All Morrison expatriate personnel are missionaries in the sense that they are led of God, contribute to the overall evangelism of Taiwan in a supportive capacity, and teach and disciple the students with whom they come into contact daily. Because of this, all head-of-household, expatriate personnel are required to affiliate with a mission. The partnership is intended to provide a connection to a bigger picture of the missionary endeavor. This relationship helps to reinforce the purpose of the school–to meet the educational needs of the children of missionaries throughout Taiwan, helping fulfill Christ’s commission to go into all the world. Additionally, it provides a link of fellowship, encouragement, and spiritual support outside the school community and potentially some helpful links to the Chinese people. In some cases the missions are able to help in case of hospitalizations or accidents, translation for puzzling utility bills, and so on. Although Morrison also assists with these, it is helpful to have an alternate resource. The amount of help from a mission depends entirely on that mission organization. Some of the missions with a significant Taiwan presence are listed below. Missions’ expectations for Morrison staff that they partner with vary greatly but nearly all will expect some interaction on a regular basis, and some have other expectations as well.
