Chinese Union Mission (CHUM) did something different this year on its annual Mission Day. Instead of going to nursing homes, the staff led the Week of Prayer from October 27 to 31, 2014, at Tai Po Sam Yuk Middle School, one of the biggest Adventist schools in Hong Kong.
Getting the gospel message across to the youth is not an easy task. The CHUM team did a lot of thinking and preparing. Their goal was to make the Adventist faith more practical and yet distinctive from mundane issues.The theme was “faith that surpasses everything.”
The main speakers were Robert Folkenberg, Jr., president of CHUM, Daniel Jiao, CHUM executive secretary, and Elder Curtis Lai, an AWR local media technician within CHUM. At the beginning of each meeting, several CHUM staff shared their personal testimonies. Another team of four sisters from the office boosted the atmosphere with their beautiful singing.
The teachers and the students were greatly blessed. They responded with enthusiasm. One hundred and ninety-two decided to follow Jesus.Fifty-six wanted Bible studies. Sixty-six expressed adesire to attend church services.
May God continue to nurture these precious young people.
