CHURCH PLANTING PROGRAM CPP - CONSIDERED THE CORE PROGRAM OF NETCA'S MISSION OUR CPP HAS STARTED AND SUSTAINS THREE CHURCH LOCATIONS IN NORTHEASTERN TAIWAN. THEY ARE LOCATED IN AODI FULONG AND DASI VILLAGES. IN 2022 ATTENDANCE WAS STILL DOWN AND SOMETIMES ONLINE DUE TO TAIWAN GOVERNMENT COVID REGULATIONS. BEFORE JUNE AND AFTER OCTOBER REGULATIONS WERE LIFTED AND CHURCH ATTENDANCE BEGAN TO TRICKLE UPWARDS AGAIN. HOWEVER DURING THE FIVE MONTHS THAT WE ONLY HAD CHURCH SERVICES ON GOOGLE MEET WE STILL HAD SOME FIXED EXPENSES FOR EACH CHURCH. WHEN WE GATHERED IN THE CHURCHES WE SUNG UPLIFTING AND LIFE CHANGING PRAISE AND WORSHIP SONGS TO JESUS CHRIST AND TAUGHT AND PREACHED BIBLICAL NARRATIVES FROM A CHRISTIAN WORLD VIEW WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATION POINTING EVERYONE IN THE DIRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST GODLY MORAL BEHAVIOR AND LOVE FOR GOD AND PEOPLE THROUGH POST SALVATION GOOD WORKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE.

HOLY DAY PROGRAM HDP - NETCA HOSTED SPECIAL REGIONAL HOLIDAYS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THE THREE CHURCHES. THESE EVENTS WERE CENTERED ON EASTER THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS.

MISSION INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM MIP - CRUCIAL TO THE ONGOING PRACTICAL AND SPIRITUAL MATURITY TO THE CITIZENS IN NORTHEASTERN TAIWAN INFLUENCED BY NETCA'S CHURCH PLANTING AND SUSTAINING PROGRAM CPP IS THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE VOLUNTEERS HELPING US WITH OUR VARIOUS EVENTS AND PROGRAMS. MANY MATURE CHRISTIANS TRAVEL FROM LOCATIONS IN TAIWAN AND OTHER COUNTRIES TO VOLUNTEER WITH NETCA'S SERVICE PROGRAMS. WHEN THEY ARRIVE IT IS CRUCIAL THAT NETCA PROVIDES ROOM BOARD AND A LIVING PLAN SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON TEACHING COUNSELING AND CARING. OFTEN OLDER CHURCHES AND THEIR LEADERS BRING THEIR DISCIPLES TO SERVE WITH NETCA FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRAINING THEIR OWN DISCIPLES TO SERVE OTHERS. THEREFORE NETCA PROVIDES THESE GROUPS WITH EACH INVOLVEMENT FOR THEIR MISSION OR WITHIN OUR MISSION THUS MAKING IT EASIER TO PLANT CHURCHES AND MAKE DISCIPLES. APPROXIMATELY 20 MISSIONARIES INTERN AND OR VOLUNTEERS WERE INVOLVED IN NETCA'S MIP PROGRAM IN 2022. EXPENSES FOR MIP INCLUDE DORMITORY RENTS UTILITIES AND MAINTENANCE. ALSO GROUND TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM SERVICE CONTRACTS TEACHING SUPPLIES OFFICE EXPENSES MEALS AND NON-EDIBLE CONSUMABLES AND TOILETRIES.
