Day One in Taipei - This is the day!

Yesterday was day one in Taipei. It was a good day that included many highlights. At the chapel service for ORTV (the company where my step daughter,  Naomi, works),we started by singing This is the Day. The song proved to be prophetic as it was a day that the Lord's goodness was evident. During the chapel time, I had the opportunity share a little about HDCH and to ask prayer.

The top highlight of the day was when I was able to meet Yoshie on the MRT and bring her to Naomi.  Many good connections were made for Yoshie when she visited ORTV.  As you can see by the picture, I was able to present Yoshie with the HDCH diploma. I am pretty sure that this is the first ever HDCH graduation Taipei.  Yoshie is doing well and sends her greetings to Mrs. Vonk and the entire HDCH community.



Other highlights of the day include:
  • Participating in three different meeting with people from ORTV who have spent cnsiderable time traveling and living in China.  These were very helpful meetings.
  • Enjoying a delicious supper of Thai food with 8 of Naomi's ORTV colleagues. Great food -Excellent conversations - Much laughter!
  • Meeting with high school students from the Philippines .  I had the opportunity to encourage them in their studies and to explain to them the type of education HDCH offers comparing this to their educational experiences.

  1. It was so nice to meet Yoshie! We're hoping she will bring some of her college friends with her to our Friday night Bible Study. :)
