Today I am happy to be blogging about a happier topic then the last one. Today Ian and I hop on a (dreadfully long) flight to the island country of Taiwan. I had the true privilege of being invited to be the key note speaker at the 2008 CHANGE THE WORLD conference at Changhua High School (along with my son Spencer, Rachel Smoltz and Maggie Taylor). Then in May 2009 I was invited again for the official book launch of IT’S NOT OKAY WITH ME in Chinese! The friends I have met through those two trips are friends for life.
Highlights of the next week include being given the Global Live Love Award by the President of Taiwan, launching the official charity of HEART FOR AFRICA -TAIWAN (which will come alongside our work on Project Canaan in Swaziland), releasing IS IT OKAY WITH YOU in Chinese, celebrating AFRICA WEEK with the Ambassador of Swaziland, meeting Minster of International Development, seeing our friends at Changhua High School and an extensive media tour. Lots of fun, all glory going to the ONE who planned it all and called us to His purpose.
Will try to blog as often as possible. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement.
