Answer to Prayer
Church growth among migrant workers in the last 15 years has been quite remarkable. Among Filipinos, Thais, Indonesians, Vietnamese and others, many are coming to faith in Jesus. This is happening through collaboration between Taiwanese and expat ministries, which is itself praiseworthy for the unity and cooperation demonstrated.
Challenge for Prayer
A history of alleged deep-seated corruption in the political realm has persisted through much of the Kuomintang’s (Chinese Nationalist Party) rule and has extended to other parties as well. Now, connections to gangsters and “black gold” (corrupt money) have been replaced with high-profile public campaigns against corruption. Pray that such campaigns would be allowed to be fully successful; pray for openness and honesty to characterize the present and future leaders of Taiwan.
