Fifth Partnership Newsletter- July 2013

Dear my Partners,    

            “Aloha!” (The greeting word I learned from Honolulu last week. It can mean hello, welcome, farewell, and love!) 

Thanksgivings:

            A big thanks to God, last week I had a privilege to join together with over a hundred Chinese pastors and coworkers at the Chinese Churches Association Conference. As a scholarship fellow, I participated in the ministry enrichment program at the expenses of the Theological Training Committee of the C&MA. The program focused on: developing ministries among Chinese Americans in America, and engaging in worldwide missions, with emphasis towards Chinese people groups. Super thankful for the wonderful trip and eyes-opening experience and vision of the Chinese Churches. The fellowship program is a great blessing to many seminarians. Hallelujah!

Prayers Request:

            Please continue to pray for our parents’ salvation, health, and financial wellbeing. My sister went back to HongKong already and wanted to have baby. Please pray for her.

            Please also remember our summer intensive courses in prayer. We need strength, discipline, and wisdom. Eva is taking her last one of the summer: Group Process Therapy. I am taking: Hebrew 1 & 2 online, need extra discipline. Please pray that we will finish strong this summer.  

       

Timely words from the Letter to Philippians (My Partners): “A Love That Will Grow”

Philippians 1:6 (Amplified Bible)

“And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ right up to the time of His return, developing that good work and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.”

As always, thank you for your partnership with me, and with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to a great multitude of needy people throughout the whole earth.

May our Lord richly bless you and reward you on earth as well as in heaven!

Mahalo, (Hawaiian word for "thank you"!)
