I trust all is going well with you, your families, and your teams.
We are looking forward to being with all of you at the EAOrt All Staff Conference (ASC) in October 2014.
Based on John 17:26, the theme of ASC is "KNOWN: By Him, With Him, For Him".
Throughout our time together, we will talk about what it means to be known by God,
known by each other, and known to the world...so that everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus.
In being KNOWN, there are three purposes for ASC.
The first purpose of the gathering is to
celebrate together. Celebration is a part of community in Christian life.
As you may already know, Korea celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008, and Pakistan its 50th in 2010.
Japan's 50th was in 2012, and Singapore's 40th in 2012. Mongolia's 20th was in 2012, and Taiwan's 40th is in 2014.
It will be a time of celebration for what the Lord has done in this area.
The second purpose of the All Staff Gathering is to have common understanding of the current changes
that have happened and are happening in this organization. Since 2009 many changes have occurred,
and we are still in the midst of change. All these are closely related to the future development of
Spiritual Movements in CCC. We need to have a common understanding of these changes and be aligned with the global
direction in order to have effective collaboration to further His Kingdom in the EAOrt area and beyond.
The third purpose is to commit to contributing throughout the next ten years. Previously,
we had the All Staff Gathering of East Asia Area in 1994 and 2003.
We need to know where we are and where we need to go.
I believe it is time for us to contribute globally and come alongside other areas as well.
With these three purposes in mind, our the ASC team has been praying for
you and for how to best serve you through the conference. We look forward to being with all of you.
