Challenges facing us

Rev. Kenneth Lo shared with us Caleb's commitment this morning. Joshua 14:7-9 is his concluding texts.

He first shared during the past thirty years China experienced tremendous changes and FEBC too went through days waiting for even hardly a letter from audiences in the beginnings.

Then came days in the great economic reform years in late seventies with rapid multiplications in church growth and increases in numbers of Christians in both the eighties & nineties. Gospel broadcast then might really play her significant role in facilitating such phenomenon though without voicing forth the real causes by any interested ones.

The third round came when FEBC seems going slow in chasing up changes in IT environment with many similar broadcasts came up the scene.WE became not the only one send forth airwave messages. Either we go out of scene or have to think again in our strategies.

With impacts from the recent Financial tsunami, FEBC continues need having Heart for China, Heart for church and Heart for mission facing these great changes. We need think of setting up local stations,not just gospel stations ; expand new partnerships and focus on software/people instead of working just on hardwares. Also, building up healthy churches and healthy workers for God is our ultimate mission in this whole picture.

Through reflecting on Caleb's life, possibly four stages in view :

Faith in God,
Commitment,
Perseverance as well as
Receiving crown,

Let us aim to be a Caleb instead of being a useless drumstick (作 迦勒 而不作 雞肋!)
A big smile on our own in this reflections.

So work to be a FEBC Caleb and not being a FEBC Drumstick!!!
