Deanna and Calive Made it Safely [Calvin]

I was very nervous and excited on the way here. Asking myself, what am I going to experince? How am I going to understand anyone? How am I going to spend a 24 hour trip with deanna?! Everyone was also madly worried about us traveling alone. (Arthur and Josh exspecially)We first took a plane ride to Japan for a transfer flight, and then things started to get worse, as we might have to expereince a 5 hour u-bus ride from Taipei to Kaohsiung. That fear became a reality. By the time we got to the church it was already 4:00 am, and everyone was sleeping.

Three days has passed since i'ved arrived in Taiwan, and this is also my first time here. The first day we went to Cao Ya and the time there was amazing. The kids were really friendly, and the time we spent in worship and in bible study was really encouraging. The only problem was the language barrier that hindered my from connecting with the kids. The whole day was really exhausting since I only had a few hours of sleep, but at The prayer furnace i was refreshed to see the Cao Ya youths praisingand worshipping God. I felt that they really felt the spirit before they left home for that night.

The next day we opened up with a devotion and worship. As we head out for another day of english camp, we prepared for the skits and the craft. The group grew even bigger, as more new faces were coming in. The kids were very lively and fun, and i knew they were curious for God.

For me i felt that some of the kids were felt akward to be here. Please pray that even if there parents make them come, or they come out of there own will that they we feel God, and that there curiosity will lead to a yearning for God. Please pray for the language barrier i have to overcome, and please pray that i will always keep in mind of His plan.

  1. Pray that God will help you overcome the language barrier guys. Calvin, welcome to Taiwan. It will be hard to warm up to at first, but by the end of the trip I guarantee you wont want to leave. God bless.
