Walking by faith

Todd and Crista have been married since 1994. They met at the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor in Belton, Texas from which they both graduated. After they married, Todd worked at UMHB and Crista started teaching school. Todd had experienced a call to ministry in high school but didn’t know exactly how that would play out, thankfully God had been working through a series of Godly men in his life to disciple and prepare him for what was in store.

The Blackhurst Family Journey

Since moving to Taiwan in June 2013, Todd has become fairly fluent in Mandarin Chinese (two years of full time language study) and is now able to carry out ministry in both English and Chinese. Mandarin is ranked one of the most difficult languages in the world for native English speakers to learn.

Started Taichung International Fellowship as an outreach to reach Taiwanese and to serve expatriates living in Taiwan. (Average attendance is 150 with an active membership over 100)

Started Outreach Bible studies on five university campuses.

Students are coming to faith regularly, being discipled and becoming involved in local churches.

Started a mission internship for young people to come and experience missions.

Planted Hope Fellowship, our first Taiwanese church.
