In recent years the number of young people moving from other East Asian countries to study in Taiwan has been increasing. At the beginning of 2019 this included around 13 000 from Vietnam, 12 000 from Indonesia, 17 000 from Malaysia, 9 000 from Japan, and 3000 from Thailand.
We are looking for people called by God to join us in our outreach to the East Asian diaspora in Taiwan. You could come as a volunteer or as a full-time worker. OMF International’s Diaspora Ministries Taiwan team seeks to evangelize and disciple East Asians who are living away from their home countries studying in Taiwan. We seek to prepare and equip them to bring the gospel back to their own people and others. A good level of Mandarin is needed in order to live comfortably in Taiwan, so non-Mandarin speakers will need to learn some Mandarin (1-2 years). Need to adjust to a busy, crowded, and often noisy environment. Life in Taiwan is often exciting but also exhausting.
