Personal reflection of Ps Kam Loong Lee
Praise the Lord for such a great opportunity to attend the World
Methodist Conference in Houston and the retreat at Asbury Theological
Seminary in Wilmore. The experience at the WMC was great but I
would like to share more about my experience at ATS.
“…Praise the Lord for not
just renewing my spiritual
life but also giving me a
clear direction in my
ministry. The pastors
retreat was short but it is
definitely the most fruitful
retreat I have ever
attended…”
I did not expect the great seminars and the hospitality we received at
ATS. I was looking forward to a good rest after a week’s travel in Los
Angeles and a week attending the WMC in Houston. I was expecting
the Word of God but I didn’t expect that He would use the seminars to
renew me. This was the first time that I was touched and moved by the
words of the speakers in a seminar, especially in the session by Kenneth
J Collins on “Our Wesleyan Roots”. He systematically brought out the
content of this topic which not only improved my knowledge, but also
increased my passion for Wesleyan theology. Furthermore, his talk got
me to ponder on how should I live a life focused on the core beliefs of
Wesleyan theology, that is, Grace and Holiness.
Also, it was a great encouragement to continue my study and research
in Wesleyan Theology, which I started when I was doing my MDiv.
Indeed, ATS would be a great seminary to consider since the seminary
has numerous authoritative scholars in Wesleyan theology. Praise the
Lord for not just renewing my spiritual life but also giving me a clear
direction in my ministry. The pastors retreat was short but it is definitely
the most fruitful retreat I have ever attended.
Thanks to the Board of Ministry for the effort in organising such a great
retreat and also thanks to the Executive Board for blessing the pastors
with cost subsidies. May the Lord continue to use the CMCA mightily
in His kingdom.
Last but not least, praise our God for He is a God who speaks.
