For those of you wishing to share your faith with Taiwanese, I'd recommend the following study:

Here are some readings I suggest as well as some questions I think you need to answer or derive from the readings. Most of it is geared specifically for Taiwan. Some of the final questions could be researched on the internet, but you need to have good answers for them. You need to be conversant and be able to interact with these things because in your preaching and sharing you need to know where the Taiwanese people are coming from in their thinking so that you can pre-empt false thinking -- take thoughts captive. You will also then be better able to explain things in a way that the listener really understands. If you are ignorant of the way they are thinking, their interpretation of what you are saying will be totally different from what you are intending to say.
