Ministry Update

Chinese Churches Need Discernment
China is modernizing rapidly and people are not as hungry for God as in the past. Because of the growing economy in China, church has become more open to oversea. Some house churches in the cities are influenced by the prosperity gospel from overseas, away from the way of the Cross. Many young ministers, who did not experience the persecution in the past, now begin to pursue fame, knowledge and seminary degree over the suffering road of the Cross, becoming a crisis in the house church revival movement. While it is inevitable for house churches making contacts with oversea churches, they need to have discernment against the compromises of biblical truth. Failing to do so will have major impact on the current revival movement in China, making the church more secular. As churches become worldlier, they lose the holiness and the power to witness. Please remember in your prayers about this disappointing and urgent situation the China house church is experiencing.

Decemeber Mission Trip to Southeastern China

At the end of November, I made a three-week mission trip to Zhejiang, Fujian, Hainan and Jiangsu provinces in Southeastern China. We met in 20 places and ministered to nearly 3,400 people. We stayed only one day at each place, and sometimes held up to 3 meetings per day. Despite the packed itinerary, we were able to make it due to many improvements in China's transportation system in the recent years.

After arrival, I was in total shock by the news of the car accident and the passing of my close friend, Pastor Hu of Hainan House Church. He gave up his medical career for following Jesus into fulltime ministry, enduring the ridicule from his own family and the persecution from the government for years. His love for God and life testimony had impacted many people. During this trip, I also heard there were money scammers and deceivers in China pretend to be representatives of our ministry. These must be some evildoers inside the church.

Our first place was at a church nearby a city in Zhejiang. After preaching, I prayed for the sick and a patient who received liver transplant was able to walk. There were more turnouts in the evening and I laid hands on the packed crowd in groups. The next morning, I preached at a city church and gave an altar call. People cried out in repentance on their knees. In the evening, I preached to young people at a factory. As I laid hands on them, they wept and then were filled with joy. The next day, a brother drove me to the next city and we met at the local church. I laid hands on people and they all fell down quietly for a long time. Many elderly people received physical healings. We went to the next city that night. The next day, we met at the urban area where several churches gathered for combined Sunday service. After preaching on healing, people rushed to the front to receive prayers. A stroke-stricken elderly brother was able to walk. I led them in praising and dancing, and then anointed the coworkers. In the evening, the Holy Spirit moved strongly, many were in holy laughter and the youth were on holy fire. The next day, we met at a city church with many came from nearby places. As we worshiped, the presence of God manifested. I preached under strong anointing and gave an altar call for repentance. As I laid hands on them, they all fell in the Holy Spirit. I also prayed for the sick and anointed all the coworkers. In the evening, I laid hands on people with blessing before departing for the next city.

In the next morning, we met at a church in the countryside with many from nearby areas. After preaching, I prayed first for those who were moved to tears, and then for the rest, as they fell quietly in the presence of God. In the afternoon, they all were filled with great joy. After I prayed for the sick and anointed clothes, a crippled sister was able to walk. Lastly, I anointed all the pastoral staff and then went to the next city. We met in a factory the next day. After preaching, I laid hands on the people who came from the Three-Self churches. We went back to a city at night, and met with coworkers next morning in a nearby city. After preaching, they wept and knelt down in prayers, especially the sisters. When I laid hands on them, many fell down and wept strongly. In the evening, they all danced and praised passionately. As I anointed the young people, they were all filled with great laugher. In the next day, we met with young students of the Bible training school on the mountaintop. After preaching, I prayed for them and they all cried out to God, with many of them who were prodigal sons. Later I gave an altar call for fulltime ministry, many responded. In the evening, they danced with all their might, and then were filled with great joy, also on fire of the Holy Spirit.

The next day, I went to a city in Fujian by the fast train and held meeting at the host family. After I laid hands on children, they rested quietly in the Holy Spirit. Many sick also came for healing. In the evening, we met at an urban church. Only few were filled with the Holy Spirit after receiving prayers. In the next morning Sunday service, I preached and prayed for people. I took a bus to the next city. Several hundreds showed up for the evening meeting from nearby churches. As we worshiped, I felt God's presence. After preaching, I prayed for the sick and a brother who suffered from a car accident was able to walk. After teaching coworkers the next morning, they were filled with the Holy Spirit and fell all over the meeting hall. Later I took a flight to a city in Hainan.

