Richard & Jessie Roberts

羅禮德牧師 & 吳建蘭師母

Richard and Jessie arrived in Taiwan from the US along with their three children on March 24, 2004. Not knowing how long they would be called to stay in Taiwan they spent their first five years in a working class suburb of New Taipei City, called Hsin Chuang. After gaining some insight on the cultural, spiritual, and political landscapes and some learning some basic language skills and serving with two different churches in the area the Lord began to call them to the northeastern region of Taiwan more specifically to Gongliao District (County.)

Before leaving the Hsin Chuang Area they had begun to travel every week to the rural, coastal area in the northeast praying about the type of ministry the Lord would have them do. They felt called to plant small village churches from the grass roots. It was quite a challenge for many years since there is no Christian culture in the area. However as of March January 2026 they have started three village churches, incorporated their ministry and developed many public charity programs for those living in the northeast region.

Their three children are now grown and two of them have married. They also have six grandchildren. When asked how long they will stay in Taiwan the answer is “Until the last day,” but they are not exactly sure what that means.

 
 

YANG FAMILY

Matthew & Sarah Yang

楊聲維＆羅信 (楊家的宣教事工)

 

“To reach the young generation with the Love of Christ so they would find their identity, purpose and destiny.”

「以基督的愛觸及年輕世代，使他們找到自己的身份、目的和命定。」

About us

Matthew and Sarah have been blessed with five children. Their family life is centered on living out the gospel, not only within their home but in the broader community. They believe that their family unit is a reflection of God’s grace and a vital part of their ministry work.

OUR STORY

Matthew was born in Richmond, Virginia, but spent 9 formative years of his childhood in Taiwan. This experience gave him a deep connection to the culture and people of Taiwan. Sarah moved to Taiwan at the age of 13 from Americus, Georgia, and it became her home.

Together, they have embraced the call to serve in this land that has played such an important role in both their lives for the past 7 years. Though their journey has not been without brokenness and hardship, they have experienced the transforming power of God’s grace, which has restored them and guided them into ministry.

It is through this grace that they now serve the people of Taiwan with humility and passion.

VISION

“ "Our mission is to connect with the younger generation through love and compassion, helping them encounter God's love and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the power of the gospel, we seek to equip them to live in freedom, shape culture with kingdom values, and bring hope to dark places.

Our vision is to raise up kingdom-minded leaders, Godly fathers, and mothers, so that every village in Northeast Taiwan might one day be home to a church instead of a temple."

Taylor Family

Adam and Jayde Taylor, missionaries to northeast Taiwan

THE TAYLOR FAMILY

Just three days after graduating from their mission school, in the US, Adam Taylor and Jayde Chau moved to Taiwan to begin a three-month internship with Northeast Taiwan Christian Association (NETCA). As they built relationships with local families and witnessed the deep spiritual needs throughout Northeast Taiwan, their short-term commitment quickly grew into an impassioned calling to serve for a longer-term with an unspecified ending.

While much of their ministry focuses on children and youth, Adam and Jayde’s mission remains simple and steadfast: to go, proclaim the gospel, and make disciples of Jesus Christ. Their deepest desire is to see the people of Taiwan encounter the one true and living God and experience His life-transforming power.

During this same season, and after a time of courtship, Adam asked Jayde to marry him and she said yes! After their marriage they established their first home together in Aodi village, in the northeast Taiwan. Together the Taylors have passionately committed their lives to the people God has placed before them.

These two scriptures fuel and anchor their ministry:

  1. Matthew 9:37 - “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”

  2. Romans 10:14-15 - “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? How will they preach unless someone is sent? Just as it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!’”

It is evident that Jesus is drawing Taiwanese children, youth, and families to His heart—and they are responding. Adam and Jayde have committed themselves to being faithfully present in Northeast Taiwan, positioning their lives to reach the local community with the transformative love of Christ. They believe that a single life touched by Jesus can bring transformation to families, communities, regions, and a nation.
