Ministry Update


In the recent years, China has experience great economical advance but it comes with many problems. Material riches could never satisfy the emptiness in people’s hearts. Corruption, fornication and other crimes are rampant. Environmental pollution has brought serious health problems. Only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can remove all the sins and improve overall morality of the society. In the past 20 years, we have been mainly focused our ministry in the countryside, but recently more extended to the major cities in China. After my first encounter with God and filled with the Holy Spirit, I have served the Lord for almost 20 years. Since 1996 as I started full-time ministry, thank God for His provision through His people all over the world, we were able to minister to many churches both in China and overseas. Although we had faced strong opposition, especially from some church leaders, we looked to God and not men as He faithfully sustained us until this day.
Prayer Requests
2012 Itinerary
  • Jan 6-16: Honolulu, Hawaii
  • Feb: Oversea Mission
  • Mar: LA & SD, California
  • Apr: Oversea Mission
  • We hereby express our heartfelt gratitude towards our brothers and sisters’ support to our ministry’s Chinese mission, specially to those from oversea churches. Our ministry could not have accomplished our currently standing without your burden for the Chinese churches and your prayer and financially support. Please continue to pray for our ministry to China.
  • Recently we saw great changes in China. Worldly influences bring great impact to the church. The house churches in the past preached mainly on the way of the cross and endured persecution. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and expanded gospel mission with a vision. The city churches these days are easily influenced by the world to compromise on truth and many pursue prosperity, fame and success in this world. They still need your prayers!

Oct China

October Mission Trip to Northwest China

In October, I made a two-week mission trip to Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi provinces in Northwest China. We held meetings in 16 places and ministered to over 2,600 people. The focus of this trip was in the cities. Despite the limitation in meeting facilities, the Holy Spirit moved mightily among the city dwellers, especially the businessmen. They face all kinds of pressure in life and are in need of deliverance. They also need healings for many sicknesses as well as for the difficult issues in personal relationship. In the recent years, China has experience great economical advance but it comes with many problems. Material riches could never satisfy the emptiness in people’s hearts. Corruption, fornication and other crimes are rampant. Environmental pollution has brought serious health problems. Only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can remove all the sins and improve overall morality of the society. In the past 20 years, we have been mainly focused our ministry in the countryside, but recently more extended to the major cities in China.

After preaching, I prayed for the cancer patients on the platform, and then ministered to all the sick. A wheelchair-bound sister was carried up to receive prayer and then able to walk. Shouts of celebration erupted to praise God. Many with crutches also could walk on their own. Afterward, we travelled back to a city after midnight.

We arranged a meeting at an office the next evening, with   mainly businessmen. I preached on topic of the Holy Spirit and answered some questions. To my surprise, the Holy Spirit moved strongly and many fell in weeping. I realized how much they need the work of the Holy Spirit in the city. The next morning, we had a coworker meeting at a big factory. When I preached, it was quite distracting because of the echo and the noise. But we had plenty of space to pray for everyone at one time. Many were in tears and filled with the Holy Spirit. In the afternoon, I first prayed for the young people, and then they were filled with great joy.

We then took the high-speed rail to a city in Henan. The next morning, we met inside a large house in the mountain area.

I then gave an alter call for the couples and many came forward to receive prayers. I then blessed all the children and they fell down quietly. In recent years, there were many immigrants and students from China in Vancouver area. These churches are mostly consisted of immigrants from China and also open to the Holy Spirit. That is why I felt a special burden to minister here.

I rested during the week and ministered at Christ Worship Center on the following weekend. This church is mostly consisted of immigrants from Taiwan. We met at their new church building. It is almost completed except for the kitchen. The grace of God is abundant according to their faith, as He prepared such a wonderful meeting hall for the gospel work in this region.

August Europe

August Mission Trip to Europe

In August, I made a two-week mission trip to Spain and Italy. We held meetings at 3 places and ministered to over 300 people. The first place is in Barcelona, Spain. Not many people showed up at the meeting on Sunday morning. I felt oppression in preaching and only laid hands on several sisters. More people showed up in the afternoon and I felt released in preaching. I first laid hands on the coworkers as they fell down in weeping. Then I laid hands on the children to bless them.

I spent a day of rest in Bali, Italy before my flight to Catalina, Sicily. Not many people showed up in the afternoon and most were young people. After preaching, I laid hands on them and they fell down in weeping. A young boy was weeping strongly in the presence of God. I then prayed for healings. After preaching in the evening, I laid hands on the people and they all fell down quietly. A brother fell down in weeping and then spoke in tongues.

I arrived in Paris, France at almost midnight and was surprised by more than a dozen people waiting for me at the house of the host family. Because the leaders of the Revival Church didn’t invite me to minister, I only stopped by Paris for the last two years. I prayed for those people after finishing the meal. I was surprised that the Holy Spirit moved mightily and they all fell down in weeping strongly. The older sisters were burdened by the Holy Spirit and interceded for the church until late at night. I then took the flight back to the US next morning. It is my belief according to the Bible that God today sends out his servants in the same way as Jesus did. Jesus sent out His disciples without waiting for any invitation. If a place did not receive them, they just brushed the dust off their shoes and went to the next place. The people who did not receive them would lose their blessings and face the judgment. God’s work cannot be hindered and the Holy Spirit will testify for His servants.

Past Trips

Date Place Summary Report
2011/4 China In April, I made a three-week mission trip to Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces in China. We held meetings at 14 places, ministered to over 2,700 people, and led 40 people to the Lord. We ministered mainly in the cities with several house churches still in the villages.
2011/2 China In early February, I made a three-week mission trip to    Jiangsu, Anhui, and Shandong provinces in China. We held meetings at 21 places and ministered to over 5,500 people. As usual, I traveled daily with one morning and one afternoon meeting each day.

Meetings were held in 17 places with over 3,300 people ministered and nearly 50 converts. As usual, I ministered during the day and traveled at night on a daily basis. Most places were in the poor countryside and I had to minister under very dusty environment. It is sad that although the cities have experienced incredible progress, not much has changed in the countryside. Modernization not only impacts the environment, it also changes the demographics in the country villages with mainly elderly people and children left. As I prayed for the sick, many healing miracles happened. God has not forgotten His people.

I ministered only one day in each place and traveled at night accompanied by a coworker, often by overnight train.

After the meetings, we often had dinner with the coworkers.

I postponed this trip because of my newborn daughter and my mother-in-law has been helping with childcare, therefore now I could resume oversea mission trips. This trip also is my first time ministering in Australia, the last of the 5 continents I ever visited.
2008/10 China In October, I made a mission trip to Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces in China for three weeks. I ministered to nearly 3,000 people at 17 places and led over 100 to the Lord.
