Brenda Carter has been serving in Taiwan since 1986 with Mission to the World, the mission arm of the Presbyterian Church in America. The first two years she taught English at Christ College. In 1989, she started studying the Mandarin language and taught English classes to help a missionary who was starting a church, the SanYi Gospel Center. After her last co-worker left in 1997, Brenda stayed in Sanyi, praying for a Hakka pastor to come. In 2000, a young church member from San Yi, Tsai Jya-Jang (Joshua) started seminary training. His heart is for his town and plans to stay in San Yi after his training. However, Brother Tsai has finished his study and returned to San Yi to serve the Lord. The San Yi Gospel Center joined the Taiwan Hakka Association of Churches in 1993. The Hakka Association is a non-denominational group of churches with the vision of planting churches among the Hakka Chinese of Taiwan. Three to five percent of Taiwan's overall population is professing Christians. But among the Hakkas t his percentage is only 0.3. Over the years, the Hakkas have been considered resistant to the gospel, but when the facts are studied, they have been a neglected group. Brenda hopes you will join in the work of giving the Hakka Chinese an opportunity to hear the gospel. She has raised most of her support and will shortly return to the field in San Yi Gospel Center.
