I Love Taiwan Mission (ILT)

Formosa's Voice

中文版本

Looking back on the 160-year mission journey of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, we remember the contributions of missionaries from around the world, such as Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell from Scotland, who arrived in Taiwan in 1865, and Rev. Dr. George Leslie MacKay from Canada, who came in 1872. Alongside them, countless local Christians, including Rev. Kao Chun-Ming and Rev. Hsieh Wei, followed Jesus Christ and responded with their lives to "Formosa's Voice"—God’s call for mission in Taiwan. Because of their dedication, the Presbyterian Church has advocate the Gospel throughout this land, embodying the faith confession of the PCT: "And through love and suffering becoming the sign of hope. "

In 2025, "I Love Taiwan Mission" calls on the youth to answer the "Formosa's Voice." Let us learn, service and visit churches around Taiwan, receive and experience God’s abundant love and grace. Through their participation and service in ILT, youth from Taiwan and beyond will not only witness the beauty of Taiwan, but also broaden a deeper love and appreciation for this land, extend participants’ global vision, foster mutual encouragement, and promote spiritual growth.

We’re welcoming all the churches to apply the "I Love Taiwan Mission" program. By receiving and hosting the international youth and young adults ,local churches would have a great opportunity to provide their congregations with valuable experience of ecumenical learning, collaboration and service, which is precious and inspiring.

May the Lord bless and guide us, so that youth and churches from Taiwan and around the world may come together in ILT 2025 to witness 160 years of the PCT’s mission journey and the marvelous works of God in Taiwan. May this mission inspire young people in their faith, deepen their understanding of God, themselves, Taiwan, and the world, and help them discern and respond to God’s calling for their lives in this generation—"Formosa's Voice."

Support us

You might have heard of or participated in "I Love Taiwan Mission Camp (ILT)". The overseas participants serve in different types of local churches in Taiwan such as indigenous, urban or rural churches.

Some of these churches lack funds and co-workers to carry out the mission tasks. We, therefore, welcome your prayer and support.
