Hope is taking root in Taiwan.

Taiwanese pastors are planting churches and reaching students across Taichung, in a country where fewer than 4 in 100 people know Jesus. Come and be part of it.

The need is real. So is the hope.

Of Taiwan's 23 million people, fewer than 4 in 100 are born-again Christians. In Taichung, three million people share the city with 252 evangelical churches.

But churches are being planted, students are coming to faith, and Taiwanese leaders are stepping up to lead them.
