As we celebrate Christmas,

- consider what Jesus did to leave his heavenly home and all its splendor to go on the ultimate mission trip

– to Earth to live and die for mankind who did not understand, accept or love him – to fulfill God’s plan to save all of us-

You are invited to jour 3rd CBM/BACBC short-term missions in Linkou from June 28-July 10, 2025. Team members will be partnering with CBM’s church plant to reach its community with the Gospel and to share Jesus with local Taiwan elementary students through an English Summer Day Camp.

Praise God for approximately 50 Short-Term Missionaries (STMs) from the States and 20 Youth Staff in Taiwan who served elementary age students at English Day camps in two cities 18 km (11 miles) away from each other in Linkou and Wanhua. We are thankful for God’s provision that allowed us to add a camp in Wanhua to serve underprivileged families and orphans.

For this year’s February Missions focus, Matt Hayashida was the speaker for our Combined English Service. He is a staff member at Hope Community Church in East Los Angeles with a focus on youth ministry and discipleship.

Brian and Faith Janssen continue their ministry to university students through on-campus activities as well as hosting events at their Gospel Center. Due to the political and economic situation in Taiwan, many students are experiencing mental health issues as they face the future and are looking for a safe community where they can share and find a place to belong.

In February, Rev. Janson Chan visited the Bay Area and had various opportunities to provide an update on TTI’s ministry. At BACBC, he shared at worship services and conducted an in-person information session as well as two online sessions.
