Dear faithful supporters,

Greetings from Taiwan! It seems like just yesterday we were writing our monthly update for April, and now we have already entered into May- how quickly time flies! Our days and weeks continue to be busy and there is hardly ever a dull moment.  The month of April was full of learning, building relationships, rain, several earthquakes, eleven new  believers baptized at Truth Church, and a deepening gratitude to the Lord for allowing us to serve Him on this island!

Prayer Requests:

• Beginning tomorrow we will have house guests on-and-off through August. Some are believers from other countries visiting Taiwan, some are new teachers/missionaries moving here who will live with us temporarily, and some are family members coming to visit. Pray we can manage our schedules well with extra people in the house, and that our time with them is a mutual blessing.  
• Please pray as we are in the process of praying/brainstorming for new ministry avenues at Truth Church that we can get new team members arriving this summer plugged into. Pray for wisdom and clear direction from God. 
• Please pray for our monthly support need of $400 to be met.

Praises:

• We just returned from a 2 day outing with all the co-workers and Seekers from our Bilingual Alpha Course. Total there were about 60 people that participated. Praise for the working of the Holy Spirit in many people’s lives, and pray that hearts continue to be open to the Lord. Also, praise, that Kelley was able to use her Chinese and serve as a translator for one of the services- first time ever!
• Praise the Lord for His daily protection, faithfulness, and wisdom. We are so thankful to serve such a powerful and awesome God!

Our prayer: Ephesians 3:20-21 ^“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.”

Many thanks to all of you for your ongoing prayers, love, and support! 

For the Glory of God,
Erich and Kelley Schindler
