I spent one morning back in September listening to Ed Stetzer speak about the Emerging Church. Follow this link to a website where he talks about his trip to Taiwan.

Below are a couple of good videos from that trip.

The first is a great explanation of religion in Taiwan.

The second is an interview he had with a Taipei worker.

Just a quick note to let you know I put a few pics on Flickr. The day I arrived for training I was able to spend 4 hours in town before I took a train to the town where the training takes place. I’ll add to them and give them captions later. I had a lot of fun in four short hours. More later!

Next week I (Jackie) will be on the road again. This time however it is to a new destination. London!

I’ve never been to that part of the world and am pretty excited. There will be a few days training and then a few days of vacation. I’ve been doing research into the most well known places so that I can prioritize and see as many sights as possible. Fran will stay behind this time. It was mainly the prospect of cold that made the decision – but, that coupled with $$$ and time away from ministry caused her to decide to not go this time.

If you have any advice or tips I’d love to hear them!

Taipei Franklin Graham Festival
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.
