2027 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 2027, Canaan will send two Short-Term Mission teams to Taiwan from July 1 to July 17. Working alongside local churches and TALIDA, both teams will run English/Mandarin bilingual VBS camps for elementary school students. Team Taichung will serve at MongAn Church and BoAi Church, and Team Chiayi at Beirong Church and ChaShan Church in Alishan. Through prayer and caring relationships, we hope to share God's love and the Gospel with children and their families.
