A Year in Reflection — 2025
Looking back on this year, my heart is full of gratitude and awe at how God has worked in and through our Missions family.
Since our Prayer Retreat, where we sought the Lord’s guidance together, this year has been one of stretching, learning, and growth in character through mission trips that deepened our compassion and broadened our perspective. Time spent with Afghan families reminded me of the power of presence and the beauty of building bridges across cultures and faiths.
The Prayer Retreat this year was well attended. The ten ministry partners supported by FECA shared powerful stories about what God is doing around the world.
A special highlight was visiting my former workplace in East Asia, where I once served with Charis Development Company. I marvel at God’s grace in blessing the seeds planted years ago, which have now grown and are bearing fruit.
My son and daughter-in-law joined me on this trip to revisit the place where my son was raised. The familiar food, smells, sights, and sounds evoked precious memories of our time with the villagers, once again reminding us of God’s goodness and faithfulness. I was deeply encouraged to see all my former staff members thriving in their walk with the Lord and continuing in faithful service.
During another trip—to Cyprus—I witnessed scores of believers praying fervently for the wider world, demonstrating passionate perseverance. It was an inspiring reminder that God is stirring hearts across nations for His purpose.
Serving families with disabilities alongside FEC Arcadia members in three provinces of the Philippines—Cavite, Iloilo, and Davao—was another humbling and heartwarming experience, as we witnessed the beauty of God’s love expressed through care, worship, and community.
I am also grateful to have assisted, together with Anchor Community Church, in mobilizing, supporting, and sending out a sister to South Asia. What a joy it is to see God calling and equipping His people to minister to the nations.
Our recent Praise and Worship Joint Missions Conference was another great encouragement. Attendance exceeded expectations, with over 500 participants on Friday evening and more than 350 on Saturday. We thank God for His presence throughout the worship, messages, workshops, and missions fair. We are deeply touched and sincerely grateful for the numerous volunteers who served joyfully behind the scenes.
Key lesson learned: God is good and faithful. He loves His creation deeply and will send anyone willing to do His will, young or old.
As I prepare for retirement from FECA, my hope and prayer is that the next generation will rise up with renewed zeal for Global Missions—to live out what “M.I.S.S.I.O.N..” truly means:
M – Meeting people where they are
I – Intentionally engaging individuals
S – Sharing the gospel with love
S – Showing the way of salvation
I, O, N – In our own neighborhoods or in other nations
May we continue to go where He leads, love whom He brings, and proclaim His name to the ends of the earth.
Glory to God in the Highest!
2025年回顧
回顧今年神在我們宣教大家庭中所作的工，使我心中充滿感恩與敬畏
。
從我們在禱告退修會中，一同尋求主的引導開始，透過短宣旅程，今年是一個被神擘開、學習並在品格上成長的一年。我們的憐憫心被加深，眼界也被擴展。透過服事阿富汗家庭提醒我神臨在的力量，以及跨越文化和信仰之間架起橋樑的美麗。
今年的禱告退修會有很好的出席率，「聯會」所支持的十位事工夥伴分享了神在世界各地奇妙作為的見證。
今年其中一個特別的旅程，是探訪我曾在東亞服事的工場，那裡是我過去在「華恩公司」服事的地方。我驚嘆神的恩典，當年所撒下的種子，如今已經生根發芽並結出果實。
這次旅程，我的兒子連同他太太也一同前往。回到他成長的地方，熟悉的食物、氣味、景象與聲音勾起許多寶貴回憶，再一次提醒我們神的美善與信實。看到我昔日的同工如今仍然堅定地與主同工，忠心事奉，令我大受激勵。
另外塞浦路斯（Cyrus）之旅同樣深具啟發性。我親眼見證許多信徒為世界迫切禱告，展現出熱切與恆久的心志，強烈提醒我：神正在各國攪動人心，成就祂的旨意。
我與阿凱迪亞教會的弟兄姊妹在菲律賓三個省份（Cavite、Iloilo 和 Davao），一同服事有身心障礙成員的家庭。透過服事、敬拜與群體生活，我們看見神的愛真實地流露，這是一段既謙卑又溫暖的經驗。
我也很感恩能與ACC教會（Anchor Community Church）一同動員、支持並差派一位姊妹前往南亞。看到神呼召並裝備祂的子民去服事萬邦，是何等的喜樂！
最近舉行的「讚美與敬拜聯合宣教特會」是神給與我們額外的鼓舞。與會人數超乎預期，週五晚上有超過 500 人，週六則有超過 350 人參加。無論在敬拜、信息、工作坊，還是宣教展覽攤位中，我們都深深感受到神的同在。衷心感謝那些幕後眾多的弟兄姐妹的同工，因著他們甘心樂意的忠心服事，使宣教特會順利進行，也使我們深受感動。
今年的關鍵功課： 神是良善又信實的。祂深愛祂所造的，不論年長或年幼，祂都願意使用任何一位願意遵行祂旨意的人。
當我預備從「聯會」退休之際，我的盼望與禱告是下一代能以更新的熱情投身普世宣教，真正活出「M.I.S.S.I.O.N.」的意義：
-
M – 在人所在之處與他們相遇（Meeting people where they are）
-
I – 有意識地與人建立連結（Intentionally engaging individuals）
-
S – 以愛分享福音（Sharing the gospel with love）
-
S – 指明救恩之路（Showing the way of salvation）
-
I, O, N – 無論在我們自己的鄰舍，或在其他國家（In Our Neighborhoods or In Other Nations）
願我們繼續跟隨神的帶領，到被祂差遣所到之地，愛那些被祂帶到我們身邊的人，並將祂的名傳到地極。
所有榮耀頌讚歸於至高神！
