself then check out the OMF Taiwan website .
Thanks for your prayers!

Each day, we start off with sitting by the children and playing games with them, and doing motions along with the songs we teach the kids. As silly as it looked for us to be doing the motions, it was really... -

The Elementary School and The Temple Visit
The Elementary School The last 3 days we've been at an elementary school in the Wanhua district of Taipei. We've been teaching English, singing songs, playing games and getting to know a group of kids from working class backgrounds.

We've spent the last few days getting to know each other and trying to adapt to the hot, humid climate. Praise God for air conditioning! Today is the second official day of our trip and thu...
