Carl and Kathy Collins left in the summer of 2006 on a two year mission in Taichung. The Collins were long-time members of the Metro Church of Christ in Gresham, Oregon, where Carl taught Bible classes and Kathy was involved in a Women's Abuse Recovery ministry. They intend to return to Vancouver after their two years in Asia, so they requested that Vancouver be their sending church.

Carl and Kathy both retired from the Reynolds Public Schools district. By invitation, they are teaching in Morrison Academy, a private school with emphasis in Bible instruction, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. They are acting as full-time substitute teachers for other instructors who are away.

The school espouses basic, common Christian beliefs. It has high academic standards and conducts regular chapel services.

The Collins are financially independent, but have asked for spiritual support and prayer cover from our congregation. Let's honor that request by lifting them up before God on a regular basis.

To keep up with what Collins are doing, you can email them.
