A church on Nanhai Road established in 1950 by Lǐ Jìshèng (李繼聖), a Shandong-born evangelist affiliated with the Plymouth Brethren movement who had arrived in Taiwan in 1949 amid the Chinese civil war. The congregation follows the Brethren tradition of elder-led governance without ordained clergy. Li himself departed for Southeast Asia in 1952 to establish a sister assembly in Singapore, dying in Hong Kong in 1961.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
