December Mission Trip Completed in Taiwan (Continued)

On Dec. 2nd, Sam, Eta, and I headed for Taichung for our second stop in Taiwan. The next day, Stan Stockton, one of our elders at the Schertz church arrived in Taiwan. I went to meet him and bring him to Taichung.

Sam had returned to Taiwan for the first time in thirty-three years to sightsee and also to attend the Annual Taichung Lectureship. Stan came back to Taiwan for the first time in twenty-five years and would be delivering two lessons for the lectureship. I would translate for him.

Sam did a lot more sightseeing than the rest of us. Both Eta and I got sick in Taichung, so that curtailed some of our activities. But when the lectureship began, I was back to almost normal. Eta spent another day getting over her illness. We both visited the doctor to get medicine to help.

The lectureship began on Friday night with two lessons, then there were eight lessons on Saturday. One of those lessons was delivered by Stan with my translation. I also translated the PPT charts for both of his lessons.

On Sunday, Stan spoke and I translated for him. It was good to be back in Taichung. We had not been there in two years. On the Tuesday after the lectureship, Stan and Sam headed back to the states, while Eta and I headed for Hualien.

I spoke seven times in Hualien, which included a gospel meeting. We always enjoy our visits with the brethren in Hualien. Through the years, I have been there more than 50 times. We were able to have fellowship with the brethren and teach private Bible studies in addition to the lessons. Be sure to check out our pictures on my Facebook page.

We look forward to another Taiwan trip at the end of 2026.

******************

Looking Ahead To 2026

  We are scheduled to return to the states on January 8, 2026.

  Please continue to pray for all of our efforts among the Chinese people in Southeast Asia, whether we are in Asia or the states.

***************

We continue to be thankful for all of your prayers and support as we strive to work among English and Chinese speaking people around the world.

It is because of your support that we are able to continue our work among the Chinese people in Asia and other parts of the world. We could not do it without you.

This is the time of year when congregations will decide their budgets for 2026. If you can include us in your budget, it would be a great help and blessing to us and the work. We are always looking for faithful brethren interested in helping our work among the Chinese people.

November Activities

  Forty-three years ago this month, we made the momentous move to Taiwan, to begin a life-long work among Chinese speaking people. Forty years ago this month, I begin my first short-term mission trip to Thailand, Pakistan, Singapore, and Malaysia. This current trip is my 86th short-term mission trip that carried Eta and I to Singapore and Taiwan.

 We are thankful for all of the support and prayers we have received through the years in these efforts. May the Lord continue to bless all of us as we continue His work around the world.

****************

Current Mission Trip

  Since our return to Asia at the end of October, near the end of November, we have traveled to Singapore to attend a couple of days of the Four Seas College Lectureship, where I delivered some items from the Schertz congregation to both the English and Chinese schools there. I also had the privilege to teach my Chinese students, in person, at the Jurong church building. Normally, I teach my classes on-line.

It was great to be with brethren who had come from Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, China, and the USA to attend the lectureship this year.

We departed Singapore on November 29th to head to Taiwan for our activities there from Nov. 30th to Dec. 16th. We first arrived in Taipei to meet with the brethren there on the last Sunday (the last day of the month) in Nov. Our son, Samuel, has also come to Taiwan for eleven days of sightseeing. He led the singing in Taipei for the worship services. His first trip to Taiwan in 33 years.

  On Dec. 2nd, Sam, Eta, and I headed for Taichung for our second stop in Taiwan. In our December report, we will talk about our time in Taichung and Hualien. We will also talk about Stan Stockton joining us in Taichung.
