Last week, C-Mo and I took a few of our disciples to Taiwan, so as to exhort and fellowship with the local branch churches in Douliu, Tainan and Kaohsiung. We made special allowance for a trip to visit Elder Chang Ching, who is the eldest working master of sculpture in Taiwan and indeed a national treasure. His artworks for our church include the magnificent “Spirit of the Almighty” placed before the Mercy Seat, and “Ancient Cross” situated at the ground floor entrance. Hearing the vision of “Planting Trees of Life everywhere in 52 years” and seeing how God has been […]
“Acceptable 2019” also means “Favorable 2019”. It was “Return 2018” last year, meaning that as we return to God, He shall accept us and return to us. This year, through Psalm 19, God tells us that He accepts us, and that 2019 shall be a year of Lord’s favor upon us: where God shall be gracious to us, bringing down many blessings on us. As 2019 begins, good news starts to pour in! On the 1st of January, right after Morning Devotion, several brothers and sisters came to me, to joyfully tell me they are now starting relationships. How happy […]
In March 2015 I came to Hong Kong. At first, I spent my Sundays wandering around and meeting new friends. One Sunday in July 2015, I was invited to 611 Sunday ANEW service and was greatly touched. Even though I was reluctant to come by myself, my cell leader kept encouraging me to come. Due to her persistent love and care, I was swayed into joining a cell group where I befriend other sisters and settle in this family. Later on I was baptized and attend equipping courses. As I root myself in ANEW, my life starts to change — […]
Last Sunday, ANEW concluded “Return 2018” with “Miss Thanksgiving Pageant” and “ANEW got talent” competition, what a memorable way to end 2018 and welcome 2019! Nine Filipino sisters and one Indonesian sister joined the pageant in which they shared how God had transformed their lives by His unfailing love and the sweet fellowship in ANEW.
Happy Year 2019! Praise the Lord for His overflowing grace from the beginning to the end of the year as good news keep pouring in. Over 1700 brothers and sisters took part in year-end prayer meeting of 2018, jam-packed the Mercy Seat and main hall of Wealthy Garden. Together, we counted the many gracious returns from God in “Return 2018”, welcoming 2019 which is forecast to see Holy Spirit flowing freely among us.
The first sermon in 2018, from Psalm 18, Pastor Joshua declared that God shall give us a victorious return. In hindsight , God has unceasingly performed signs and wonders, including the debut cruise carnival, the 8 unprecedented simultaneous musical and baptism, and 2 large scale musicals by Youth Army. We stand amazed at God’s revealed glory! Moreover, God has enlarged our territory by giving us Wonderful 611 and Carmel 611 here in Hong Kong. Not only did we hold network conference outside Hong Kong for the first time, we even held international pastor couples’ camp. Even more excitingly, we traversed the U.S. from west to east, rekindling the fire of prayer so […]
Last week, C-Mo and I brought our MG Leaders and Steering Committee to Kuching and Sabah in Malaysia for a year-end retreat. The Holy Spirit was with us, enlightening us in the Word of God and leading us to build deeper relationships in Him. I am grateful for the pastors and co-workers of our daughter church in Kuching, who took very good care of us in both catering and accommodation. We felt truly at home. Through living together and interacting with one another, we delighted ourselves in the abundance of God. Some of our MG Leaders sentimentally shared their life […]
Our branch church in Central, “Carmel 611” officially launched last Sunday. On this launch service, many cell members and bible school students attended, it was a day of exuberance indeed.
