Greetings from Wheaton, IL!

Our travels have now brought us to the Mid-West where we will spend the next 2 ½ weeks traveling between Wheaton, IL and Milwaukee, WI. Our time will be spent finalizing visa documents needed for Taiwan, visiting churches, and enjoying time with friends and family.

As we prepare to return to Taiwan for long-term missionary service, we again want to thank all of you who have been faithfully praying for us. The Lord has been so good to guide us each step of the way, and we have no doubt that He will continue revealing His plan for us step by step.

As you pray for us here are some specifics:

• Over the last couple of months we have been praying for committed supporters to partner with us both prayerfully and financially. As stated in previous emails, we need to raise $2, 300 in monthly support for the upcoming year. To date, we have approximately 30% of our monthly support raised. However, this is all from individuals, as we are still waiting for pledged church support to come through.

Our prayer is that people will realize that giving even $10 a month is a huge blessing. For example, just $10 US dollars will allow us to spend 3-4 meals building friendships and witnessing to Taiwanese seekers!

• Pray that all our visa documents arrive on time and that we find favor in the eyes of the Taiwanese government officials.

We want to remind you that we do have a ministry website up and running on which you can find information about our ministry, how to support us, and recent updates. It is: www.crossing7.com/reachtaiwan.

Please feel free to write us at any time with questions or comments. Our journey in Taiwan is only made possible because of the love and support of people like you.

For the Glory of God,
Erich and Kelley Schindler
