Serving the Lord in Taiwan
Bio
Barbara Rebentisch serves the Lord through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) in Taiwan, based in Chiayi. In this role, she translates and interprets between Mandarin and English to facilitate the communication of the Gospel in the Chinese-speaking world. Barb has been working since January 2022 toward a master’s degree in Deaconess Studies from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. She will complete the coursework in December 2024. In Taiwan, her service builds relationships with the community and leaders, sharing the Gospel with them through the written and spoken Word, and helping them to do the same with their neighbors.
Barb’s hometown is Paullina, Iowa, where she attended Zion Lutheran Church and School. She currently is a member of King of Kings Lutheran Church in Roseville, Minn. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Concordia University Nebraska, Seward. She earned her master’s degree from Doane University in Crete, Neb. Her hobbies include reading, music, walking, chatting with friends and watching crime dramas.
Over the years, Barb has been heavily involved in ministry and service to the people of Taiwan. She helped with youth ministry, was an evangelistic social worker, worked in counseling services and taught English as a Second Language (ESL) classes in various cities throughout this country. In addition, she worked as a clinical supervisor for Lighted Path Recovery Services and as a counselor in the State of Nebraska Corrections system.
Prayers
Pray for Barb as she serves in Taiwan. Ask God to give her good health as she embarks on this journey. Pray that she has clear thinking and clear expression in all that she communicates.

Let us give thanks to God that Barb is serving His children in this part of the world.
