Ed Stetzer and the Lifeway Research team visited Taiwan a few months ago to ask questions and observe the religious climate of the island. He explains the religious culture he was confronted with is far from what is usually published in almanacs. The Buddhism and Taoism are more like umbrella to some of the deeply underlying animistic and ancestral worship characteristics of the people. Check out his video in front of the Long Shan Temple in Taipei. He also reviews many of the highlights of the trip here: Taiwan Vision Trip Recap.
The need in Taiwan is apparent in only viewing the people worshipping at one temple in Taipei, but throughout the island there are thousands of other temples people are fearfully worshipping ancestors and gods. Ed interviews a church planter about his heart and call about sharing making the name of Jesus know in Taipei.
He was also able to interview several other pastors and missionaries while visiting Taipei. Check out some of the links below to connect to his website and view the videos.
