Lynne's Birthday
Zap welcomes all of us...
I just got back from a trip to Hong Kong, where I had the great privilege and joy to meet with various regional leaderships, the full-time staff, and preach at a Bring-Your-Neighbor-Day. Like Jay, I’ve put in photos this time—ah-men.
Steve and Jane Chin—who are coming to our summer Northwest Christian Conference—are leading the nearly 1900-member HK church now and doing a truly amazing job. I’ve rarely seen such work and innovation. I don’t dare print here all the initiatives that the Chins have implemented in the last 12 months lest I overwhelm our local disciples! I will say, however, that we’re all close to being on the same page.
Anyway, the HK church is growing again, baptizing again, and hopefully soon we will be able to access video updating from their website. They are steadfast in planting churches in China (nearly 20 now) and can certainly use our ongoing sacrifices. Let us not grow weary in supporting them in a mission to “win as many as possible.” Isn’t it kind of jolting, in our Western-centric world—to think that if we do that, then heaven will have more Chinese people in it than any other??
