Remember, Remember

For this month's post we wanted to show a few Elliot pictures but wanted to dedicate most of it to a friend/leader that recently passed away.

Ready to Ride!

Elliot showing off at our bible study and wearing Pomelo fruit skin

For me, personally (Keith), I am not sure if I would be here in Taiwan if it weren't for Don.  When he spoke in my DTS in 2006 in Montana, I knew that this was a man that I could learn a lot from, especially, about what it really means to follow Christ.  He was someone that was always pressing forward and carrying our vision.  If we weren't going all out for what God was calling us to, he was right there challenging us and encouraging us.  In one his last teachings he did in the DTS here in Taiwan he said, "What are you willing to die for?  Until you know what you are willing to die for, you won't know what to live for.  We need radical change in our lives where WE don't count, only God does."  That is something that I will be challenged with over and over, what it means to lay down "my rights".  We, as Christians, don't have rights, we only do the will of the Father.  Am I willing to die for Christ?  Am I willing to die for the gospel?  Am I willing to die for the Lost?

Below is a link to a video that a friend of ours made.  It is a bunch of pictures of all the different ministries, and at the end there is a dedication to Don.  It has a recording of a portion of his teaching.  This video will give you a very broad idea of what YWAM Taipei has been up to this year.  Also, I hope the short message you hear from Don is a challenge.
