1991-1998

The highlight of my ministry at FPCOC is forming a nightly weekly Taiwanese disciple-
ship/accountability group among the session members right when I migrated to the Tai-
wanese ministry. The purpose of which is to get to know God intimately, to learn sys-
tematically God's truth as written in the Bible, to practice spiritual disciplines and to foster

spiritual growth both personally and collectively. God used this group to raise up leaders
who have tasted the goodness and power of God at work even during challenging situa-
tions. I remembered the group knelt down to pray and by the time we were done, it was
one in the morning. No one complained. Everyone was spiritually refreshed. We were
all excited expecting God to transform our lives and the church. Elders started to step up
in the ministry. They were able to teach and disciple others. It was working with this
group that I realized God can use anyone who is willing to make himself/herself available

to Him.

My admonition to you on your 40th anniversary:

•To move forward and onward for the cause of Christ.
•To lift up the name of Jesus Christ and give Him

preeminence in our lives.

•To build together the Kingdom of God.
•To look up for the return of Jesus Christ the author and
finisher of our faith.
