牧師及董事會伉儷

疫情不知不覺地跟了我們3年多,我們教會的親身敬拜也逐漸進行。它被視為新常態,但實際上它是基督徒對在這個時代結束時應該做什麽和如何進行的覺醒。一些人寧願被可怕地隱藏起來,另一些人則積極地把這次危機當作擴大他國度的機會。讚美主,FECDB 采用後者。我們的教會通過變焦小組、郊遊、面對面的聚會和探訪,在許多方面都出人意料地成長。

沒有人能阻止他的福音!問題是我們是否願意在他回來之前繼續他的工作。瘟疫和自然災害頻發,令人灰心喪氣,在我們眼前呈現出一幅慘淡的畫面。然而,這些都是欺騙性的和不真實的。作為基督徒,這是我們信靠祂並與祂得勝的榮耀相匹配的時候。

我們的牧者團隊不安於不斷地造就和裝備門徒,引導我們的弟兄姊妹在前所未有的時期依靠聖靈的帶領。他們的努力是無與倫比的,對許多人來說是鼓舞人心的。事實上,這些努力並非沒有挑戰和失望。但這些並不能阻止我們敬愛的牧靈團隊不斷推行我們的主放在他們心中的負擔。我們許多兄弟姐妹經歷轉變,與我們的主建立了更密切的關系!

讚美主,我們的 ACC 獨立了!他們堅持不懈地努力,堅持願景,他們迅速而忠實地成長。我們的鄉鎮模式在分享事工方面取得了成功和滿意。我們希望這種夥伴關系不僅是團隊合作,而且是為了培養我們青年人的信仰並仍然知道他是上帝。另一方面,ACC 團隊在基督里變得屬靈成熟,並在服務中活出祂的愛。

毫無疑問,今年充滿了不確定性和財務挑戰不過帶著興奮。我們的主是信實的!他為我們提供了屬靈的轉變和意想不到的十一奉獻。這是一個神奇的助推器!這告訴我們他是真實的,獨一且擁有的神!

“莊稼多,工人少。因此,求莊稼之主派遣工人進入祂的莊稼地。”讓我們忠心地侍奉他,隨時隨地聆聽他的呼召。他正在敲我們的門尋求服務;那麽我們準備好了嗎?我們願意嗎?至於先知以賽亞,他回答說:“我在這里,請差遣我!” 希望這也是我們的答案。

2022 Annual Report

Message from the Chairman

Message from the Chairman / Tom Lau

The pandemic has been unnoticedly with us more than 3 years, so do our church in-person worshipping gradually. It has been seen as new normal, but indeed it is an awakening to Christian on what and how to go on in this end of age. Some prefer to be hidden fearfully, other actively take this crisis as an opportunity to further His kingdom. Praise the Lord that FECDB takes the latter. Our church grows unexpectedly in many ways through zoom cell groups, outings, in-person gatherings and visitations. 

There is no one can stop His gospel! The question is whether we are willing to continue His works before His return. With pestilences and natural disasters occurred frequently, it is discouraged and presented an unhopeful picture before our own eyes. However, these are deceptive and untruth. As Christians, this is the time for us to trust in Him and match forward to His victorious glory. 

Our pastoral team unrests continuously making and equipping disciples, guiding our brothers and sisters in relying on the lead of the Holy Spirit in such unprecedent time. Their efforts are unparalleled and encouraging to many. In facts these efforts were not without challenges and disappointments. Well, these do not stop our beloved pastoral team steadfastly pursue what our Lord has put in their hearts. Many of our brothers and sisters have been transformed and having a closer relationship with our Lord! 

Praise the Lord that our ACC is independence! Their persistence endeavor and holding onto the vision, they grow rapidly and faithfully. Our township model in sharing ministries have been successful and satisfaction. We are hoping for this partnership not just as  routine teamwork but as to nurture our youth in faith and be still knowing He is God. On the other hand, the ACC team becomes spiritual mature in Christ and living out His love in service. 

Undoubtedly this year has been full of uncertain and financial challenges, but with excitements. Our Lord is faithful! He provides us with spiritual transformation and unexpected tithing. It is a miraculous booster! This tells us that He is real, the one and own God 

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest , therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.” Let’s serve Him faithfully and listen to His calling whenever and wherever He wants us to be. He is knocking on our door for service; then are we ready? Are we willing? As to prophet Isaiah, he answered, “Here I am, send me!” Hope this is our answer as well.
