Full text (GitHub): complete extract
In the NTPC foreword, Dr. Yeh Davis framed Lai’s work as both theological and prophetic: at a time when Taiwanese immigrant churches in North America were still in their infancy—especially |FPCLA, the first of its kind on the continent—Lai called the church to become a missional community, not merely a haven for immigrants.
Key themes:
- Spiritual call amid cultural transition
- From ethnic church to missional community — FPCLA as a “mission base”
- Hopeful community theology
- Unfinished mission across generations
