Sent from Amarillo in 2013. Still here, and staying.
Mission Taiwan exists so that Taiwanese people get to hear, see and experience the good news of Jesus Christ.
The mission
Our main work is planting gospel-centered churches, equipping local leaders, and serving the community in practical ways that open doors for the message of Jesus. We work hand in hand with Taichung International Fellowship and a growing network of partners.
Behind every student baptized and every church launched is a praying, sending and giving family that stretches from Taiwan to Texas and beyond.
How can they believe if they have never heard?

How the work has grown
Moving to Taichung, 2013
Todd and Crista move to Taichung in June 2013, sent by Trinity Baptist Church in Amarillo. Todd gives more than two years to full-time Mandarin study and now ministers in English and Chinese.
Taichung International Fellowship
Started as an outreach to Taiwanese and a church for expatriates, TIF is now one of the largest international churches in Taiwan.
Five university campuses
Outreach Bible studies begin on five campuses, and more than 40 mission teams come to serve. Students come to faith, are discipled and join local churches.
An internship for young adults
A mission internship gives young people real ministry and real mentoring in Taiwan.
Hope Fellowship, 2020
Our first Taiwanese church is planted.
All Praise, 2025
Our first Indonesian church is planted.
