Not So Deep Thoughts From Taiwan

I'm sitting in a small room that's bustling with energy. It's actually a karaoke bar that's being set up for an evening worship service for the House of Hakka - a new church plant in Fenglin,
Taiwan. Next to me is a lady who's working on her keyboard trying to get it working to accompany the singing. To my right is my co-worker and friend, Michael Butler, High School pastor at Council Road Baptist.

Fourteen people from Council Road have traveled to meet the rest of the team for this week's mission effort in this small, rural town. There are some from California, one person from New Mexico, some from All Nations Church (an international church plant at NW Baptist, OKC), as well as a large group from various places in Taiwan.

The thunder rumbles outside, the clouds hang gray and pregnant hiding the tops of the mountains. We're sure to get wet soon. We've been told that a typhoon is on it's way this Tuesday. We pray not.

Why are we here? To spread the knowledge of the glory of God revealed in Jesus to those blinded to the truth. Some will be teaching the elderly English, others will visit the prison, we'll prayer walk, and, we'll by God's grace have a Middle School camp for about 70 kids.

Pray that many seeds will be planted and that God will be glorified. We so want to be with the new worshippers God will raise up on that great day of praise around the throne of the Lamb.

To His praise and glory forever.
