Becoming God's Miracle

I attended God’s Miracle – Equipping God’s People Conference today. I learned so much in the classes of “How to Become a Contagious Christian”, “Churches Creatively Connecting in Community”, and “Leadership Lessons from Jethro”. New ideas are generated from all the teachings.

For the Chinatown community:

Christmas evangelism

HCCMGC has been hosting children evangelism event in Christmas time, but the low attendance in the past three years urges me to change, and to do something different. If we keep stepping on the past footsteps, we can never learn. I had no idea what to do until today.

During Christmas time, all churches have special programs for children and adults, and one of the mission statements of HCCMGC is to serve churches. Instead of hosting duplicate programs and draging resources around, why don’t we focus on being a servant of churches this year? What will the churches need from us? I can’t be sure until we ask the church leaders.

Some things that I can think of are to help their event promotion, or to provide transportations to and from Chinatown for the participants. What about starting a children choir for Christmas, and let it sing in different churches as part of their Christmas program? Any other ideas?

Christmas present delivery and visitation: We really act as a bridge of churches and the community!

1. Request survey from our newsletter. The purpose of the survey is to find out the need of the community.
2. Those who respond will get a Christmas present.
3. We cooperate with churches. The churches that participate will get a name list. Brother and sisters from that church will adopt a family for the Christmas present and prayer.
4. Around Christmas time, HCCMGC will arrange visitation for the church representatives to deliver the present, and they can either invite them to their Christmas events and to preach the gospel.

For Hawaii Kai or any communities:

I learned some excellent and easy ways to outreach!

Cover your city with Prayer was hold in churches in San Diego. Participants choose 5 neighbors to pray for. Certainly, they had to visit the neighbor and find out what they need to pray for. After a committed period, the participants invite the involved neighbor for dessert or coffee, follow up and build relationship with them, then bring them to church!

Join parades, set up booths in public events, adopt schools and help their school projects....
