Dear faithful supporters,

We arrived back safely to our beloved home here in Taipei two weeks ago today. Upon returning, we dove right back into church life, leading our cell group, studying Chinese, and meeting new people. The Lord is giving us wonderful ministry opportunities, and we are very excited to see the great things He is going to do in 2010!

Prayer Requests:

• In our last update we asked for prayer that we be accepted to the new language school we were applying to for our next season of study. Praise Him that we’ve already been accepted! We have been informed that this school offers a generous scholarship to new students, so please pray if it’s His will one or both of us can receive this scholarship for our studies, as it would be a great help to us financially.
• In 2 weeks, Taiwan will celebrate the Chinese New Year. This is the biggest celebration time of the year, so please pray for our Taiwanese brothers/sisters who will spend extended time with their family members (mostly unsaved), to be a light among the darkness. We’ve also been invited to some friends’ homes, so pray for us to be examples of Christ’s love as well.
• Please pray for our monthly support need of $500 to be met.

Praises:

• As stated above, we were accepted (in the span of 2 days!) to our new language school!
• Recently, a young couple from England moved to Taipei as teachers and to join our ministry in Truth Church. Praise the Lord for these new co-workers and friends!
• Last week we attended a 5 day conference at our church on the Book of Isaiah. It was taught by a Messianic Jew from Israel, and was very enlightening and enriching!

Our prayer is that each of you may know and be filled with the peace and love of Christ every day! Thank you for your partnership in establishing the Kingdom of God around the world.

For the Glory of God,

Erich and Kelley Schindler
