I can't believe that the end of February is here. And in two days, I will be getting on a plane in Rochester and heading for Taiwan, where I will spend more than a week with a team of 4 others helping some missionaries by doing whatever they would like us to do. I'm excited to experience a culture that is totally foreign to me, and excited to see just a small glimpse of what it means to become all things to all people in Taiwan. I'm also excited to find out what it looks like to use the things familiar to those in Taiwan to communicate the Gospel in Taiwan in a way that connects. I have no idea what that looks like over there. I'm still trying to figure out what that looks like here.
It's all a little intimidating, but I know God is going to do great things in and through us and in the hearts of those we encounter. I'm praying God will soften hearts to the Gospel of Jesus, and that communication barriers will not be a problem. I'm praying that the Millers, the missionaries we are going over there to help, will be encouraged and helped in whatever ways they need while we are over there. I'm praying God will stretch me in ways I am uncomfortable being stretched, reminding me of my total dependence on Him. And I'm praying that I leave Taiwan with a bigger view of the Jesus and the Gospel than I had before my trip.
I would appreciate all your prayers for myself, my dad Bob, my sister Jessica, Mike, and Rebekah. I will try and update my blog while across the Pacific so that you all can see what is going on and how to specifically pray for us. Thanks so much!
