Dear brothers & sisters,

Lately, the core members of the Mission and Outreach Department have been spending some time listening to each member and identifying what the Lord has put into their hearts. Moreover, I have been giving overall spiritual direction in the Mission and Outreach Ministry. I have already posted both of the redefined Mission and Outreach Ministry focus on the Mission and Outreach Bulletin Board at the back of the Sanctuary and basement EM Bulleting Board.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank God for giving Bethel many brothers and sisters who are passionate about leading others to our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe there are more brothers and sisters in three of our congregations who would like to get involved and participate in the work of God in our church, community, and the world. Our team would like to walk alongside and empower you to do greater things.

This year our BCMB Conference has called all MB churches to go back to the Great Commission given by our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:16-20. The reason why our conference leaders instructed MB churches across BC to go back to the basics is because we have done many programs within the church and yet have forgotten all those training, learning, and practicing the way of Jesus were meant to make an impact on someone’s life outside of the church!

Apostle Paul mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:24-25, “…But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.” Just as Paul mentioned, we as leaders of the church would like to give each member at Bethel greater honor and train you up. Listen, brothers and sisters, everything we do in the church has a purpose; it is for the purpose of disciple-making. Our church leadership would love to empower the whole church, young and old, to participate in the work of God with confidence. However, we cannot disciple our church members unless there is commitment and participation.

Our Mission and Outreach Department are both currently trying to recruit more people to serve. In the meantime, our Mission Department will evaluate our current financial support to all of the mission organizations. As for Outreach Department, we have already begun developing new outreach ministries as well as planning for workshops. Please stay tuned for more information.

We would like to have a great conversation with you and see what the Lord has given in your hearts. Please talk to our pastoral team or Mission or Outreach Department head Ken Hu to arrange a time to seek the Lord together!

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at peter.chong@bethelmb.org. Please continue to pray for our church.  Thank you.

In Christ,
Pastor Peter Chong

 

親愛的兄弟姊妹，

最近，宣教和外展部的核心成員花了一些時間傾聽每個成員的心聲，並確定主在他們心中給的異象。此外，我也在宣教和外展事工中給予整體的屬靈指導。我已經將重新定義的使命和外展事工重點張貼在大堂後便的走廊和地下室EM公告板後面的公告板上。

我想藉此機會感謝神賜給頌主堂許多熱衷於帶領他人歸向我們的主耶穌基督的弟兄姊妹。我相信在我們的三個會眾中，有更多的弟兄姊妹願意參與神在我們的教會、社區和世界的工作。我們的團隊願意與您並肩同工，並賦予您更大的力量。

今年，我們的BCMB大會呼籲所有MB教會回到我們的主耶穌基督在馬太福音28：16-20中給予的大使命。我們的大會領袖之所以指示卑詩省各地的MB教會回歸本源，是因為我們在教會內做了許多計劃，卻忘記了所有那些訓練、學習和實踐耶穌的方式，都是為了對教會以外的人的生命產生影響！

使徒保羅在哥林多前書12：24-25中提到，「...但神配搭這身子，把加倍的體面給那有缺欠的肢體，免得身上分門別類，總要肢體彼此相顧 。」正如保羅所提到的，作為教會的領袖，我們願意給頌主堂的每一位成員更大的榮譽，並培訓你們。弟兄姊妹們，請理解，我們在教會裡所做的一切都是有目的的；這是為了栽培門徒。我們的教會領袖希望賦予整個教會力量，無論男女老少，都能滿懷信心地參與神的工作。然而，除非有委身和參與，否則我們無法培訓我們的教會成員。

我們的宣教部和外展部目前都在努力招募更多的人來服事。與此同時，我們的宣教部將評估我們目前對所有宣教組織的財政支援。至於外展部，我們已經開始發展新的外展事工，並計劃舉辦講習班。請繼續關注更多資訊。

我們想和你好好交談，看看主在你們心裡給了什麼異象。請與我們的牧團隊或宣教或外展部負責人Ken胡交談，安排時間一起尋求主！

請繼續關注未來幾天的更多細節。如果您有任何問題或疑慮，請隨時與我聯繫peter.chong@bethelmb.org。請繼續為我們的教會禱告。謝謝。

在基督裡，
張俊德傳道
