Early March in Hong Kong was quite cold. Pastor Kwon JohngHaeng and the Golden Angels put on sweatsuits over their clothes which didn't help very much. It was a big mistake to prepare only summer clothes thinking that Hong Kong is in the tropical zone. But the first week of March at Hong Kong Adventist College (HKAC) was rather heated. It was when the Gospel Week was held from March 8th to 13th with the title "The Shepherd's Love."

Although an Adventist school, most of its students are non-Adventists, so preaching to them the Biblical message was no easy task. The president, faculty, staff, and especially the chaplain PMM Pastor Cho HaeJun and sister Park EunHaSoo from the 1000MM had prepared with all their might, but it seemed as though we shouldn't expect too much.

It was the first time for the 7th Group of the Golden Angels to serve overseas. Whenever they had a chance, they approached students to talk and sing with them.

For HKAC mostly comprised of non-Adventists, it was a Gospel week and a time of festival rather than a week of prayer. There wasn't just one meeting a day, and all the breaks between classes were filled with programs. In lunch time, warm fuzzy, bible verse memorization contest, sharing presents, sharing testimonies, and tasting Korean food prepared by Mrs. Sung YooKyung (Pastor Cho HaeJun's wife) were being held simultaneously in different locations of the campus.

In the afternoon after classes were finished, various games and sports events were held, which were followed by praise and worship. Pastor Cho HaeJun and Park EunHaSoo were the key players in all these events. There are two factors that make Pastor Cho HaeJun successful.

First is prayer. Mrs. Leung, wife of Malay Peninsula Mission, studying theology at the school told to Pastor Kwon that no matter how early she goes to morning prayer meetings, Pastor Cho HaeJun is already kneeling there in prayer.

Second is disciple-making of students. All the programs are led by students and pastor Cho is just looking from the back with his arm's crossed. It is only possible because students have been previously trained. On the other hand, Park EunHaSoo, is always in action. As he was putting all his effort into this week, Pastor Cho caught cold and seemed to need some rest. Sister Park started the week by heading to the airport with students, and on Thursday came back home at eleven after buying presents in the market. Although I told her to go to bed early, she said she still had some work left to do for the following day. 

Pastor Kwon was being kept busy replying to students. More than fifty students signed up in Pastor Kwon's Face book and showed their appreciation for the message that touched their hearts. Pastor Kwon is still replying to students who write to him and encourage them to accept Jesus or keep their faith. Face book is functioning as a mighty tool for the gospel ministry.

Four students were baptized at the end of the Gospel Week, 22 decided to get baptized in the near future, and 40 signed up for Bible study. The four students that got baptized will be trained as Bible workers to help other students to accept Jesus.
