5 Questions with...Matthew Farrell

1. How did you first get involved with Friendship Presbyterian?   I got involved with FPC when my family first arrived in Taiwan and was looking for a church. We visited a few, but worshiped at Friendship for a while before joining another church. Eventually, my family returned and we now attend regularly and are members. 

2. What do you do Monday through Saturday?  I attend school and come to the Friday Youth Meetings. Nothing special. Although, I do have Jiu-jitsu on Thursday mornings. 

3. What is something people might be surprised to learn about you?  I really, really like birds. I just think they are so cute and fluffy. Whenever I see one outside my window I get super excited as if I was a 2-year-old in a toy store. 

4. What do you find most challenging about being a Christian today? I find it challenging when it comes to not conforming to mainstream mindsets. There are so many controversial topics today and it can be challenging to look at everything from a Biblical worldview when everyone around you does not. 

5. What is one of your favorite books of the Bible, and why?  I really like Hosea, because it gives such a powerful picture of our relationship with God. He gives us everything and we forget it so easily, but He pulls us back onto our feet every time. It is also kind of romantic, and I like that. Hee-hee!
