More than 50 pastors and leaders convened on the campus of Taiwan Nazarene Theological College July 14 to 16 for the first Church Growth Conference in recent history.

The three-day event featured workshops on church planting, Nazarene Missions International, and communicating Christ through modern media, in addition to sessions of corporate praise, worship, and prayer.

“There is definitely a spirit of revival beginning to blow through the church in Taiwan,” said Todd Aebischer, regional communications coordinator and one of the presenters.  “The excitement of the leadership towards expanding the church for the mission of reaching the lost is evident.”

Aebischer also visited churches during his trip.

“During our 10-day visit to Taiwan, we had the opportunity to visit 18 churches, [from] churches on the upper floors of high-rise buildings in downtown Taipei to churches tucked into the mountain regions of the far south of the country," he said. "There is a hunger for new vision and methods of taking the gospel to those who have never heard of the hope and peace found through Jesus Christ.”
