Taiwan Morrison Academy students are making an impact on the people of Taichung, Taiwan. Students in the middle school have pulled weeds at a senior citizens home, sang Christmas carols, handed out tracts in the market, and planned games for students at a school for physically and mentally challenged students. Morrison students also have volunteered to help distribute more than 4,000 Bibles to Chinese tourists on Saturdays. These are a few of the service projects students have done in Jesus’ name. South Korea In September 2013, eight missionary candidate families from the Korea Evangelical Holiness Church were commissioned and sent out to various countries in Asia, South America, and North America. The new missionaries are adjusting to their mission fields, learning new languages and cultures, and beginning their ministries. Madagascar There are still several unreached tribal groups and other people, of which only a small section has been reached in this nation. Approximately 80–90 percent of Malagasy people live in hard-to-reach rural areas, and the distance is enormous due to lack of accessible roads. But we are grateful to God for working among the Sakalava, Tsimihety, Sihanaka, and Betsimisaraka tribes in the northern and eastern regions, where animism and witchcraft are still predominantly practiced. The response to our outreach work varies in these areas, but we praise God for the many witch doctors who have come to the Lord. 17
