What Happens When You Say YES to God?
When you say YES to God…
You never know where that yes will take you — but you can be sure it will take you deeper into His presence, His purpose, and His faithfulness.

Our First 40 Days in Taiwan
Thirty days ago, Linda and I stepped off a plane in Taipei with two suitcases, prophetic words burning in our hearts, and a quiet confidence that God was leading us into a completely new season. We left our business life in Los Angeles, stepped away from everything comfortable, and moved into full-time missions with YWAM Taiwan.
We thought we were “transitioning.”
God had something else in mind.
He threw us straight into the frontlines.
Two weeks after arriving, we joined an 8-day evangelistic sprint across all 17 counties on the mainland of Taiwan — and what we saw was nothing short of miraculous:
8 people made Jesus Lord of their life
3 people were healed
Countless hearts were touched by the Gospel of the Kingdom
And we were changed
This is the story of our first 30 days — and what happens when you truly say YES to God.
The Assignment: The 8-Day Evangelism Sprint
➤ All 17 counties
➤ Daily miracles
➤ Salvations & healings
➤ Being changed by the people
➤ What God spoke during the journey
After only 2 weeks in Taiwan, we boarded a van with a small team of wild, obedient evangelists and drove through every single county on the island. What we witnessed humbled us. People hungry for hope. Hearts softened. The Gospel meeting people in their pain. Every prayer, every conversation, every open door reminded us: we didn’t come here to work — we came here to witness God move.
The Call: “Why Taiwan? Why Now?”
We didn’t choose Taiwan — Taiwan chose us. In January 2024, the Lord spoke clearly: “Taiwan is a signpost.” At the time, we didn’t understand it. Over the months that followed, prophetic dreams, words from leaders, and divine confirmations all pointed in the same direction. God wasn’t just asking us to visit Taiwan. He was asking us to build our lives here.
Leaving LA & Laying Everything Down
Leaving Los Angeles meant leaving comfort, stability, and the life we had spent years building. But it also meant stepping into something bigger than ourselves. We weren’t just moving; we were surrendering. Laying down business, routine, and predictability — and stepping into a story God was writing.
Landing in Taipei felt like stepping into the unknown — but also stepping into grace. Our first days were filled with wonder, confusion, joy, and a deep sense of “This is where we’re supposed to be.” We jumped into language learning, found our rhythm in Linkou, and immediately felt the love of the YWAM base family.
The Mission: What We’re Doing Now in Taiwan
➤ University outreach
➤ Homeless ministry
➤ Beauty/nail outreach events
➤ Evangelism in the park
➤ Local church partnerships
➤ Learning the culture / language
Now that the sprint is over, we’ve stepped into the ongoing rhythms of mission life. We serve at a homeless center, host friendship evangelism in the park, run nail-beauty outreach events, and help lead university gatherings in Linkou. Our heart is simple: love people well, preach the Gospel clearly, and build relationships that reveal Jesus.
The Vision: Where GraceWave Is Heading
➤ Prophetic vision for Taiwan
➤ Plans for worship nights, trainings, discipleship
➤ Marketplace + missions merge
➤ Media evangelism (Gracewave TV)
Gracewave exists to equip people, gather them, and lead them into encounters with the grace of Jesus. Taiwan is not an accident — it’s an assignment. We believe a wave of grace is coming to this nation, and God is preparing a generation to carry His presence into universities, businesses, neighborhoods, and nations.
The Invitation: Join the Journey
➤ Prayer
➤ Monthly support
➤ Partnership
➤ Staying connected
We can’t do this alone. Missions has always been a partnership — some go, some send, and all share in the harvest. If God stirs your heart as you read this, we invite you to pray, partner, and walk with us as we serve Taiwan in this new season.
