Taiwan: Typhoon hits Taichung

We awoke early on Friday morning to the sounds of wind and rain.
A typhoon had come ashore and was hitting the city of Taichung with lots of rain.
The city received a foot of water between midnight and 8 am on Friday morning.
I went out in a car with David Atkin looking to buy some rain ponchos.
Several city streets were flooded with water several feet deep.
Back at the camp, the girls sleeping in the lower gym here at Morrison Christian Academy had to be moved to one side of the gym as the water began coming in and flooding the floor.
We had a difficult time, but were able to transport the campers between buildings this morning by using vans.
The area between buildings looked like a lake as water began to back up.
All of the outdoor activities (sports classes) were cancelled and most of the day's programing moved to the auditorium.
I was disappointed as I was looking forward to one more day with the baseball group.

We're praying the distraction of the rain will not take away from the real focus of the week: introducing the kids to Jesus Christ.

Ted Skiles (a missionary here in Taiwan since 1969) will be bringing the evening message and offering an invitation.

Camp will end tomorrow morning.

God bless,
