In a Nutshell
We live in Tainan County in southern Taiwan. Currently we are both working as English teachers. We love to tell people about Jesus and look forward to the day when we can be full time career missionaries.
Amanda’s lived in Taiwan as a tent-maker missionary for 7 years. After 5 years in Taiwan, she met and fell in love with Lawrance, who is a Hakka-Taiwanese. We got married, however, in Amanda’s home state–one of the best places in the world–Texas!
A Bit More
Lawrance and Amanda met through a mutual friend. She basically begged him to go on “just one date” with Amanda. He reluctantly agreed and after just one cup of coffee was glad he did. We dated for about four months before he proposed, and we married three months later. It was one whirlwind of a year, perhaps the most perfect year of our lives thus far. To read more about how we became husband and wife, look here.
Amanda was 30 when she married. It was hard for her to be single in her 20s. She blogged about it a lot as she struggled through the process of praying and hoping and waiting, waiting, waiting.
Since Lawrance and Amanda are tentmakers, we support our missionary work by teaching English. While, Lawrance enjoys teaching junior high students, Amanda enjoys teaching college students. But, sadly, we are struggling with having enough time and energy to devote to ministry after we’ve finished our full-time jobs. Join us in asking God to change this situation in the way He sees fit.
We both trust Jesus for our salvation; in other words, we are sinners saved by grace. To read more about how God has worked in Amanda’s life to bring her to himself, you can read her testimony here. Lawrance also has an amazing testimony of God’s amazing grace–we’ll have to beg him to share it here on the blog.
Thanks for stopping by wuhoo! We hope you find something that “tickles your fancy!”
