Many businesses in Taipei worship gods, ghosts and ancestors every full moon and new moon in hopes of getting good luck and preventing spiritual powers from harming their business.
An evangelistic ministry based out of Taipei called "From Doubting to Believing" has their main office in a district of Taipei similar to Manhattan's SoHo district. They do not do crusades like Billy Graham did. Rather they work one-on-one and in small classes of people introduced by their friends or family members. These classes are very professionally done and give a more in depth presentation of the Gospel, the Bible and basic Christianity. Lesson Seven uses Judy's testimony. This material was first developed by the wife of a business executive of the food company: Quaker Taiwan.
Presenting Lesson 7, Judy's testimony.

He is starting a church in the southern city of Kaohsiung in south Taiwan. Kaohsiung is also where our colleague Eric Pilson is doing language study and preparing for future church planting work. We are trying to recruit more missionaries to move to south Taiwan and work with the Pilsons. Please also pray for some Taiwanese coworkers.
