Ever since the founder of Animals Taiwan spoke at the English service in October 2007, Animals Taiwan has become an outreach ministry of the English-speaking congregation. Apart from being a holding center for stray dogs and cats, Animals Taiwan also focuses on its CNR (Capture, Neuter, Return) and education programs. In
the last few months, it has been busy rescuing dogs caught by traps set throughout the city aimed. Members of the congregation go to the holding center monthly to bathe the dogs, walk the dogs, clean up the yard, and do just about anything that needs done.
In May, we sponsored Animals Taiwan to have an exhibit at the American Club in Taipei, a place frequented by expatriates. I took advantage of my special membership at the Club to help r
aise the visibility of Animals Taiwan in the expatriate community; at the same time to let this community know how we witness God’s stewardship. For this event, we and Animals Taiwan worked together on the poster and the article for the Club’s magazine. As a result, we have a closer relationship with Animals Taiwan, and it has a clearer and deeper 
impression of us.
One of the goals of the congregation is to let ourselves be better known, especially in the expatriate community, to help increase membership. I tend to feel that the most effective way to advertise ourselves is by showing people who we are, how we live as Christians, how we develop relationships outside of our congregation, and how we are different and yet a part of the community. In order to achieve the goal of increased membership, we need to see how we are witnessing God’s love and how we are developing relationships beyond the congregation.
