By God’s grace, Mission Harmony presents two mission opportunities to Taiwan and China this summer. The first mission is to Ligang(屏東,里港), Taiwan from 7/6-10, and the second mission continues to Taiyuan(太原), China from 7/16-21.

In between these two missions, Mission Harmony will provide two team building sight seeing trips from 7/11-12 in Taiwan and from 7/12-14 & 20-21 in China.

Choose either mission or do both.

Each participating church is encouraged to organize her own team and works as an independent team on a mission site with the Mission harmony ministry providing logistics support, transportations, accommodations, worship programs and camp handbooks.

I. VISION

Calling for 3 teams of 10 to 20 brothers and sisters each to continue on solidifying previous mission in Taiwan (summer ’08) and Taiyuan (winter ‘09) to further extend God’s kingdom there with local churches in the school campuses and their communities.

Families with school going kids and college students are highly encouraged to join the mission, since they are effective ambassadors for Christ (II Cor. 5:20).
