Our Prayer Support Letter

Here is a copy of our prayer support letter. It explains why we are going to Taiwan and how you can help. Thanks for sharing in our journey!

Kayt and I wanted to write and say a special thank you for your love and prayer in our lives. Jesus used you to bless us and prepare us for each other.

When people ask us what is new in our lives, we feel as if we have an overwhelming amount of things to tell them. We are enjoying transitions to marriage and a rather nomadic lifestyle. After we celebrated our wedding, we returned to South Carolina to attend several friends’ weddings and to sell our belongings. Soon we will travel to Wisconsin and Colorado to visit our families. Then, in a few short weeks, we will move to Taiwan to live and love Jesus.


Why Taiwan? Our identity in Christ calls for freedom from material possessions, love of neighbor apart from the places we feel comfortable, and a desire for people of all cultures to know Jesus. Kayt and I enjoy traveling and each spent time overseas before we met. When an opportunity arose to live in Asia and work to pay off our student debt, we decided to go for it. We believe God has given us grace to thrive in these types of environments and hope to begin our new lives together as a Jesus-centered family on mission in Taiwan.


God has provided abundantly during our preparations to leave. We acquired visas, passports and plane tickets with little difficulty. An American couple with over five years of experience teaching in Taiwan offered to let us live with them and show us the ropes until we find a place to live and get settled. Three of our friends already moved to Taiwan within the past weeks, and we look forward to supporting each other and living in healthy community together. We possess the tools for success because God has blessed us abundantly.


How can you help? Part of God’s provision for our travels includes the prayers of the saints—you! We do not need any monetary support or physical aid. However, we ask for your prayers. You have loved us at home, in previous travels, and now in our pilgrimage as a family. Please pray for us while we live and travel in Taiwan. Pray for our witness. May we love Jesus and each other in such a way that others see where we find our rest and know that they might rest there as well.

With love in Jesus,
Kalan and Kaytlin Spencer
