To help further that incredible vision, we are both preparing to serve the Lord in Taiwan, with a shared focus on reaching university students for Christ! We believe that the university years are such a pivotal time in a young person's life, and we are passionate about investing in the next generation of Taiwanese leaders. Our heart is to see vibrant, disciple-making movements flourish on campuses across Taiwan.As a couple, we will be working together to win students to Christ, build them up in their faith journey, and send them out equipped to share Jesus with their peers, their families, and ultimately, the world. We envision helping to establish thriving student communities where faith is explored, questions are welcomed, and lives are changed by the power of the Gospel. We're excited to build relationships and discover all the unique ways God will invite us to partner with Him in what He's already doing in Taiwan. We can't wait to see Taiwanese students come to know Jesus and become passionate ambassadors for Him! 

We are both so thrilled to be reporting full-time to this new ministry assignment in Taiwan soon... If you have any questions about our upcoming work with students in Taiwan (or would just like to grab a cup of coffee and talk more!) please feel free to reach out to us at jared.melton@cru.org.

Yours for the Completion of the Great Commission,

Jared and Illy
