BDTW - Day 8 - Dashe

Everyone went home the night before. Today, about half of the team went to Dashe to have a night with the youth. We worked with their praise team and with our reduced team, we performed our skits and music as well. We also had a couple of testimonies shared (one from a foreigner and one from Taiwan). It was a little sad to this group of youth in need of direction and a leader to help feed them the Word.

We met a man from the New Zealand army as well who recently came to Taiwan. He's not a believer but we hope to be able to reach out to him in future Bible studies. Please pray for him that God will open his heart to be receptive to the Gospel.

The youth does not have many opportunities to pray with each other and think about their faith so we used the night to create groups to talk freely about where they stand with God. We challenged them with the question, "Who are you and what's your identity?" We hope that everyone re-thinks who they think they are and find themselves secure in knowing that they are created by God to be sons and daughters of God.

Afterward, we had dinner with the college praise team from the church. Please pray for leaders to rise up within Jhiacheng Church to lead the youth. This concludes the 8 day trip around Taiwan and everyone's sad to part and we've had many experiences. In only a short-time, we've learned so much and got to see how much God loves the country of Taiwan. We hope that this trip will continue on next year! Our members will be posting reflections and thoughts throughout the week so please check back this blog to hear their points of views about Taiwan.
