“I Love Taiwan Mission” invites foreign youth to explore  Taiwan and tell the 
world

>Reported by TCN

>Written by Lydia Ma

Recently, “I Love Taiwan Mission” (ILT) welcomed youth  from 10 countries to 
Taiwan for a

short-term mission. The program, spearheaded by PCT Youth Ministry  Committee 
which runs

from June 30 to July 15, will send youth to several local PCT  churches so that 
they can take

part in various ministries, experience life in Taiwan, and pray  together with 
Taiwanese youth.

Youth participating in ILT attended some training before they were  sent to 21 
local churches.

At the end of this program, they will regroup again to compare  their 
experiences with one

another before heading home to share with their own churches what  they’ve 
learned in Taiwan.

According to Youth Ministry Committee Chairman Sam Lee, ILT is a  great 
opportunity for

youth to expand their horizons and gain exposure because they will  interact a 
lot with people

from different countries and cultures and they will also be  invited to share 
their own perspectives.

Ecumenical exchanges such as ILT help youth look beyond themselves  and their 
needs, and

become aware and involved in issues related to justice, world  peace, human 
rights, gender

equality, environmental protection, racial equality, etc. This  year’s ILT 
theme is “Praying with Taiwan’s  heartbeat”.

Kevin Szech, a German youth visiting Taiwan for the first time  through ILT, 
said Taiwan was a

beautiful place but the hot weather was more than he could bear.  However, he 
was deeply

touched by the way Taiwanese youth led prayer meetings by  intertwining prayer 
with music.
