Praise the Lord, the Mandarin congregations had grown in numbers in 2022. The Sunday Service attendances are stable at over 100 people averagely.
Since the beginning of last year, I shifted part of my work to the morning congregation: I spend more time in pastoral care and visit; establishing Adult Sunday School; running Alpha Course both at home and in Church; being more involved in senior ministry and exploring new ways to enhance fellowship in the 5pm congregation.
Looking forward to 2023, my plan is: enhancing Adult Sunday School; establishing a comprehensive welcoming, caring, and visiting ministry; further integrating the morning and afternoon congregations so that people from both congregations can share ministry resources. We plan to have more combined outings and fun activities to create more opportunists for people to bring their friends and families. We will run more training events to develop new leaders and equip people for evangelism. We hope the existing growth groups will enjoy further growth, and new groups will emerge on this basis.
