Roland and I (YK) spoke twelve times – at church, the YMCA, two Christmas parties, four youth camps, our 400-strong campus conference, and a wedding in Hong Kong (where I spoke for Sonia, a staff I’d mentored for years).

Our church also had three days of gospel campaign where we served as counselors. Praise God that 60 persons received Christ.

But it was not all work and no play.

It’s a special privilege

It brings us great joy reaching out to teenagers and campus students (this year I spoke 21 times to youth and campus groups). Teaching seminary students at EAST brings with it another kind of satisfaction. Here we mentor people who have already made that commitment to serve Christ. It’s a special privilege to help shape the hands and hearts of these future shepherds, missionaries, and church-planters.

Learning More!

You may know this already. I am sure I am not telling you anything new when I say that a teacher learns a lot more than his students. I am learning so much more preparing new classes than I ever remember learning as a student. This is especially true now that I am teaching more new classes than I ever have before. Read more

I just finished teaching Advanced Evangelism and Discipleship at East (East Asia School of Theology). As I was preparing this course, I asked the Lord for His input as to how I could help to grow the students in the practical aspect of evangelism and discipleship. The Lord impressed my heart to do field ministry with the students so that there would be a mutual observation, evaluation and learning. In the course of ten weeks, we had the privilege to witness to more than thirteen people and five accepted Jesus into their lives! I thank God for giving me the privilege to witness to the family members of some students. Besides witnessing, I also had the privilege to observe some students as they led their cell groups or discipleship groups. It is encouraging to see how God is equipping our students so that they can better equip others.
