2026 Canaan Short-Term Mission

From the beginning, Canaan has been a missional church, supporting missionaries and missions organizations, and actively engaging in missions work locally and globally. We have been sending short-term missionaries to Taiwan since 2004, partnering with local Christian organizations to serve underprivileged children and share the gospel, particularly focusing on the Taiwanese aborigines—raising up leaders in their communities to break out of the endless cycle of poverty and abuse. For the ongoing ministries in Taiwan, Canaan founded Taiwan Abundant Life International Development Association (TALIDA) in 2008 as a mission organization to bridge and support churches across Taiwan with international resources.

In 2026, we will send two summer Short-Term Mission Teams to Taiwan and to Mexico. The Taiwan STM team will run a week-long English/Mandarin bilingual VBS (vacation bible school) camp in Beirong Church in Chia-Yi, Taiwan from 7/1 to 7/11. The Mexico STM team will be led by YWAM staff from 7/28 to 8/4 to learn about and serve local communities in Ensenada, Mexico – a 90-minute drive from the US border. Through prayers and caring interactions, we hope to share God's love and the Gospel with camp students in Chia-Yi and various people groups in Ensenada, and to experience and witness God's work in Taiwan and in Mexico.
