Taiwan: Sports & English Camp ends

The Sports & English camp ended yesterday (Saturday, July 19th) on a high note.
There were 13 decisions for Christ with 7 of those being baptized yesterday morning before we left Morrison Christian Academy.
The Lord held the storms off just long enough for us to get all the baptisms in without rain.
We had a few less decisions than our last trip (2006), but still a good number and we praise the Lord for each of them.
In two years that Teen Mission has been involved with this project, we've seen nearly 50 decisions for Christ and 22 baptisms!
I can't think of any other short-term project that has yielded as much "fruit."

After camp, we cleaned up and left for the Atkin's home here in Taichung.
They took us to a pretty cool restaurant last night. You had a grill in front of you to cook your own meats. It was a neat concept.
It was nice to have a little down time after several straight busy days.

This morning (Sunday, July 20th) we worshiped here at Come Christian Church. The church meets in ground floor of the Atkin's home.
David and Brenda moved here a few years ago to plant this church.
We had lunch with several of the church people after services.
They were really nice folks. One of them was a young lady (named Jamie) who is entered in Miss Taiwan beauty pageant. If she wins that, she'll go to the Miss World contest.
Another couple of people (Chuck and Hope) thought I looked like a movie star (Matthew Perry; Chandler from Friends). I told them I was flattered, but thought they needed to get new glasses.

This afternoon, we're going to the All-Star game of the Chinese Professional Baseball League played here in Taichung at their fairly new baseball stadium.
We're pretty excited about it.

Vacation Bible School with the Come Christian Church will begin tomorrow (Monday, July 21st).
We'll be leaving on Wednesday, July 23rd.

God bless,
