EAST ASIA. The Taiwanese couple was devout Buddhists: so devout that the husband had participated in Buddhist ritualistic ceremonies and the wife had mutilated her scalp and body with burns to reflect that devotion. Together they had performed acts of service and given money to appease the Buddha that they were worshiping. But when an earthquake devastated Taiwan in 1999, the couple suffered tremendous financial loss. They begged their gods for deliverance, but no help came. Finally in desperation, they began to listen to the witness of their daughter who had accepted Christ while studying in the United States. Even though they had resisted her witness many times, she had persisted in calling and even faxing to them from America to tell them about Jesus. They finally turned to Jesus to save them and to carry their burdens. Now they speak boldly of the one and only true God who lives and reigns in their hearts.
