Investing in Taiwanese seminary students

OMF Taiwan - Tuesday 03 February 2009

Most Taiwanese seminary students are required to intern on weekends at a local church or ministry situation. In recent years we have had a few students work in our OMF related ministries. This has been an excellent experience. We not only have enthusiastic Taiwanese believers assisting in our ministries. It is also an opportunity to share our vision as we mentor, train and mobilise them to reach out to working class people. In the future some of these interns may become long-term colleagues and even take over from us, while others may commit to other working class ministries.

We would love to see more young Taiwanese Christians in working class ministries and we have made a decision to set up a new project to pay for more seminary students to work alongside us. Our goal is that we will have sufficient money to fund about 6 interns each year.
