Call and Response
The International Mission Conference was held on June 14 to June 18, 2017 by the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches Inc. (CPBC), Mission Outreach of the Shantow Baptist Church of Hong Kong (MOSBCHK) and American Baptist Churches International Ministries (IM). There were 136 delegates coming from Philippine. The theme of conference is "Doing Mission Together in the Contexts of Prosperity and Vulnerability."
IM development workers, Ivy and Emerson
Wu, and Rev. Benjamin Chan’s Special Assistant Jabbie Chia play a major role in
assisting the CPBC to organize its first overseas mission conference in Hong
Kong. The conference
planning committee consists of Mr. Jabbie Chia from MOSBCHK, Rev. Dan Borlado
from CPBC, Rev. Ivy and Emerson Wu from IM. They diligently worked together for 7 months to
plan this conference.
The conference started with the opening
welcome addressed by Mrs. Feraz Legita (President of the CPBC), Dr. Andrew Yang (Chair of the MOSBCHK) and with a video greeting from Rev. Leslie Turley (Area
Director of Southeast Asia and Japan). Following the welcome, the keynote speaker,
Rev. Dr. Jerson Narciso (General Secretary of the CPBC) gave a message with the topic of "Journeying Together Towards Fullness of Life."
The next two days of
conference were conducted by those lecture speakers: IM's global servants,
Dr. Ann Borquist (missionary to South East Pacific) and Rev. Taku & Rev.
Katie Longkumer (missionaries to India), and Rev. David Ngai from Kwun Tong
Swatow Baptist Church of Hong Kong, Rev. Dan and Pastor Mary Lou Borlado from
CPBC in Hong Kong.
The final day, which was Sunday, started
with transporting the 136 delegates to attend Sunday worship services at Causeway Bay Baptist International Mission Church, five Swatow Baptist Churches
in different area of Hong Kong and a CPBC’s church in Hong Kong. In the late afternoon, it concluded with a
celebration worship service with invitation extended to the Filipino workers in Hong Kong.
It was quite a great experience to
hold a conference with the oversea delegates, local churches and the
international organization in past week. The last event of celebration worship
service at Duke of Windsor Social Service on Sunday afternoon ended fruitfully
with rejoice that there were about 15 new Filipino converters. HALLELUIAH!
Praise the Lord!
