Traversing Taiwan on the HSR
The members of TeamTaiwan would be hard pressed to stay connected if it were not for the HSR (High Speed Rail) completed in 2007 at a cost of $18 billion USD.
As we visited with each of the 4 couples and 3 singles that make up this field, we zipped from Taipei in the north, to Taichung City in the center and to Kaohsiung in the south at speeds up to 180 mph. We debriefed Christian workers with a special burden for the least reached poor of Taiwan's more rural areas. We spent quality time with families and singles in their homes.
We also had a team building session with two couples intent on developing an outreach to the poor in the south of the country.
Thank you for your prayers for us on this extended trip. We'll share more on the continuation of this trip to the Philippines in our next update.
Prayer Requests:
1. Pray for us as we return to Thailand April 11 and prepare for our 2 month furlough in the US. We have a lot of loose ends to pull together before our April 15 departure.
2. Pray for us as we interact with our aging parents on our return. Alberta's mom's dementia has increased and Steve's dad is struggling with the isolation he feels living in a senior residence in North Dakota.
3. Pray for new donors to pick up the slack in our financial support as it goes through the normal ebb and flow of change.
4. Pray for Heather and Krista as the play they have been working hard directing starts on April 9 and runs thru the 19th. We have reservations for the April 18th performance!
