and the choir from FBC of Fair Oaks, CA.We also took a team to Venezuela. Dave went to China and India as well during those seven years. When we left in 2006, there were several of us praying about other trips. We hope we will get to go on those trips. Short term trips are a vital part of the ministry to which we’re called.
4) Ministry and Family Budget: Because we are independent with only the moral support from IMB (International Missions Board of the SBC) missionaries, we are working as teachers this year while starting the new work. However, our desire is to be full time in ministry beginning in fall of 2009. Ideally, we would love for our children to attend the local missionary school. That will require a large amount of money, so we are prepared to continue home schooling and plan to homeschool all four children for 2009-2010. We will be making some salary from the ministry here, but we will need extra money to afford to live. We are seeking to raise around $1500 USD per month from August 2009. This will be used to help pay for plane tickets, insurance, housing, and if possible help with putting kids in school.
5) Teams: We have four teams – two prayer teams, a financial support team, and a church start team. You can be part of one or all of these helping with the work in Taipei. We want to have two prayer teams – one praying daily for the ministry and family needs, and one that will specifically commit to pray daily for our children and their education. Their
