Summer Stretch

(Taken from my latest newsletter, to see the full version of this update click here.)

As of last week, Spring quarter at Fuller officially ended. It was by far the toughest quarter for me. A few more quarters to go! For now I'm glad that it's summer break. With summer approaching, LA gets warmer, but the proverbial June gloom kicked in two weeks before I left which was not fun. Now, I am in Hong Kong city (panorama photo above), the land of many 'Wan's - where the sun hides behind the clouds but the air is densely hot, hot, hot!

AFF

Antioch Forerunner Foundation is a summer missions program focused on training students and graduates to reach nations particularly along the Silk Road back to Jerusalem. This summer we are having it in three locations: Kansas City (July 1-31), Hong Kong (June 16-July 22) and Taiwan (July 26-Aug 23). The exciting thing is that we see God bringing together people from different nations with a common passion for a missional lifestyle, and a heart for prayer and intimacy with the Father. 

With a unique thrust for each of these three locations, we are expecting God to further His mission by doing a deep work in each trainee; in Hong Kong - the Gateway City - the thrust is MARKETPLACE. How can they live out a missional lifestyle once they graduate, when they enter into a totally new environment that may not be as 'easy' a field as the campus? That is what AFF HK is about...

After AFF, our team will join Gateway Camp - a multicultural worship & intercession camp for people from many nations to be joined in destiny to partner with families and missions opportunities throughout China, HK and the nations beyond. 

On a personal note, besides AFF and HK, I ask for your prayer for:

1. Family in Kota Kinabalu: Divine provision for my parents and sister, and health in every aspect of their being and relationships.
2. Study: I will begin a distance-learning course for 10 weeks, starting next week. Please pray for healthy body, mind and spirit, and for focused diligence as I study while traveling. 
   
3. Travel: Most importantly, that God would make me a blessing wherever I go, at the sound of his voice which I hope to obey faithfully.

Hope I can post more often this summer. It HAS been a little quiet here.... but it's gonna be an exciting summer, fosho!!!
