Taiwan Missionary Fellowship has posted some current church statistics on their website. Click the graphic below to be take to their website for the information.
The interesting thing about the graphic is that the most heavily populated part of the island is also the least evangelized.

Fun Holiday

As I said a few posts ago, we are in the middle of a holiday - Dragon Boat Festival. Fran & I have played hard these last two days and I’ll write about it tomorrow or the next day. However, I am tired and headed for the cloud (our bed). Here is this weeks Foto Friday:

The Finish Line - Blue wins!

While our family and friends in America will be enjoying the Monday holiday, Memorial Day, we will be stuck at work. Don’t feel too sorry for us though - we get Thursday & Friday off for our own holiday . . . .

Childhood memories

Jackie — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 05:10:49 +0000

Yesterday, Fran and I had a lunch date. We don’t often meet on a weekday for lunch - but yesterday we did. She rode the subway to the part of town near where I work. After she got back above ground and called me, we met at one of the few Western restaurants in the area for a lunch of good hamburgers. After the lunch we took care of the real reason for the date . . . getting a phone number blocked so that she would no longer receive daily Chinese messages selling who knows what. They come from the phone company so the only way to block them is to take your passport to their office (to prove you are who you say you are) and make the request. Success! She will no longer be pestered by unreadable daily text messages on her phone.

What in the world does that have to do with Childhood memories? . . . .

After leaving the phone company office we saw a sign at an adjacent building that cause us both to do a double take:

I don't know about you, but I rarely have childhood memories of shredded sweet potatoes

I got a late Christmas present in the mail this week. It cost me $37.

The traffic cameras in Taipei caught me. You almost never see a policeman - especially one enforcing traffic laws. I was caught on camera traveling 65 KPH in a 50 KPM zone. For those not on the metric system, it’s not as bad as it sounds. That converts to roughly 40 MPH in a 30 MPH zone.

We just sent out a newsletter* that talked little bit about our involvement in the Taipei Franklin Graham Festival. It also contained a few prayer requests. Since sending the newsletter Fran ran across this article. We think you’ll find it interesting.

Just wanted to let anyone who was wondering . . . we survived Super Typhoon Jangmi. For us it wasn’t too bad. We stayed inside and avoided the really high winds and torrential rains.
The temperatures have come down and there is no rain in the forecast for tomorrow - YEAH!
