On December 1, 2025, the Taiwan Conference convened its Annual Council to review how gospel ministry advanced across Taiwan throughout the year. Reports pointed to steady progress toward unity as officers strengthened interdepartmental collaboration, frontline workers reached unreached communities, and youth and campus ministries actively led young people to Christ.
At the same time, leaders acknowledged that the mission remains unfinished. In response, the Taiwan Conference launched the “Seeking Lost Sheep Project” to restore scattered members and reaffirmed its commitment to the General Conference’s global evangelism initiative, “One Voice 2027,” which seeks to expand gospel outreach through diverse platforms.
Kang SoonGi, President of the Northern Asia-Pacific Division, led the morning devotional and expressed appreciation for the opportunity to hear ministry reports from Taiwan. He reminded attendees that the Seventh-day Adventist Church functions as a global family. Although members serve in different languages and cultures, he emphasized that the church shares the same Bible, the same Sabbath School lessons, and the same mission. He urged participants to uphold the council theme, “Integrated for Mission, Grounded in the Bible, Focused on the Mission,” as an essential principle for the remnant church.
The council centered on the four I Will Go strategies: Communion with God, Identity in Christ, Unity through the Holy Spirit, and Mission for All. Clark Ko, President of the Taiwan Conference, outlined a phased evangelism plan that moves from “Loud Voice” in 2025 to “Integrated for Mission, Grounded in the Bible, Focused on the Mission” in 2026 and leads into “One Voice 2027.” He explained that these phases connect strategically and expand media outreach by turning digital and social platforms into tools for evangelism. The conference grounded this approach in Ellen G. White’s writings to strengthen members’ spiritual lives while implementing localized strategies aligned with the General Conference’s global soul-winning goals.
During the council, delegates reviewed reports from conference departments and educational institutions. Taipei American Adventist Elementary School and Taiwan Adventist Academy reported measurable growth in campus ministries and highlighted students’ commitment, many of whom are first-generation believers. Departmental leaders demonstrated unity through close cooperation as they pursued diversified ministry development. The Social Services Department traveled throughout Taiwan during the year, carrying out home repair projects and relief initiatives, and delivered coordinated and comprehensive assistance during the Hualien Matai’an Stream overflow disaster.
District directors reported strong frontline engagement through district fellowship events, the establishment of gospel centers, and effective harvest evangelistic meetings. In recent years, the Taiwan Conference has placed greater emphasis on urban ministry. The Pingzhong District, led by Pastor Kwon Soon Bum, recorded notable outcomes by welcoming 59 individuals into the Adventist Church through baptism—the highest total among all mission districts this year.
As 2025 draws to a close, pastors, church workers, and organizational leaders review the progress achieved through united efforts and reaffirm their commitment to continue advancing the mission entrusted to the church. Building on the foundation established by previous generations, the Taiwan Conference moves into 2026 with renewed unity and purpose. Under God’s guidance, the conference continues to expand gospel outreach across Taiwan, restore the lost, nurture believers, and prepare for the Lord’s soon return.
