Mission co-workers the Rev. Choon and Yen Hee Lim serve with the Aboriginal College Ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT). After they completed two years of Mandarin language study in Taipei, the PCT asked the Lims to move to Hualien to plant a campus ministry.

The PCT introduced them to aboriginal pastors and several college students in Hualien, but the progress of the ministry was slow. The Lims continually prayed and sought God’s help. One day they went to the Tai-Chang Amis tribes Presbyterian Church to attend a worship service. Afterward, a National Teachers College student, Komod, asked Choon to visit one of his college meetings. Choon and Komod prayed together that a new Christian group would be formed in his school. Later, Komod brought his aboriginal friends to the mission center for the Aboriginal College Ministry, where everyone prayed together for the birthing of a new Christian group.

That small group became the first Christian campus ministry group in Hualien. Within two years, there were Christian groups at the two universities and four colleges in Hualien. Komod became the first chairperson of the Aboriginal College Committee to which each Christian group sends two representatives. Now more than twenty students from the National Teachers College gather in the mission center for Bible study and other activities every Friday.
