Apostolic Team in China
Held in China, Every Nation's Asian Apostolic Team met for this year's first half plans. Approximately 127 churches are covered by this team in Northern Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and South East Asia. I love being a part of this team.
In an interesting turn of events, Reverend Chen's colleague called to inform us of an outreach meeting that was to be held Saturday. In the course of the conversation we were informed that Filipino-Chinese businessman Luke Roxas (third from right below) was also in town with Reverend Chen. The phones were passed to Luke and to me.
Luke is a friend from Manila. When he asked where we were, it turned out that we were in the same vicinity. After a five minute walk we were able to meet with each other. This accounts for the meeting with these amazing men and women of God - leaders of the Body of Christ in China.
Picture below is with Reverend Chen Yi Ping (third from left, in blue cap), chairman of the Chinese Christian Council. Reverend Chen is an above ground Christian leader who was imprisoned for his faith and is one of the main leaders of the Body of Christ in China. God orchestrates our affairs and allows us to meet our brothers and sisters in unique ways.
"I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false." Revelation 2:2
My Comments Policy
While my site offers visitors the ability to converse, I have a few ground rules so that our conversations will remain civil and courteous.
1. You must register in order to leave a comment. I don’t entertain pseudo, anonymous or bogus individuals. This site is my home (it has a Home Page, get it). I don’t let strangers who don’t introduce themselves into my home.
2. I love questions. I love them because a lot of times they are similar to someone else’s questions and can even trigger other questions from others. Questions also keep us all sharp. This is also why I respond to them as best as I can and at the soonest possible time. I believe that group answering benefits more people than private email exchanges.
3. We don’t have to agree. Debates are welcome. However, whether it is with me or any other visitors of my site, my rule is this: disagree if you must but keep things civil. That’s just how I run my home, and you are a visitor here. No shouting; I have seen it done in writing. No cursing and no insulting.
4. I reserve the right to delete your comments. Like I said, this is my home. I do not have an obligation to publish your comments. As a human being, you may enjoy the freedom to express your opinions on your own site but not on mine. To be specific, I will delete your comments if you post content that is in my sole opinion: (a) snarky; (b) off-topic; (c) libelous, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, profane, pornographic, offensive, false, misleading, or which otherwise violates or encourages others to violate my sense of decorum, civility or any law, including intellectual property laws; or (d) “spam,” i.e. an attempt to advertise, solicit, or otherwise promote goods and services. You may, however, post a link to your site or your most recent blog entry.
5. You retain ownership of your comments. I do not own them and I expressly disclaim any and all liability that may result from them. By commenting on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights in what you post here and that you will relieve me from any and all liability that may result from those posts.
6. You grant me the license to post your comments. This license is worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and royalty-free. By posting comments on my site, you automatically grant me the right to store, use, transmit, display, publish, reproduce, and distribute your comments in any format, including but not limited to a blog, in a book, video, or presentation.
In short, my goal is to host interesting conversations with caring, honest, and respectful people. I believe this clear and simple comments policy will facilitate this.
