    • Two new Sunday School Classes to start next week (March 3rd):Spiritual Leadership in the Books of Moses (Hansel Wang) While most of the textbooks on leadership in general and church leadership in specific focus on the organizational aspects of goal, objective, mission, relationally, span of control, team and teamwork, etc., this course will explore the significance of spiritual leadership in the Divine Presence that develops an individual of Abraham to the nation of Israel and from a group of slaves wandering in the desert to a generation of free people ready to take possession of the Promised Land in the first five books of the Bible.Acts of the Apostles (Y. C.  Ip) – The book of Acts is a continuance of all that Jesus began to do and teach (ch 1:1). The Lord is not on this earth bodily now, but those who are believers are here in His stead for the spread of the gospel. However, before they can ever be effective in the spread of the gospel, there must be the empowering by the Holy Spirit.
    • We will be sending a short term mission team to Panama this Summer to help run an English Camp in support for the local churches. It is an overnight English youth camp that also focuses on the gospel. The English lessons will be VBS style, using Bible stories, songs and sharing of the gospel. The chance to improve one’s language skills is the draw for many non-Christian parents and youths.

      On-site Training: Sat to Sun, Jun 8-9 (STMs to arrive by Fri, June 7)
