After the church is going strong, we hope to see more ministry opportunities grow.  First, we plan to organize and take short term mission trips with our members.  Second, we plan to start satellite churches as soon as possible to reach out to the English speakers in the rural areas of Taiwan who have no English congregation available to them.  These two projects will begin within the first few years of our church.

 

 

However, we have dreams that go beyond these first few years as well.  These are just dreams at the moment, but we feel they are from the Lord.  It may be many years before these are completely developed and begun, but we would appreciate your prayers even now about these items.

 

Instruments of Peace - This would be a choir, orchestra, and dance team who would minister within our church and throughout Taiwan and Asia.  God has given Terrie a passion for creative arts ministry, and she wants to see this develop as a part of that.  The orchestra would include instrumentalists who play the usual orchestral instruments, but it would also include traditional instruments from Asia and possibly other parts of the world. 

 

Agape Christian School - Taiwan needs more Christian education, but there are limitations as to what the government will allow.  So, please pray that doors will be opened in God's timing.  Eventually, we picture this becoming a full school from K-12th grades offering bi-lingual Christian education with an emphasis in technology and the arts.  Instruction will be favorable to students who learn in different ways than the traditional way.  ADD/ADHD/Asperger's kids will benefit from a creative learning environment that is structured, but allows them to shine in their areas of strength.  Other special needs kids may also do well in a school that emphasizes technology and the arts.  The need is great for this type of education where children can flourish in their areas of strength.

 

Sending Out MIssionaries and Business People for Specific Ministries - Eventually, when we are able, we hope to help sponsor those who through their businesses go into closed areas with the Gospel.  We hope to provide materials and help with the work they will do.

 

Please begin praying now for these ministry items in addition to the starting of the church.  Thank you so much!
