Hi

I have been praying and researching about a possibility of leaving Taiwan again in pursuit of opportunities to reach out to Muslims, but to experience other cultures at the same time. I have a few options however I want to commit this to prayer. I am sure that God would be delighted for me to leave Taiwan and receive opportunities to reach out to Muslims, and also to live the life that I am meant to live, and use the gift that are given to me by God for the benefit of mankind. My options now is to study for a master’s degree in either Geology or Chemistry. I hope to do this in Europe because the tuition of some countries are very low and it allows me the opportunity to get to know other students, many of whom will be Muslim, in order to fulfill the goals of reaching out to them, but also developing my God-given gifts to its fullest potential. In order for me to study in Europe, I must learn their language and take a language test (similar to TOEFL, but for German, French, Danish, etc.). My options now are to get enough money for 2 months of language study tuition, which I have, and enough for the cheapest forms of accommodation that are available for a period of time (2 months) even if it means sacrificing certain comforts. I have found a language school in Berlin which only requires around 300 euros a month for intensive language studies which is enough to get a language study visa. Some have suggested studying language in Taiwan, which I will while I am still here, if a free language class is available in German, however I will attend the Spanish class next week at the rock. I do feel however in order to be most effective in learning German, I must be in an environment where using German is mandatory, and not many people speak English in Berlin which is the perfect environment for this kind of thing. My plan is to study language for around 1 year, then take language tests and apply for a university.

Now I want to request a prayer from you guys. Please pray for God to reveal to me the proper timing for this kind of thing, because I have to make the plan at least 6 months ahead of time in order to allow for things such as visa and other administrative work, and I would prefer to go during an off season in order to save on travel costs (and alleviate any possible headache from not being able to find a flight). Also pray that if God wants me to go now (I can set things into motion now, might not be able to leave tomorrow but I should be able to in 3 months) that God will provide me financially during my time there, either through donation, goodwill, work opportunities, or even something as amazing as manna (like a YWAM base in China finding over 10,000 USD inside a loaf of bread they bought with the last money they had).

Finally I ask for your forgiveness for anything that I might have said, or done that is not within the character of Christ.

Amen.
