Don't say that you are too young!

In 2006, I graduated from Tyndale Seminary and joined NYCCC immediately as an assistant pastor.  Since then, I was offered the opportunity to represent NYCCC to serve in the ACEM mission department, where I can understand how our ACEM churches support a number of missionary projects and missionaries around the world.  More importantly, I have the chance to share their passion for mission.  This is a wonderful and valuable experience for me.

Surprisingly, I discovered that the ACM churches have been supporting so many ministers serving people of different parts of the world.  Their love for Christ and their passion for the people run deep into my heart.  Each minister courageously and faithfully proclaims the word of God of the people and to the nation.  Why is it that they obey God so faithfully?

I believe all of them share the similar experience of Jeremiah.  The Bible says:
“But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’  You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.  Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord” (Jeremiah 1:7-8)

We may be afraid when God calls us.  We are not sure what to say and what to do.  But God never leaves us alone in His ministry no matter what it is and where it is.  For Jeremiah or anyone who willingly listens to God, He is ultimate.  He is always in charge.  Let us get hold of this belief.  Everyone can be called.  Everyone can be appointed to touch the lives of some people.  Everyone can go.

 

ACEM Missions Conference has 30 years of history.  Over the years, it has been raising much money to support various missions projects.  These really show us the sufficiency of God’s providence.  More importantly, we see an increasing number of ACEM church members get involved in different kinds of missions.  This is a very encouraging and touching picture.   We not only enjoy looking at the picture but also we should be part of the picture.  Come and join us.  How wonderful it is when all of our brothers and sisters in Christ are walking on the same path to experience both the hardship and joy of responding to God’s calling together!
