Celebrating New Beginnings in Macau
Note: This article was published in Missions News Network
ReachGlobal staff recently joined a group of pastors from a local church (the Gospel Center) in Macau for an idol-removal ceremony.
An elderly couple formerly owned a shop that sold paraphernalia for idol worship. Their daughter, a Christian, had witnessed to her parents for years and finally saw them come to Christ a year ago.
As her parents’ health deteriorated and they were unable to participate in the church services, their daughter asked the local pastors from the Gospel Center to keep discipling them in their new faith.Â
Roger, one of the pastors, visited them weekly for several months, and the results were evident as they declared their faith in Christ and rejected their former idols. (Pastor Roger and his wife, Sarah have an effective and caring ministry among the elderly as they reach out to them and include them at the Gospel Center.)
Staff is in Macau helping to develop more ministries. One project that’s continuing to grow is the Evangel Adult Education Centre.
The Evangel Adult Education Centre was opened in 1998 as a way of reaching out into the community with the Gospel. Its two main goals are to provide high-quality adult education for the people of Macau (social service), and to share the love of Christ with every student (evangelism). The desire is see new believers incorporate into EFC church plants. Read this article at MNN