The next day, we met at a farmhouse in the countryside with coworkers from various areas. As we worshiped with singing, the presence of God manifested. After preaching, I laid hands on them and they fell all over the place. I preached words of comfort for them who just lost their beloved pastor. Later I asked for more coworkers to serve the Lord, many came forth in tears. In the afternoon, they were filled with joy in holy laugher. Suddenly I was told the police were here so I left immediately. A local brother led me across a pepper field and then I went to the next city. The next day, we met at the conference room at a hotel with coworkers from nearby areas. After preaching, I prayed for them, they fell all over the place.

Oct. China

October Mission Trip to Northwestern China

In mid-October, I made a three-week mission trip to Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Henan Provinces in Northeastern China, held meetings in 20 places, and ministered to nearly 3,200 people. I ministered only one day in each place and traveled at night accompanied by a coworker, often by overnight train. I led people to repent in the morning and be filled with the Holy Spirit in the afternoon. Towards the end of the meeting, I’d pray for the healing of the sick. After the meetings, we often had dinner with the coworkers.

The cities in Northwestern China are modernizing rapidly but people are not as hungry for God as in the past. Some house churches in the cities are influenced by the prosperity gospel from overseas, away from the way of the Cross. This is a tragic trend in the China house churches. As churches become worldlier, they lose the holiness and the power to witness.

After arriving at a city in Inner Mongolia, I ministered at a church’s Sunday services in the next morning. As I prayed for people after preaching, many fell on the platform in weeping. I prayed for the sick in the afternoon and then anointed the young people before we went to the next city. The next morning, we met at a suburb area for coworker training. After preaching, people responded in tears. They then were filled with joy in the afternoon. Later we took an overnight train to a city in Ningxia. The next day many people broke up into separate meetings because of space limitation. The coworkers in the city gathered in the morning. After preaching, many wept strongly during prayer time. The coworkers from countryside gathered in the afternoon. They packed every room in an apartment and it took a long time to pray for them. The last meeting was at a house of a Muslim family where I especially prayed for the sick. Later that night I blessed many children at the host family before taking an overnight train to a city in Qinghai. Because it was my first visit there, people waited with great anticipation, and many were elderly sisters. After preaching, many cried out to God in tears. In the afternoon the Spirit of joy descended with many healed and filled with the Holy Spirit in holy laughter.

Later we arrived by train at a city in Gansu at midnight. We met at a farm village in the mountainside next morning with coworkers came from nearby regions. Only a few were touched strongly by the Holy Spirit in the meeting. We took an overnight train to the next city and met with coworkers in an apartment next morning. After preaching, they responded in tears as I prayed. In the afternoon, they were filled with the holy laughter. I prayed for the sick and anointed clothes for healing. Then we took a bus to the next city, and I slept on the bus because I was very tired. The next morning, we met at a farm village with coworkers from nearby areas. After preaching, they cried out to God in tears. In the afternoon, they were all filled with great joy. We then took overnight train to the next city. We met at a small house next morning for Sunday service. After preaching, I took a long time to pray for everyone. In the afternoon, we went to another house meeting. Too many people showed up and packed all three rooms. My preaching was interrupted but later they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues. After taking overnight train to the next city, we met at a hotel conference room the next morning. After preaching, people responded to the alter call in repentance with tears. I then prayed for the sick and they all fell down quietly. In the afternoon, the Spirit of joy came and they were filled with great joy. After we returned to the host family and anointed the coworkers, we took a bus to a city in Shaanxi.

In the next morning, we met at the prayer mountain packed with church coworkers. As I led the worship, the presence of God manifested. After preaching, people rushed to the front in response to the alter call. I laid hands on them in turns as many fell down in tears. In the afternoon, the Spirit of joy came and they fell in holy laughter. Lastly I prayed for anointing on the pastoral staff. In the evening, we held a healing meeting at the church. After worship, I prayed for the sick on the platform. They all fell down quietly under the anointing. This church has separated itself recently from the official Three-Self church organization. The pastor is Spirit-filled with approx. 5,000 believers and over 1,000 attending the weekly prayer meeting. The next morning, we travelled to the next city. In the afternoon, we met in an office building with many coworkers and young students. After preaching, I prayed for them and they all fell down in tears for a while.

Afterwards, we took a train to a city in Henan and then to a village where coworkers from nearby regions packed the house the next morning. After preaching, I prayed for them in groups and they all fell down in tears. In the afternoon, I led them in singing high praises after preaching. Then I prayed for anointing and they all fell down under the power of God without being touched. The Holy Spirit was moving mightily and many were filled with joy. We then travelled to the next city and held a tent meeting in the mountainside next morning, packed with hundreds of people. After preaching, people rushed to the front in tears in response to the alter call. All the sudden, they all fell from the front to the back and cried out to God. I then laid hands on them in groups to receive prayers. After preaching in the afternoon, I led them in dancing and praising God. As I prayed for anointing, they all fell down under the power of God and were filled with joy. I then laid hands on them in groups based on regions. Later, I prayed for the sick at a house church in the city and then went to the next city.

