We sent the Titus team out mid-April to Cambodia, where they will be teaching seminars for pastors and church leaders on Inductive Bible Study and Bible Overview. For reports from the team, visit YWAM Taiwan's web site at : http://www.ywamtaipei.com/ and click on the "Titus Blog".
Amy was very involved in the Training time -- teaching & leading the school, while Michael's time was divided between home (taking care of the girls), helping with Titus, and beginning another year of SBS staff.
SBS started up for the year the week after Titus began... so, as just mentioned, Michael's time was very divided between Titus, SBS, and home... but he managed :-).
The SBS this year in Taiwan has 26 students! This is exciting! We are hoping for a good crop of students from this year's class to come and do Titus next year. :-) Michael just finished teaching Luke in the SBS.
Right now he is busy grading, and studying for his upcoming teachings... Up next: in DTS - Character of God, and in SBS - 2 Corinthians. Amy has spent her time post-Titus trying to catch up on the house, clean & organize! She is presently at war with the extra house-guests we have right now (she doesn't mind the lizards as much as the few roaches we have spotted & the giant spiders [the last spider was 5 inches in diameter! ... yay...]) Amy is also presently working away studying for upcoming lectures/teachings. Up next: in DTS - Character of God, and in SBS - 1 Timothy. 
The girls are enjoying the warm weather -- spending much time outside playing in our apartment complex's courtyard. There are several families that live in our complex and after school the courtyard comes alive with activity! The girls love playing with all the other kids -- and it's good Chinese practice!! :-)
Elise has been going to Chinese preschool for the past 2 months -- and is greatly enjoying it. Her Chinese has really progressed and she is already teaching us new words and phrases (sigh...).
Kenna just got a bike for her 3rd birthday (April 30) and has already spent hours riding around outside. She has always been a bit daring and a bit of a risk-taker, and is still taking several spills, falling off of tall objects she has climbed, etc. -- but at least she hasn't knocked herself out recently. :-)
Anaya is another very easy-going baby (for which we are very grateful!), she loves to smile and "talk" and giggle at her sisters' antics. At present she is into chewing on everything she can get her hands on, pulling hair, and loves her rice cereal and carrots.
Blessings to you all!
Lots of love from Taiwan,
Michael, Amy, Elise, Kenna, & Anaya

Hi Steven's family! This site is great and I loved the update and picture. Congrats on the new baby! That came as a surprise b/c I didn't know you were pregnant! :-) The family is adorable as ever. I'm not even sure how you guys function, as busy as you are. It's great to hear all you are doing though to build up leaders and teachers.
