Dear faithful supporters,

Greetings from the rainy, windy, city of Taipei! As you may have heard, Taiwan was hit with a typhoon this past weekend, but thankfully it has now passed. Since our arrival late Friday night, we have been overcoming jet lag, apartment searching, and reconnecting with people at church and 3E.

Prayer Requests:

• We are looking at two more apartments today- please pray we find the right one quickly, as we have guests from Germany arriving next week.
• Pray for unity among our multi-national leadership team for 3E. The next six weeks will be spent re-structuring our outreach for the Fall season. Our goal is to reach out to Seekers in a more focused way.

Praises:

• Our travels to Taipei were uneventful and safe. Also, we are thankful for protection during the recent typhoon. Thanks to all of you who showed concern for us!
• Today we celebrate three years of marital bliss :-) Thanks to the Lord for the way He has led us as a couple, and continues to grow us together.

Many of you have mentioned that you would enjoy more frequent updates in a blog format. So, we have created a ministry blog, which we will update weekly with pictures and short life updates. You can find it at: www.crossing7.com/reachtaiwan. Enjoy and feel free to leave us a comment.

May God continue to bless you as we serve Him together!

For the Glory of God,
Erich and Kelley Schindler
