History Maker Conference started its first conference of the year in Hong Kong. We were expecting God to move in a powerful way in all meetings. This was the first time our partner, Pastor Amos Tsang of Christian Glorify Grace Church organized a youth camp held in Noah’s Ark Resort, Park Island of Hong Kong, a totally different strategy and approach to evangelism compared to last year’s street outreaches (for more details, you may read last year’s post). The group comprised primarily teens from 11-12 years old. We had about 20-25 unchurched youths who have never been to a Christian gathering, never heard of the name Jesus, turned up for the camp. It was wild! Hong Kong is so ready for the end time harvest!
On the first day morning we had serendipity games where the “ice” was broken. In spite of the language barrier, where from time to time we had to use three languages to communicate: English, Mandarin and even Cantonese, we had a blast! Our spirit is kindred even though we may come from different country, culture and background. Truly Church is a living body of Christ, it is never boring! It should be the most happening place in town!
In the afternoon, we had Joseph from Singapore to do the teen’s program. Using various forms of gospel illusions, object lessons, fun games and songs, he shared the good news of Jesus Christ in an uncompromising yet relevant and simple way. In spite of their pagan background, they were very open and participated in all the worship sessions. Although they may not understand the lyrics of the songs, it was amazing to see that they sang from the hearts.
Pastor Kelly spoke on passion – “loving God wholeheartedly and others fervently” in the adult’s meeting. Nothing is ever accomplished without passion. God demands 100% commitment, as He is a jealous God. There was a powerful move of God during prayer ministry and many were touched by the power of the Holy Spirit.
“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?” Luke 9:25. Hong Kong has one of the world’s highest per capita suicide rate; 1200 kill themselves every year! Hong Kong is also the abortion capita city of the world; 1 in every 3 baby is aborted! Materialism is not the answer. Prosperity and ecstatic beauty is not the answer. Education and technology is not the answer. Only Jesus is the solution! Only Jesus can bring true significance and meaning to our lives! The last morning session, Pastor Kelly spoke from Joshua 10, “Never A Day Like Today”. God is raising up an end time army who will know Him and be strong and do great exploits. The unique characteristics of that army are as follows: 1) the greater the fight, the greater the victory! There will never be any victory if we don’t confront our enemies! 2) the mightier the men, the greater the breakthrough. We need to train ourselves to be strong mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. 3) the greater the prayer life, the greater the miracle. We pray, God will fight on our behalf! Never a day like today!
Praise God, we have about 8 boys and 7 girls who gave their lives to Jesus by the end of second day. According to Pastor Amos, although it was costly to organize such a camp in Noah’s Ark Resort, it was well worth it because souls are more important. Nothing is more valuable than a person’s soul. This is where History Maker totally fits in; we have been called to inspire vision and purpose in the next generation. Our passion is to see the end time harvest. Praise God for the results. The real “work” has just started for the camp, to disciple the new converts – the next generation!
