Carter, Brenda

Brenda has been serving on the mission field with MTW since 1986. After two years teaching English at Christ’s College in Taipei, Taiwan, Brenda started helping an MTW church plant among the Hakka Chinese in San Yi, two hours south of Taipei. The Hakka are classical Han Chinese who have their own distinct culture and language. Only 0.35 percent of the over 4 million Hakkas in Taiwan are Christian. In 1994, the San Yi church plant joined the Hakka Association of Churches, whose national leadership Brenda had been working with ever since.

Brenda’s church-planting work over the years has included evangelism and discipleship, Bible teaching, coordinating women’s retreats, hosting mission teams, translation, English outreach, and prison and drug rehab ministry. Brenda has also served on the board of the Hakka Missions Seminary since its inception in 2000, taught extension courses, and served on the building committee which saw the completion of the seminary’s building in 2016.

Pray for Brenda’s future ministry in which Brenda will utilize her 30 years of missions experience to help train and encourage national and international church planters and missionaries.
