Dwight & Beckie Johnson – The Johnsons, Taiwan 1986

Thank you for your interest in the Johnsons.

Dwight and Beckie raised five children that split their formative years between Hillsboro, Oregon, and Taichung, Taiwan. We retired from our positions on the Taichung Campus of Morrison Academy in June 2019. Dwight taught computers, math, science, and Bible. Beckie was a part-time school nurse.

Dwight and Beckie now live full-time in Oregon with Beckie’s mom to help her. Dwight also gets to visit his mom often. A bonus is getting to see their six grandchildren more often.

Dwight hopes to serve as a volunteer mobilizer at Corban University for WorldVenture once the Covid lockdown is lifted.
