Journey of Faith (4) – 080911
My Beloved Brothers and Sisters,
I am taking this opportunity, in good and able spirit, to give a report to our Ark readers. While Sam Kong is resting, Ark Channel service continues. It was at end of 2002 when I heard the calling of the Holy Spirit to tend to unchurched group, the many little sheep who roam at a loss, trapped in afflictions, sickness, sin, depression, loneliness…. I saw vividly the scene depicted in the Book of Luke of how our God of love goes throughout all lands to seek the lost, the beaten, the forsaken… and my heart was completely drenched with this unchanging love of God.
It was all in a flash that the architecture of Ark Channel crossed my mind. It includes naming the ministry Ark Channel, ways to distribute the message, plot of sharing the gospel and testimony, to reaching out to rally with churches.
Over the past 3102 days, up till August 2011, thousands of saints, (including members in my home gathering, sheep we reap out of the many gospel meetings and friends whom we hold close to our heart in supplications) come onboard the Ark. We are now a small team of volunteers who serve on Ark articles distribution, filing and archive, English translation and web production. I am taking on the burden of writing the articles, providing counsels to saints who seek help. Little by little, Ark
Channel grows to provide 3 core values:
1. bring readers to meet God through His own words on a daily basis
2. bring readers to see beyond our own circumstances, edify into a prayer net and practice mutual support
3. bring churches, fellow workers into collaboration and fellowship
In our humble service, we make friends among men, we witness great wonders of God and our wish remains simple:
pray for all men to love God, care for brothers, serve the church with faith.
The Ark Channel on Aug 30, 2011 was the piece of work that I wrote myself for the last time. The following day, also the first day of my chemotherapy, Brother Patrick LI/ 秀峰 was moved by the Spirit to take on the baton of backing me up temporarily. Patrick is one of my best comrade in the Lord, my mentor in Bible study. In fact, much of my sharing here was based on his Bible notes. Through the depth in the content of his writing, we see the good will of God in sending our brother to support Ark Channel. I earnestly urge saints on all lands to pray for the entire team of Ark Channel!
At entering the 5th year of Ark Channel service, I brought this plea before the Lord – When is the time for me to pause? Since then I am patiently waiting for His command! Now seems to be the moment to hand the ministry back to the Lord! But my prayers and my love for you and all churches will not cease!
I urge all to continue to send us church news, prayer requests, testimonies, experience in the Lord! I will do my best to ‘leisurely’ support in choosing the materials for sharing on Ark Channel.
I’d like to quote Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” to speak the voice of my heart at this very moment!
– Brother Sam KONG/瑞榮
