History

We visited the National Museum of Taiwan History. It was a fascinating experience. Among the exhibits was the photo above. We were surprised to see this reference to Christianity, as that is not a major religion in Taiwan.

The Bible is in the Taiwanese (Minnan) dialect, but is unique in that it is the “romanized version.” The Taiwanese dialect is used in daily life by a large percentage of the people in Taiwan. It is the language we hear most frequently in the area where we live.

The explanation attached to the exhibit mentions some of the historical struggles that the church had as it attempted to provide the Bible in the language of the masses.

Please pray that God will work to make His truth available to everyone in Taiwan, and that those with open hearts will be willing to bravely accept Him as Saviour.

Praise and Prayer

  • The Baozhong Alliance Church held a congregational meeting on Sunday, September 14. Pastor Joshua reported the ministry plans for 2026 and the budget was discussed and accepted. Please pray that God will use the efforts of this small church to influence its community. Please continue to pray for more people to be added to the church family.
  • Please pray that friends from the community will accept the invitation to join the Mid-Autumn Festival BBQ on September 28. The hope is that this activity will help people to overcome their wariness of attending church-sponsored events.
