Exceeding Expectations

Posted on September 12, 2025

My journey of serving with SALT began on December 1, 2006, and has now spanned over 18 years. Each time I reflect on this chapter of my life, I am filled with gratitude—it has truly been an immense blessing and privilege for me. Before joining SALT, I knew almost nothing about ministry in East Asia. Yet even as a part-time staff member in the beginning, SALT welcomed me with open arms and offered invaluable learning opportunities. Most notably, I was given the chance to visit the mission field in person, observe...

Building Families on a Foundation of Love

Posted on July 14, 2025

Families are being transformed at SALT’s training site Beef where senior trainer David recently taught our practical course, Christian Home. This course helps believers in East Asia to better understand and practice biblical principles of marriage and parenting. One sister gratefully reported back, “My husband had not yet trusted in the Lord, but he attended the course with me. During the course, he was deeply moved. Afterwards, he committed his life to Christ! When we returned home, he was so excited to share with friends about his new-found faith. Thank the Lord!” Another student resolved,...

Raising Up the Fourth Generation

Posted on May 13, 2025

  As our ministry approaches its 30 year anniversary, we find ourselves facing a new wave of adverse weather and economic downturns that bring fresh obstacles. However, we remain steadfast in our mission, as it is a calling from God and a path paved by our predecessors who have handed over the baton to us. SALT has now been passed down through three generations since the 1990s. To fulfill the calling of the Lord, we are actively training young fourth-generation co-workers, hoping that they will continue the legacy and carry the flame into...

Time for Rejuvenation

Posted on March 6, 2025

  “Out with the old, in with the new” – much as SALT will always treasure our seasoned trainers, there comes a time when letting go is unavoidable.   In recent years, the aging of our sages has presented our East Asia team with a challenge for change. This has become evident in both the areas of training and curriculum development work. In response, SALT has determined that the overarching objective for the next two years is to strengthen the cultivation of fresh talent, in preparation for a smooth succession. Towards the end of...

Challenges Persist in 2025

Posted on January 6, 2025

  Amidst the ongoing global turbulence, we have now entered 2025. As we bid farewell to last year and welcome the new, it is only natural to reflect on the past and to look ahead. Most importantly, we endeavor to maintain a heart of gratitude no matter the circumstances. Over the past decade, our ministry has been met with many challenges. Yet, the greater the difficulty, the more evident God’s grace. Our experience during 2024 was no exception.   Adverse Weather Continued  “The weather last year was fair during the first half but gradually deteriorated in the...

Give Thanks for Goals within Reach

Posted on November 14, 2024

Defying the odds, SALT’s training ministry has continued to thrive in 2024! Although the overall environment remains tense, 32 training events have been completed as of the end of October. We give thanks that our annual goal of 40 trainings appears within reach, provided the weather (let the reader understand) doesn’t further deteriorate. We also give thanks that our yearly goal to add two new training sites has been attained. We plan to begin their Three-Year Certificate Program in 2025.Rejoice with us over the on-schedule revision of our Old Testament 4 (OT4) course after two years...
