Challenges & Opportunities in Taiwan

Rev. Ben Hosch

June 13, 2022 • Ben Hosch

Taiwan is a global leader in microchip technology, but also home to 15,000 temples and strong traditional religious beliefs. Taiwan has religious freedom and some large churches, but only 3.3% of the population is Evangelical Christian. Taiwan has a growing pool of intellectual leaders, but also a large unreached, grassroots, working-class population. How is LBIM focusing on evangelism and outreach in response to these demographic shifts in Taiwan?

Discipleship & Shepherding of Women

June 13, 2022 • Gretchen Ronnevik

From the sexual revolution, to debate over Biblical womanhood, women returning to the workplace, the homeschooling movement among Christians, to the #MeToo movement: inter-generational discipleship of women has become harder and disjointed, and distance is often created between women and their pastors. It often leads to either workaholic participation in church or complete disengagement. We’ll talk about these various challenges to the goal: getting the gospel to women and disciplining them in sound doctrine.

When adequately equipped and given the opportunity to rise to the level of their calling, elders become effective disciple-makers who graciously and humbly enrich the spiritual life of the congregation.
