Taiwan Celebrates a New Website, Sabbath School Training, and a Church Plant

A reflection of recent developments in the Adventist Church in Taiwan.

Taiwan Conference Website Reconstruction

The Taiwan Conference website has been primarily serving Seventh-day Adventist church members since its establishment. However, the website's usage rate among church members is low and not fulfilling its intended function. Furthermore, it lacks the ability to reach out to non-Adventist populations for evangelism purposes.

Therefore, the team aims to reconstruct the Taiwan Conference website, improve the quality of services provided, and provide a platform for the cultivation of Taiwan Seventh-day Adventist Church members. Additionally, non-Adventist individuals can also use this platform to learn about the Gospel and get to know Jesus better.

Sabbath School Seminar

From January to March 2023, Sabbath School teacher training was conducted in four mission districts. The purpose was to train more qualified teachers who can lead the study of lessons in a lively, interesting way, enhance the interest of church members in the study of truth, and help build their spirituality.

Sabbath School has three aspects: the donation envelope, record card (roll call card), and minute book. It is important to propagate the use of these in local churches so the church can better grasp information about its size. This will enable the work of the Gospel to be effectively adjusted and changed, resulting in more effective church work overall.

Jinmen Church Planting Ministries

The focus for the first three quarters of 2023 is on developing the Jinmen ministry. Although the mission statement of the Taiwan Conference has expressed a desire to develop the Jinmen mission, various factors have hindered its implementation. However, in the second half of 2022, with the support of Taiwan Conference administration officers and the Personal Ministries department, the core participants began the Jinmen church planting ministry.

Currently, the Jinmen group meets online every Wednesday night with six participants. In mid-May 2023, the Taiwan Conference team will have visited the church members in Jinmen once again to discuss the rental of a house as a meeting place. May God guide and direct the team in all its endeavors to fulfill His will.
