Dear Friends,
You Said YES
As we closed the books on 2025, we realized something remarkable. You have just completed the most successful fundraising campaign in the history of Mission Taiwan. We invited you to help launch a movement of new churches, and you responded with a clear and generous yes.
Because of you, we are fully funded for this next phase of Mission Taiwan and the Taiwan Gospel Alliance. That means we are ready to move forward with clarity and confidence as we build a gospel ecosystem that can support, train, and care for the pastors we bring on board.
Your giving is already at work.
Franz and Ming have officially begun their journey with us. From the beginning, we have been intentional not to rush them into ministry pressure. We believe a healthy church requires a healthy leader at home.
Because of your generosity, we are able to invest deeply in their foundation before the work even begins. Franz and Ming have started intensive family counseling with a trusted and experienced Christian counselor here in Taiwan. Our prayer is that their marriage and emotional health would be strengthened now so they can serve faithfully and sustainably for decades to come.
This is the kind of long-term, values-driven investment your support makes possible.
What’s Next
In late June, Franz and Ming will join the team at TIF and Hope Fellowship full-time.
In early fall, we are planning to bring Franz to the United States to visit several of our partner churches. We are excited for many of you to meet in person the man you are investing in.
At the same time, we continue to pray and search for other potential church planters as this work expands.
Family Update
It is hard to believe that we are entering this new year as grandparents. Thank you for caring not only about the work, but about our family as well. We were all together for Christmas, and I also had the joy of spending time with my sisters, their families, and my parents.
We are deeply grateful for the way you walk with us in both ministry and life.
Gratefully,
Todd and Crista
P.S. Please pray for Franz and Ming during their counseling sessions. Pray that God would use this season to build a truly healthy-at-home foundation that will support a lifetime of ministry.
