Message from Rev Elijah Chew (Chair of Board of Ministry which organised the US Trip) “…The planning begun one year ago in 2015 at our Board on the Ministry. With much enthusiasm and excitement, we embarked on the planning phase…” I thank God for the opportunity to plan, to organise, as well as to be part of the trip. I also thank Bishop and the Annual Conference for supporting us financially and spiritually. The planning began one year ago in 2015 at our Board on the Ministry. With much enthusiasm and excitement, we embarked on the planning phase. You know the drill …ask who could go, pay the registration fee for the World Methodist Conference, buy air tickets, apply for visas, book accommodation, connect and communicate with Asbury Theological Seminary, and the final check of all logistic requirements. I admit that I spent much for this trip, which enabled me to reconnect with God and with the World Methodist movement through unique exposure to others through the talks and so on; my heart burns with Jesus love in the Spirit of God. Nothing is more important than seeing and experiencing God in a foreign land; I managed to visit a few churches in Houston and Portland. I must say; I do not regret that I can make it so far this year. Of course, I also went to Portland Cannon beach to reconnect with my former supervisor as well as my colleague. It was a time of remembering who I am and what I have done in the past, and contemplating where I will be in future. May God bless the Chinese Methodist Church in His powerful and amazing way.
