Short-term Missions Trip
Christmas Outreach (Taiwan)
Hakka people group is perceived as ‘hard land’ for the evangelists; there is less than 0.3% Christian among 4 million Hakka populations in Taiwan. There is no growth in the percentage of Christian population among the Hakka for decades. Our vision is to make a change to this statistic!
This outreach has three core purposes:
1. To challenge participants in their personal growth and purpose in life by actively experiencing missions in Taiwan.
2. To broadly reach out to the Taiwanese Hakka people and tell them about Jesus.
3. To encourage existing Hakka Christians to get more involved in active ministry.
This is a great opportunity for those people with a heart for Taiwan and a desire to use their God-given talents in literature distribution and creative ministry to the Taiwanese. It is also a meaningful time to meet the needy and disadvantaged minority, to warmth their hearts with God’s love.
The outreach will consist of daily morning fellowship, literature distribution, street evangelism, friendship evangelism and creative outreach through Christmas caroling, Christmas celebration with drama, cross cultural presentation and testimony sharing.
OM Taiwan is looking for people that love Jesus and have a desire to share the Gospel. No previous experience is necessary as some coaching will be provided. The team language is English and Chinese.