The next morning, we met in a basement with coworkers. While I was preaching, suddenly some officials came to stop the meeting. They wanted to inquire me so I ran away. They tried to stop me for three times but I finally escaped with the help from a local sister. That night I went to a big city and rest for two days. The next day, we met at a vacation house and preached to some new believers. Later I prayed for them and they all fell down quietly. In the evening, they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. On the last day, we met at the suburbs with mostly elderly sisters.

Aug. Europe

In Early August, I made a two-week mission trip to France, Spain and Italy. We met in 5 places and ministered to over 700 people, mainly at the Revival churches. After arriving in Paris, I ministered at a young people camp at a village in the countryside. After preaching in the evening, not many were in tears as in the past. In the next morning, I laid hands on everyone but still not much response. Breakthrough came in the afternoon after we all danced and praised God in shouting, many fell down in weeping. In the evening, several prodigal sons fell down before God and wept in repentance until midnight. After preaching in the next morning, I called out some and they fell down in weeping strongly.

July China

China Mission in July

Early in July, I made a two-week mission trip to Zhejiang and Yunnan, China, held meetings in 7 places, and ministered to more than 1,300 people. This trip was in the summer season, I specially ministered to young students in Zhejiang and several house churches where I was not able to visit last time in Yunnan.

I first arrived at a city in Zhejiang and had lunch with local leaders the next day. We were deeply troubled by a young minister who embraced the prosperity gospel from oversea churches and split the local church with many young people. Many young ministers, who did not experience the persecution in the past, now begin to pursue fame, knowledge and seminary degree over the suffering road of the Cross, becoming a crisis in the house church revival movement. While it is inevitable for house churches making contacts with oversea churches, they need to have discernment against the compromises of biblical truth. Failing to do so will have major impact on the current revival movement in China, making the church more secular. Please remember in your prayers about this disappointing and urgent situation the China house church is experiencing.

We started the evening meeting at a church in the suburbs. After preaching, people were on their knee in repentance. As I   gave an alter call, they came forth and some fell on the floor without being touched. In the next morning, I prayed for those who were already touched by the Holy Spirit, and they fell down in tears. In the afternoon, I led the praises and then they were filled with the Holy Spirit. I laid hands on the young people and they all fell down at once, filled with great joy. In the evening, I laid hands on all the people and many fell on the floor, burnt by the fire of the Holy Spirit. In the next morning, I ministered at a student meeting in a nearby city, with several hundred young people packed the meeting place. After preaching, they were on their knees in repentance. I laid hands on them and they fell down in tears. After preaching in the afternoon, I led them in dancing and praising God. They fell down from the front to the back, filled with the Holy Spirit and burnt with holy fire. I preached under heavy anointing that evening. Many came to the front to receive deliverance. Many cried out and fell down in weeping. In the next morning, I ministered at another student meeting in a nearby town for the whole day. Holy Spirit did not move as strongly. I almost lost my voice after the meeting.

I took a flight to a city in Yunnan the next day and spent the night at a church on the mountaintop. We held a coworker meeting the next morning. As I prayed for them after preaching, they all fell down in tears. In the afternoon, they were filled with the Holy Spirit in holy laughter. Afterwards, a couple drove us to the next city. We held a coworker meeting the next morning, with some from the minority tribes. I prayed for them and they all wept strongly. When the Holy Spirit moved in the afternoon, they were laughing and shouting. We went back to the city and I took a flight to the next city. We held a meeting in the city the next morning. After preaching, I laid hands on them and they fell down in tears. In the afternoon, the Spirit of joy came and they were in holy laughter. We then went to another city to minister at a suburb church the next morning. As I prayed for people, they fell down in tears. I also laid hands on the children and blessed them. In the afternoon, they were filled with great joy. Finally I prayed for the anointing upon their coworkers.

June Asia

June Mission Trip to Malaysia, Brunei

From the end of May, I made a three-week mission trip to Malaysia and Brunei, held meetings in 10 places, ministered to more than 2,200 people, and led over 60 people to the Lord. Despite the threat of the H1N1 flu, God protected us as we ministered from places to places. We had a very tight schedule this time, and we could not have completed the trip without the help of our local coworker Cindy Chung and her husband.

