Religion In Taiwan
Religion in Taiwan is different than the belief system we
were use to in Thailand. In Thailand, Buddhism was main religion. However, in Taiwan the main religion is
Taoism. Add to that, a mix of Confucianism (an attitude of the importance of
family relationships) & Mahayana Buddhism.
If that isn’t enough, toss in a spoonful of ancestor worship practiced by most
Chinese on the island. On the first and the 15th day of each month,
many Taiwanese can be seen burning paper money to send to heaven to make life
more comfortable for their departed ancestors. This practice is a barrier to
Christianity because many old folks are afraid that when they die the younger
generation would no longer care for their spirits if they became Christian.

Thanks for sharing about all the different religions and customs that you are encountering. We will continue to pray for the spread of Christianity and for people's hearts to be open.
