Bits
And Pieces
How
God led to Taiwan
Danny:
He called me to the Hakka in 1987 - made me
aware of the need of this unreached people group that same year
through different people. Allowed my family and I to "spy out the
land" two years later and then called us here long term in 1991.
Arlene:
Through various people and
circumstances God made me aware of the Hakka in 1987 and allowed us as
a family to "spy out the land" in 1989.
Danny was convinced that God was calling us long term, but I
wasn't. After several months of struggling with God's call, by His
grace and mercy He clearly confirmed to me that this was His will for
me and for us.