After arriving at Kuala Lumpur, I stayed at DUMC Elder Wong's home. The next evening at Glad Tidings AOG church we began a 3-day meeting. They fasted and prayed for 10 days already, waiting for the Holy Spirit to come on the Pentecost. After preaching, I prayed for the anointing on all the coworkers. After the meeting, a mother introduced her son to me, whom I ministered to nearly 10 years ago. The prophecy I spoken at that time already fulfilled in his life, which brought great comfort to my heart. In the next evening, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and fell on the floor during the worship. Later after I preached, suddenly the Holy Spirit came. Several were filled with the Holy Spirit and fell on the floor. Many rushed to the front and prayed on their knees. Many were touched by the Holy Spirit and I laid hands upon them on the platform. The Holy Spirit moved mightily. Many were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. I finished with prayers of blessing for all the families. The next morning, I preached at their Sunday service, interpreted into Cantonese, and prayed for those in hardship and for the children. I preached again at their second Sunday service, and prayed for the children and the working people.

In the evening, I ministered at a spirit-filled Methodist church. Before the meeting started, the young lady pastor surprised me with her restriction on the way I ministered. I was very angry and rebuked her. It is a great offense to the Holy Spirit if people want to restrict the way God moves. God knew   beforehand and He gave me a strong message to preach. To my surprise, many responded to the alter call and several wept strongly. Many fell on the floor quietly after receiving prayers. I could not fall asleep that night and was deeply concerned with this young lady pastor who doesn't know to follow the move of the Holy Spirit. The anointing is strong during the worship in the next evening. After preaching, I laid hands on people and they fell down quietly in God's presence. In the final evening was the leadership training. I preached without any reservation and prayed for them afterwards. I felt my burden was lifted because I have done my job in delivering God's word to them.

We went to Sitiawan on the next day and stayed at a sister's new home. She was about to get married and asked me to pray for her family. Like in the last trip here, FGBMF hosted an outreach dinner at Chin-Hock Methodist Church with over 500 attendees. The PA system was improved, but only a dozen or so came out at the alter call to accept Jesus. The majority of the attendees were believers. We then went to Teluk Intan the next day. The local FGBMF hosted a gospel dinner with over 200 attendees. After preaching, over 20 people responded to the alter call, including a young man who came on a wheelchair because of a car accident. I then prayed for the sick. A teenage girl was moved by the Holy Spirit and wept strongly. We came back to Kuala Lumpur that evening and arrived after midnight.

The next day we went to SIB KL Church's family camp at a resort in Melaka. The main theme was "Rebuilding the Alter of God." After preaching in the first evening, I gave an alter call for repentance. I then gave two teaching sessions the next morning. In the evening, I preached and then prayed for people to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Many were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. I then prayed for all the couples. The next morning was their Sunday service. After preaching, I first prayed for anointing on their coworkers, and then the Spirit of joy came, with many filled with great holy laughter. We then rushed to the same hotel nearby the airport where the three-day Young Adults Discipleship Training Camp was held. It was hosted by our ministry with the theme "Imitating Christ." After teaching in the first evening, to my surprise, the brothers wept strongly first. The sisters were moved to tears the next morning and many fell on the floor quietly in the ministry time. We had a Q&A session in the afternoon. A worship team from an AOG church led the worship in the evening and we all danced before God. After preaching, I laid hands on them and the Holy Spirit moved mightily. Many were on fire of the Holy Spirit and cried out aloud. The next morning, I preached on “Imitating the Death of Christ.” Several came out and wept strongly responding to the alter call. After teaching in the afternoon, I prayed for those who have personal needs.

The next evening I preached at brother's meeting at Glad Tidings AOG church and gave the alter call for repentance. I laid hands on them to receive the power of the Holy Spirit for holiness. I then ministered at PuChung Gambling Rehab Center the next evening. This special kind of ministry is very important to the Chinese people. After preaching, I prayed especially for the deliverance of the people from the spirit of addiction.

The next morning, I took a flight to Brunei. I preached gospel message at Agape Family Center in the evening. About 10 people responded to the alter call for accepting Jesus and several were teenagers. Two people wept strongly when they received the prayer for deliverance. Many more came the next evening with more than a dozen accepting Jesus, including many local young people and the elderly mother of a brother on a wheelchair, who was able to walk after receiving the prayer. As I prayed for all the couples, they all fell down in God's presence for a long time. The next day I went to minister at the Sunday Service of their branch church in the nearby city. Not many people attended and several were foreigners. I preached with English interpretation. After I led some people to the Lord, I prayed for the sick. Later I took a flight back to Kuala Lumpur, then to the United States on the next day.
