The 2015 Taiwan PMM (Pioneer Mission Movement) Revival Meeting took place from August 31 to September 2, 2015, with the theme“Go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19). All eleven PMM missionaries in Taiwan participated in the revival meeting, which was held at Beitun Church in Taichung, Taiwan.
Elder Johnny Wong, who has been successfully planting new churches through discipleship training, was invited as a speaker. He presented an ideal modelof church growth, based on biblical principles, which isn’t solely about operating more church programs but making workers for Jesus who can spread the Gospel.
Elder Wong’s teachings were based on his own experience, which helped attendees in a practical way as well as encouraged them to have strong confidence in the growth of the church.
Dr. Jairyong Lee, president of the Northern Asia-Pacific Division (NSD), attended the meeting and preached a sermon at the opening service. “The most significant and urgent thing in our lives is the Holy Spirit. Without the presence of the Holy Spirit, we cannot do anything. We should be people of God who are under the influence of the Holy Spirit.”
Dr. Kim SiYoung, PMM coordinator of the NSD, led the commitment service. He also presented a progress report of the missionary work in each country within the NSD territories, not hiding the fact that the church is in great crisis in terms of growth.
Through this gathering, the PMM missionaries were reminded again of a strong need for the mission spirit and the urgency of their mission work.
