After teaching English at a university in China, Ryan Campbell went to Taiwan and partnered with Enoch and Jeannine Thweatt as an intern. For two months, Ryan taught WEI students at the Tien Mou church building north of Taipei.
Jimmy, a college student, was one of Ryan’s students. Ryan writes, “Jimmy’s mother accepted Christ years ago. As is often the case among the Chinese, his father came to Christ later, influenced by his wife’s life of faith and love.
“Jimmy decided to be buried with Christ in baptism after eight weeks of studying The Conflict Between Good and Evil, The King Is Coming, The King Has Come, and The New Birth.
“Let us join in prayer as we lift up our new brother, praying for his faith, influence, and strength.”
Lisa Metzer joined Ryan in this ministry toward the end of his internship in Taiwan. Ryan said, “A kindred spirit, she provided a breath of fresh air for the church. Her soft heart, inviting aura, and amiable nature created an instant bond with many of the students.”
These words of adoration came from Ryan’s heart. Ryan “popped” the question at the Metzer family home on December 23. Ryan and Lisa are engaged to be married June 20th. In the coming years, they would like to serve overseas, sharing the love of God with the Chinese.
