Bio

Brian and Erin are both natives of Michigan. Brian accepted Christ when he was about 5 years old. God soon gave him an interest in ministry and missions. As he grew up, that interest deepened to a conviction that God was calling him to a life of ministry. He and Erin met while enrolled at Bob Jones University. Erin grew up hearing the Gospel and personally put her faith in Christ when she was 15.

Both were deeply influenced by missionaries who visited the churches they attended. They were also impressed by experiences on the mission field. As part of Erin’s bachelor’s degree in Christian missions, she completed a summer internship with GFA missionary Michael Berbin in Papua New Guinea. After completing a bachelor’s degree in Bible, Brian spent a year in a ministry in South Korea.

Convinced she should thoroughly prepare to evangelize, disciple, and counsel women on the mission field, Erin went on to earn a master's degree in theology. Brian returned to BJU to earn both a master's degree in Bible and an MDiv degree.

During seminary studies, God used a burden for Chinese people to direct them to Taiwan. This relatively small island has around 23 million residents. Most are ethnic Chinese. Few are Christians.

During their first term in Taiwan (2015-2019), they focused primarily on language study. As their language skills improved, they became more involved in the church started in 2005 by their coworkers. But the most rewarding ministry was with unsaved friends they made through language classes or in their neighborhood.

In 2020 the Bollons moved to another district in their city to start a new church, Good New Baptist. They spread the Gospel through personal encounters, church events, and evangelistic activities. In 2024 the Lord unexpectedly brought a small group of international students to them, leading to the development of a bilingual service and an English Bible study. They continue their efforts to establish a stable local church through worship services, prayer times, church activities, and both group and personal Bible studies.

The Bollons have also enjoyed opportunities for ministry with other churches, including directing a summer youth camp in 2023 and 2025.

Brian and Erin’s children are Isabel (2007), Emmett (2009), Arthur (2010), Owen (2012), and Walter (2020). Jonas (2019) is already with the Lord.
