Well we have made it home safe and sound and hopefully chnaged in some ways forever. The internet went down again shortly after we got it back up which is why we were not able to update again from Taiwan.
The students did a great job of ministering in many different ways; Taking care of orphans, giving shoulder rubs at convelescent homes, cleaning up a thrift store for a ywam ministry, performing on the street and playing basketball to invite people to the cafe and share christ, joining with an international youth group, babysitting for missionaries there, attending a couple of different Taiwanese churches.
It’s always weird when we get back from an intense youth trip that that group will never be together again on this side of Heaven. One of the blessings for me is seeing God work not only in the lives of the people that we are ministering to but my students as well. On the airplane one student told me the story of how God had worked in her life during the trip. A couple of the students really came alive as they saw how their gifts could be used to further God’s kingdom. I think everyone was challenged to walk more closely with Christ and be more bold in their witness.
Thanks so much for praying for us.
Blessings,
Buddy
