Missionary Work in Taiwan

BACKGROUND:

Taiwan is an island nation of the located approximately 90 miles east of China. The Republic of China was started on October 10, 1911 in China. In 1949 the free Chinese government of Chiang Kai-shek fled from China to escape the communist insurgents. China is currently communist and is called the "Peoples Republic of China" and is opposed to the free Chinese on Taiwan.
The Republic of China on Taiwan is a free, democratic nation with the basic freedoms for its citizens that are expected of a democratic society. The government, and people, of Taiwan are friends of the United States of America. The population of Taiwan is 23 million people consisting of Chinese and indigenous local tribes. The major religions are: Buddhist, Taoist and Confucianism. The main language is Chinese Mandarin, Taiwanese and several tribal dialects.

Brother Young first arrived on Taiwan in January 1973 while serving in the United States Air Force. He was stationed at C.C.K Air Force Base located in Taichung, Taiwan. While in the military on Taiwan God called him as a missionary to the Chinese people.

MINISTRY: The Lord lead the Youngs to start their current new work, called Victory Baptist Church, in Hua Lien. The first service in a building that they rented was held on May 24, 2008. As Paul recorded in Romans 15:20, Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation. The Youngs started Victory Baptist Church in a city without any other Independent Baptist churches, nor any other western missionary of any denomination. The Lord enabled the Youngs to rent the building and conduct all of the other necessary work by themselves since that time without any other missionary or local Chinese helping them. All of the services, visitation efforts, and other work, are conducted in Chinese Mandarin without the help of a translator.
