2023 Ministry Report 事工報告

1. The goals of the ministry group for the Year 2023
   ‘The Kingdom of God’ is not a mere concept but a profound and awe-inspiring expression of God's powerful presence in the world and His eternal dream for humanity. ( Luke 17:21)

   It is a beacon of hope, a force that can transform lives and communities. The 'Kingdom of God' also refers to God's active and ongoing work to restore His creation to its original intended state, where His reign is acknowledged, and His will is done. ( 1 Peter: 5:10 )

   Our ministry vision, rooted in God's Kingdom work, is an inclusive and inspiring evangelized ministry of reconciliation. This Kingdom work is not just a part of our vision but the foundation of our ministry, inspiring us to lead our local outreach. Everyone, regardless of their background or location, has a unique and valuable role to play in this vision.

   (2 Corinthians 5:11-20)

   We aim to spread the transformative love and message of Jesus Christ in the lives of those around us, both within the church and beyond its walls. We envision a brighter, more hopeful future for all, connected to the Holy God of the Trinity through the power of Christ's love.

   To achieve this, we are engaging in a few regular community outreach programs, conducting evangelism training seminars and sessions, Bible studies for small groups, prayer meetings, and prayer walks, and providing support and counselling to those in need.

   Our gospel ministry leadership vision is not about individual brilliance but a collective effort towards a better future for church planning based on the principles of Scripture.

   Vision is helpful but optional for all leaders.

   Therefore, our church ministry can work collaboratively with visionary and non-visionary leaders.

   Also, the ability to sell a vision should be accompanied by unconditional and transcendent agape love, modelled by Christ Jesus. We are thankful for the numerous examples of love and cooperation from all congregations in our church outreach programs. Unity in prayers, dressing up with love for Christ, being the vest Gospel Ambassadors, and volunteering to serve diligently at any posts to connect the lost sheep of our communities are true church examples that should guide all our interactions and decisions as leaders.

   Our primary missional work tasks for 2023-2024, including

   • Embrace a broader perspective of the Kingdom of God and His work for our church. We joyfully celebrate with anyone, young or old, who discovers Christ, regardless of their church background or location. Our celebrations are not only a formality but a heartfelt expression of our belief in Christ's transformative power. They include baptism ceremonies, testimonial sharing, community gatherings, gospel drama, movies, musical nights, and outdoor outreach events rejoicing in the new life found in Christ.

   • Emphasizing the importance of focusing on character, ‘live out and do not merely listen to, ' over vision in leadership, we provide training, guidance, and support to empower young leaders among youth fellowship groups to bring Christ's power and presence wherever called. We believe that character is the foundation of effective leadership; this means that we value leaders who have a vision and embody the values and principles of our ministry in their actions.

   • Encourage church leaders and Christ followers to remain open to the Spirit's leading and new approaches in gospel movements to effectively meet community needs.

3. The results and some forward looking sharing
   Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness. Seeing the crowds, He felt compassion for them because they were distressed and downcast, like sheep without a shepherd.

   ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭35‬-‭36‬

   Inspired by the Gospel of Matthew, describing how Jesus went around teaching and healing people, feeling compassion for those who were distressed and lost, the CSC Local Outreach Ministry's scope objective of 2024-2025 is to motivate congregations to show compassion to those who are distressed and downcast, just as Jesus did.

   The ministry aims to serve our gospel partners together and equip the congregations to implement the teachings of Scripture and the will of God so that we can show compassion to those in need and reach out to lost souls.
