Stories of What We Saw and Came to Love Through Ecumenical Partnership on the I Love Taiwan Mission
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In July 2026, four young adults from NCNC joined the I Love Taiwan Mission under the theme “Resilient Taiwan,” rooted in the Conference’s ecumenical partnership with the Tainan Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan. Through stories, photographs, and reflections, the delegates will share what they experienced in local congregations, youth ministry, cultural encounters, and community life. Participants will explore how cross-cultural partnerships foster mutual learning, deepen relationships, and expand our shared imagination of church across cultures and generations.
