The following is from 14:22's team blog...
Hey friends, family, and supporters!
Team 14:22 has made is safely to Danshui, in Taipei County, Taiwan! We're 13 hours ahead of Minnesota here, so we've had a little bit of adjusting to do, but we're all excited to be here and excited to be representing CTI in this amazing country! After 36 hours of travel, lots of time in airports, amazing food (potstickers and Bubble Tea, yum!), and a great apartment to stay in, we are starting to feel rested and prepared to play concerts here and build relationships with the people of Taiwan. Please pray for us as we continue to get settled here, please pray for our health (a number of us are sick, myself included!), and pray that we can be servants for God and share His love with everyone we encounter here in Taiwan.
With love on behalf of 14:22,
Lesley.

Honduras team to continue ministry
The CTI office has been monitoring the political situation in Honduras closely since last Thursday when it became evident that something significant would happen within the government there by Sunday. We spoke with the team leader several times on Thursday in advance of their departure to neighboring El Salvador (a ministry trip that had been planned since before the current events surfaced) and have been in touch with them throughout the weekend as well.
Team Leader Laura Schuh has informed us: "so far there's been no violence, and we are completely safe. We have been nowhere near the capitol city where all the protests are, and we're not going to be anywhere near it when we go back." We have also been in touch with our ministry partners in Honduras who are confident that there is no danger to our team, but are exercising additional measures of caution to ensure their safety.
Today (Monday) the intention is for the team to return to Honduras and continue their ministry as planned at a YFC camp in the Western state of Copan. The team has been registered with the US Embassy in Honduras, who is aware of their presence and their itinerary and is able to contact them should the need arise.
As of this writing, the U.S. State Department has not issued any travel watches or warnings for Honduras. The US Embassy in the Honduran capitol of Tegucigalpa did release a public announcement advising US citizens residing in Honduras to avoid unneccesary travel for the day. The notice also asserts that "Honduras’ borders remain open, and the airports remain open for regularly scheduled flights."
As of right now, we intend to continue our ministry in Honduras as planned while remaining informed of the situation there through multiple sources. You can read the team's personal updates on our website at ctimusic.org.

Summer, 2009 plans
CTI announces confirmation of all of our summer partnerships for 2009:
Round 1: (training June 2-15, overseas June 16 - July 14)
YFC Hong Kong
YFC Honduras
YWAM Taiwan
Round 2: (training July 7-21, overseas July 22 - August 17)
YFC Guatemala
YFC Serbia
Our target is to mobilize 55 young people on these teams in addition to leadership (5 teams with 11 members and 2 leaders on each team.)
CTI's summer ministry is one of the key ways we seek to support global missions and ministry through the impact of music while developing Christian leadership and character in young musicians. Please pray along with us for these five ministry partners, these 55 team members, and these 10 leaders: that those to whom we come might be changed because of our coming, and that those who go might be changed because of their going.
