Ghost month just ended and we have put together a quick video showing some of the sights and sounds. A lot of this was taken at our apartment building. We hope that this helps you connect with some of the foundational beliefs to this culture. Our desire is that this would soon become a thing of the past and that the Father’s kingdom would come and His will would be done in Taiwan as it is in heaven.
Much love,
The Danners
It was the story that for about 2 weeks, captivated the world. The Thai boys soccer (or Futbol depending on your preference) and their coach who were trapped in a cave. I personally had been following it every day. From the time I woke up until I went to bed at night, I would find myself checking my phone for updates as to the situation, all the while praying for rescue and life. I know this was the case for multitudes around the world. When word was received of the retired Thai Navy Seal diver who lost his life in the rescue effort, things seemed to take a downward turn and even though news that they were still alive had been encouraging, this loss of a heroes life was very disheartening. The rescuers pressed on, however, and did not lose hope. Then, a couple of days later (and over the course of 3 days), we received the joyous news that the mission of rescuing the 13, stranded in darkness and essentially, a grave, was a success!

We hope you enjoy this video celebrating Lan’s baptism from a few weeks ago. It took a while to get it posted due to travel and getting all of the files from the different people who recorded and took pictures. :)
It was an honor to be a part of Lan’s baptism celebration! Many of her not-yet-believing family and friends were able to be there, sing songs to the Father, and hear the Gospel! It was a great day.
Enjoy…
Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you about a recent God-moment I had in a famous buddhist temple here in Taipei…I hope you enjoy and are encouraged!
Much love,
Clay
Thank you for sharing how the Lord is growing your courage to obey what you hear from Him. Humanly speaking, it sounds risky. But because you are following His leading, it is a divine appointment. It is an adventure of sowing seeds of the gospel as you care for people which usually leads to opportunities to share Him with them.
We are encouraged by your example!ReplyCancel
This past Sunday, I spoke at the church we attend and partner with, Every Nation Taipei. Pastor KC asked me to speak specifically about “lifestyle discipleship”, which I was very excited about doing. As I sat with Mark finishing up breakfast and coffee, we began praying for the Chinese and International services, the people who would be there, and also for my ability to communicate clearly in Chinese the message I had prepared.
As we prayed, I felt like the Father was telling me that before I started sharing what I had prepared, that He wanted me to pray for healing for people with back problems. I had never started a service off that way in my life, but I really felt strongly it was from the Lord. After worship, I simply asked if there was anyone there who had pain in their back. Four people came forward to be prayed for and the Lord touched their lives!
After I shared, I stayed on the side in case anyone wanted to come ask questions or receive prayer for anything. Several people came up with different problems in their body. There were shoulder issues, neck issues, and another back issue. Each person shared that they felt relief and that the Lord was bringing healing. One elderly lady came up informing us she had a bad problem with dry eyes. As we prayed, I saw her eyes beginning to water. We praised the Lord together for that healing and touch!
I love the look on Sharon’s face as she experiences the Father’s tangible love.
I want to share with you in this blog post, however, about a lady named Sharon. Sharon informed me that she had a tumor in the middle of her brain. When first discovered, it was a pretty large tumor. The doctors who performed surgery on her were only able to remove about half of the mass due to it’s location. She asked if I would pray for her healing. Of course, I would! I asked her if she would be ok with me placing my hand on her head as I prayed for her, which she had no problem with. As soon as I began to pray, I felt an intense heat flow from my fingers into her head. Up to this point, with everyone I had prayed for, I hadn’t felt anything manifest physically, but with Sharon, I did. Her entire head began to heat up immediately. She began smiling as it happened. As I continued praying, the heat continued to intensify. If you’ve ever used those “Hot Hands” to put in your pocket to keep you warm in the cold, it felt a lot like that at it’s most intense. In the middle of my prayer I asked her, “Can you feel that?!”, to which she replied, “YES!” She then began giggling, then jumping, as the Father poured His love on her.
Hi Clay. It’s exciting to hear how the Lord allowed you to be a part of Sharon‘s healing. We will be praying along with you that the MRI results will show no sign of tumors. Also, I believe that the Lord will continue to bless you and your family as you minister to those families that you see each day. I know that the Lord simply asked for our obedience and our trust in him and he will Do all the rest. We love you guys and continue to pray for you During our family Devotion time.ReplyCancel
