Taiwan!

Our four weeks is Taiwan were spent leading kids camps, English teaching, sharing the gospel at The Rock Cafe, building relationships at Danshui University basketball courts as well as a few trips to the beach! Jules and I made it through a three hour SBS lecture on Deuteronomy, which was awesome! All the students gradually sneaked out one by one, no endurance! The YWAM base has an awesome feel to it, everyone is really welcoming and friendly, not at all linked to the competition on who can recruit the most DTS students! The Taiwanese people were really hospitable and most of them were eager to practise their English so conversation was plentiful. Here are some pictures of our time on and off the court...

Teaching Kids a lay-up drill in Tainan - The South of Taiwan. It was about a 5 hour journey on the coach. This week was one of the hardest workwise for the sports team but so rewarding. We shared the gospel and personal testimonies of how God has worked in our lives and the kids responded really well. From shyness and barely wanting to talk to us to laughs and tears by the ends, we saw lives touched in just a few days. The church who set up the camp were really encouraged and are setting up a youth ministry off the back of this week. So awesome to see God working in all of the students lives and them stepping out for him and I can't wait to see a repeat next year!
