Rev. Mark and Mrs. Ruth Harbour (Taiwan)

Rev. Mark and Mrs. Ruth Harbour served with SEND International in Taiwan for 31 years and joined Visions Made Viable in Feburary 2016. They first arrived in Taiwan on November 9 1993 and since then, they had the privilege of planting five churches in Taiwan.  From 1997 to 2010, Rev. Harbour taught Church History at several schools, including Taosheng Seminary and Hakka Mission Seminary.  Mrs. Harbour helped translate LifeWay Resources "A Journey of Faith," and is training others in the use of FAITH tools and principles to perform evangelism and conduct visitations.   Rev. Harbour served several years in area administration.  

In 2010, when he was the Area Director for SEND international, God gave him the vision of "Taiwan Harvest 119" after over a year of study to determine the neediest areas of churches in Taiwan. Since March 2013, the Harbours left their Taichung City home and moved to the countryside of Dalin in Chiayi County (pop. 33,000).  They serve alongside national pastor Caspar Liou, to plant the Good Neighbor Caring Center in Dalin. Currently Rev. Harbour leads the missions team locally and from overseas to turn the vision of "Taiwan Harvest 119" into reality.

Missionary Marian Li

Marian was Born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, then immigrated to Japan with family at age 5, there she went to school and grew up. Her whole family eventually settled down in Taiwan. After high school, Marian immigrated to Northern America to further her study and work, until this day.

In 2004, while praying God placed a burden for Cambodia in Marian’s heart, and called her to ministry through the scripture from Isaiah 6:8b, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? ” Then I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!

During early 2006, Marian had an opportunity to get involved with a missionary organization to work in Cambodia; henceforth, she had many more opportunities to travel to Cambodia for either short-term mission or practical training. Through such experience she feels closer to this suffering country. Thank God for opening up Marian’s eyes to see the deepest desire and needs of Cambodian, which is God’s love. In response to God, Marian prayed the same prayer as Apostle Peter, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you.” Yes, I do not have either gold or silver, I can only give them what I have, which is God’s love, so they may know God, and they may have a life with hope and joy. This too is Marian’s burden for the Cambodian. Only Jesus can save people from oppression and bondage, people that are living in the power of the darkness; only Jesus can fill the void in their hearts and mind, and satisfy those seekers with joy, everlasting life, and the hope of God’s presence.

After 2006’s short-term mission in Cambodia, Marian enrolled in Logos Evangelical Seminary in response to God’s calling, and during 2007, she partnered with USA Care Ministries International as one of their co-workers. After graduation from seminary, she became a missionary in Cambodia in December of 2010.
