Ephesians 3:19
Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God
We are back in Taiwan and the stark difference between the U.S. and here is always very bright when we first arrive. Not only do the smells, architecture, and temperature remind us where we are, but the reality of the depth in religious belief.
OK, I’ve had this post in a draft stage for way too long. All I really wanted to do is describe a guy that I remember at YWAM in Marshal, TX about 10 years ago that has always been an image of true praise to me.
Lana and I have had the pleasure of meeting Bill and Eve here in Taiwan.
Amongst their many fine traits (which include a passion for the kingdom, transcranial doppler ultrasonography expertise, spanish fluency, a love for motocross, physical assistant/nurse practioner certifications, hilarious ford festiva stories, and rhinocerous beete larvae caretaking - to name a few), they also have enriched our life experience with the following sweet quotes. I am a bit dissapointed because I didn’t start writing these down until the day before they left Taiwan, so only got a few from the conversations we had then…
“the frozen chosen” (as in lifeless church members)
“wrong as a football bat” (self explanatory
“hot as a two dollar pistol” (as in pretty lady)
“opera singing in a fire hose” (as in overwhelmed)
Quick post to let everyone know we made it to Taiwan safe and sound. We are setup in a great apartment that has room for Hans’ office, rooms for the kids and a great living room that could host a Bible study or alpha course.
The kids are amped about being here - the first day after we got here, Malachi said “ok, I think I’d like to live here now.” The community of local and expat believers have truly been family to us - with their welcoming smiles and consistent desire to help us get settled in - thanks all!
One of the things that both Lana and I have remarked about after one week here is that everyone we have talked to from overseas (wai guo de) is here on faith - they felt that God had them come here and are following His lead in their daily life to understand the further revelation of His will for their lives.
