Hong Kong

Hong Kong is an incredible city of 7 Million lined with hundreds of skyscrapers everywhere you look, lights, shops, and people absolutely everywhere. Being here has really taken me back to my high school years growing up in Singapore. It’s been a real privilege to be here during this significant time to lay the ground work for what is coming in May/June 2009. We’re here alongside Mark Anderson, the International founder and director of the Impact World Tour, and also the director of the Call2All and the Global Pastors Network. The Call2All is a vision to gather all of the top leaders in the body of Christ to provoke them to focus outwards on accomplishing the great commission and adopting unreached people groups. It is a congress which is seen as a precursor to the IWT events to bring unity and vision for reaching those who don’t know Jesus. It’s believed that this can be completed within the next 10 years.

In the first week of June 2009, the first ever global Call2All congress will be taking place in Hong Kong alongside the global day of prayer and the global day of missions. We’re expecting 3,000 of the worlds top leaders in the Body of Christ to converge on Hong Kong for a week of seeking the Lord and strategizing to reach those who don’t know Jesus. The YWAM Asia/Pacific field leaders (300-500) will be also be gathering alongside this congress. We’ll also be looking to do some smaller scale IWT church based outreach events here around the same time with the view of eventually doing full blown campaigns down the line. This is a very strategic time as Hong Kong is the gateway into China, and also the financial hub for this part of the world.

We have been asked to help coordinate and facilitate these meetings/events next year. We’ve had an incredible time the last couple of days with many divine appointments and connections. Today we have a vision sharing meeting with Mark Anderson and about 100 leaders in Hong Kong including God TV leadership who will be involved next year. It’s exciting what is taking place.

Tomorrow morning I fly out to Davao, Philippines, to reconnect with the DTS outreach team. Both teams are doing well, and seeing God move in incredible ways. It’s great to be part of what God is doing in Asia. More to come….
