Here's a picture of us playing in Hong Kong...our first performance in Asia :)
Today, we got to participate in an activity at a church called The Journey. It's a day long activity that people go through, which leads them through a journey to becoming a missionary. We played music in the comfort zone where they had to choose if they wanted to go through the journey to become a missionary in another country or stay where they were comfortable. Then they went to many other stations, including being called by the church, raising support, getting visas, booking plane tickets, going on a trip, going through immigration and customs, then finally meeting the people group they would be working with. After a morning in the comfort zone, we spent the afternoon as serious and mean officers at the border. It was a great thing to be a part of and neat to see a church and people invested in missions and sending people out. The bluegrass music we played also seemed to be received well, so that was great. It was our first time to play in Taiwan. As you'll notice, we are wearing matching shirts. Apparently, matching is appreciated here....and at the very least, it's one more thing that makes us stand out as we travel and meet people. We've got white skin, height, a different language, instruments, name tags, and now matching shirts!
Tomorrow, we are playing a few songs and sharing a little at a church in the morning and then participating in a music outreach event the church is having in the evening. Please pray for us as we do that on Sunday.
