It is sometime after 3AM here in Taiwan. I’ve spent the last three hours sorting and uploading photos. I hope this post will be coherent.
First Taiwan Concert!
Sunday night at Alishan we put on our first official concert in Taiwan. The Tsou tribe went out door to door to invite people to come.
Church elders!
About 2/3 of the way into the set, some of the elders at the church came up to sing, and wow. They sure can sing.
Morning Devotion.
I’ve lost track of which morning this is. But we try our best to start each morning meditating on the Word of God.
Morning Devotion. In Taipei.
And here is our first morning devotion time in Taipei!
MRT
Here in Taipei, if you don’t have a car or a scooter, you got around on the Metro Rail Taipei, or MRT. Very similar to the BART. Except that there are four or five different lines that cross at different points, so if you wanted to get anywhere, most likely you were changing lines every so often. We’ve become very intimate with the MRT system.
Lunch with Dr. Yeh's family
We had the privilege of meeting up with Dr. Yeh, and had lunch with his family at the Grand Palace hotel. He took us on a tour of an outdoor garden and an escape tunnel (both restricted areas).
Worship at Dr. Yeh's small group
Dr. Yeh started a small group back in January 2011. The group now has over 70 regular members.
Reading from Genesis
They’re aiming for 100 members by the end of 2011…
Attentive attendees.
…and 1000 members by the end of 2012.
Practice at Dr. Yeh's small group.
We’ve been invited to play at the next meeting of the small group. Here we are, practicing.
James Young, drummer extraordinaire and film scorer
The gentleman who owns the company which hosts the small group is Mr. James Young. We met him, and found out his amazing life story. Professional drummer by the age of 15, endorsed by Pearl Drums (with his own line of drum sticks), scored over 600 films (one of which was Jurassic Park, during which he met Steven Spielberg). Oh, and a EE major and owner of a solar energy company, to boot.
Another morning devotion time.
Another morning devotion time. Hopefully with all these morning devotion photos, you’ll come to understand just how important it is to us to start the day with God’s Word.
Change Life Church, Taipei
Here we are at Change Life Church in Taipei, where we will be performing our second concert in Taiwan on Saturday, July 23rd.
Rehearsal at Change Life Church
We had a wonderful time rehearsing at Change Life tonight, accompanied by some awesome sound techs who made the night go by so much easier.
While we were rehearsing, the small groups at the church went out to hand out invitations to the concert. We spoke to the pastor, who is expecting at least 300 people to come to the concert, possibly up to 500. Please pray that all those who do not know Christ who come to the concert would be blessed, and that they would receiving Christ as their Savior. Pray that God would work through us.
