Meditation & Prayer: Participating in the "One-Third Movement" Annual meeting on 4/13/13, I felt like enjoying a "Spiritual Feast". This year's theme message :"Are you ready to Engage?" attracted a group of Christians who have chosen a life path to dedicate our remaining years serving God in whatever capacity that he prepares us. I was deeply moved by nearly 6 hours of insightful messages , mission memoir and very engaging presentations. Those passionate expression made an indelible mark in my mind by the presenters:

l  Dr. John Chang recalled the nostalgic statements and vows he made to God as he entered into the mission field 24 years ago:"I 've counted the cost, but I'm willing to pay.the price", a price that every Christian constrained by the love of God would have to pay by giving up fame and possessions, considered as a Litmus Test to determine one's genuine and truthful act of commitment to follow Christ.

l  Rev. Pine Wang, of CCLife Press echos: "We should not live unto ourselves anymore, but only live for Christ...(II Corinthians 5:14-15) Unless the intrisic nature of our lives is transformed, we are still spiritually deceased, if our mind is not totally free from conforming to the world...unworthy to serve as God's vessel to assume the responsibility as his ministry steward.

l  Rev. John & Grace Chao (Guiding Wording Counseling) expounded further on the subject of family unity as the integral part of our ministry orientation. "Mission begins at the family level, seriously speaking. Consistent and continuous application of spiritual principles inside our families set up a future mission platform-“A Model Family” in order to exert greater influence upon those who face family strife and struggles." 

My heart is truly thankful to play a supporting role in the "One-Third Movement" this year and look forward to re-kindling the burning desire that the entire message has sustained, and continued to stir up the inner passion and fulfillment of God's calling in each of our heart, in Jesus holy name I pray, amen.
