It’s been no less than seven years since Doulos was in Taiwan, and we were both on board at that time. For me (Paul), Taiwan is a land of significant memories. I did my first short term missions trip with OM there in 1997, and was overwhelmed by the experience of working in a team of international Christians. During that trip I also received my first calling to join Doulos. Now the ship is in Kaohsiung, at the the south of the island and during the first weekend in port over 18,000 people came on board! The resulting traffic clogged up the town… To those serving with OM Ships, large crowds in Taiwan shouldn’t be a surprise. The largest number of visitors recorded in one day (27,200) came during the ship’s visit to Taichung in 1988. Here’s a good summary about the present visit – http://www.chinapost.com.tw/news/archives/taiwan/2007312/104416.htm
