A different perspective - my dad about Southern Taiwan University


On Wednesday we went to the college campus in Tainan. We met with Amanda and Lawrence, Campus Crusade workers, went with us as we talked to students. I talked to Maggie and Wanda and they invited Christ into their lives. Later, they came to where Nathan was playing music and met our group. As we were singing, we met Lawrence, an adjunct college professor and retired college president, who lived near Mike and Carolyn and wanted to meet with them later. He lives here and teaches, his wife lives in New Zealand, one son lives in Australia, and one son in New Zealand with his mom. Mike and Carolyn tell me that this is very common in Taiwan. I thought that this would make a very lonely life. Later, Jessica was praying and singing and a young man was sitting on the bench close to her. I started talking to him and found out his English name was Steve. He told me he liked being around Christians because he felt peace. I asked him if he had peace and he said, “Sometimes.” He knew some Christians from his college and liked being around them. I shared the gospel with him and how he can have peace and Steve invited Christ into his life.
