We both feel that we as missionaries also need to repent. These precious people are so willing to respond to the gospel, but have had no one in the last forty or more years to tell them the good news of Jesus Christ. Studies have shown that this central area of Taiwan is one of the most unevangelized areas of the island, but we had not been there before now. In this entire township there was only one small church. Now three cell groups have been established, provided with leadership, classes set up at the Presbyterian church, and people are moving into other unreached areas.
Some parts are more mountainous and spread out.
We praise the Lord for his faithfulness in quickly providing co-workers to minister there. Four churches from Taipei, Taichung, Keelung, and Kaohsiung have formed a committee to work in cooperation with the CCRA to minister in this seven-village area. Other Chinese churches across the island have also continued to support the ministry. In cooperation with local leaders and the Puli Christian hospital, plans are already underway to establish a medical clinic for the people. Previously no medical help was available in the area.
