Mission News
- From March to November 2018, the Mission department will launch HWC's "Mission Journey in Seven Minutes" program. The program will be on the 4th Sunday of each month except in April and August, which will be on the 3rd Sunday.
The program aims to help brothers and sisters understand a number of important aspects of mission, such as the impact of social status around the world, the importance of their needs, the significance of praying. The program hopes to enlighten us that our Lord loves the world, that there are people of different nations and the needs of these people. These objectives are achieved through:
(a) Recordings of sharings from pastors and Mission department members;
(b) A series of short films called Pray for All Nations;
(c) Prayers from our church. - Pray for North Korea:
Pray for Almighty God to help the people living in poverty and emptiness.
Pray for those who are preaching the Gospel, to persevere in their persecution and hardship.
Pray for Truth to reign and God's righteousness to be revealed, so that the nation and the people will repent and turn to God.
Prayer Items for the Week
Pray for brothers and sisters’ heart to apply the church motto in their life – Having the same mind as Christ.
Pray for a smooth resource consent application process for our church expansion project.
May God give all deacons, department heads and congregation committee the strength and wisdom to serve Him wholeheartedly. Also to unify and lead the church to become a light in the community.
Pray for Pastor Mark Wen, the newly appointed pastor of the Mandarin congregation. May God give him ability and wisdom to shepherd the members of the Mandarin congregation.
