Shirley and I are delighted to be with you here in Hong Kong." In March when we were planning our cruise up the Yangsee, I mentioned to Shirley that it would be nice to see Hong Kong while we were over here." ( It wasn't a prayer .)" So I was very surprised by the invitation to minister with you here." You are a wonderful community of believers, and I am excited to help you focus on God's purpose for CAN." You are a unique congregation with many gifts, great potential and vast opportunity. I can't think of a better way to help you discover God's purpose for CAN than to investigate the Book of Acts with a three part approach: I will preach a nine part series on Acts,there will be a eight part Bible Study that coordinates with the sermon texts, and there is a group of 25 and others who are studying" the book Church Unique to help us build the foundation of a visioning process. The Book of Acts is Luke's second book. Acts takes up where the gospel of Luke leaves off." In his gospel Luke gives an account of "all that Jesus
began to do and to teach until the day He was taken up into heaven.( Acts. 1:1 & 2) In other words, Jesus' earthly life, including His resurrection and ascension, was only the beginning of His work on earth. This leads to the main truth underlying the Book of Acts." Although no longer present in bodily form, Jesus continues His teaching and ministry on earth through His mystical body, the church. Acts reveals the very purpose of God in establishing the church and gives the process and power by which He plans to accomplish it." It is
remarkable that Christ has made the completion of His mission work on earth dependent on His body, the church. So pray for yourselves and all of us that God would give us greater clarity of His vision and the commitment to "devote" ourselves to it as did the New Testament church, who experienced growth in faith and numbers. In the joy that we share in Christ, Pastor Vic

As of 19 August, general gifts for the fiscal year totaled about HK$786,000, significantly below budget due to summer months. With careful management of expenses, there was a small operating deficit of HK$30,000. Designated Gifts for special projects totalled about HK$345,000. As we move through Fall, every gift from the heart will be needed. Can you help with regular giving or special gifts? CAN's ministry is funded solely by current congregational giving. It does not receive funding from HKIS or any external sources. Please join with us as God continues to bless CAN with minds to understand needs, hearts to care, and hands to give. Thanks to all for your gifts from the heart!
A local Community Health Education (CHE) Committee Training for Cagayan was conducted last July 8-12 this year at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Ballesteros, Cagayan, which aims to establish a functional CHE Committee for Ballesteros-Aparri Area, and to train this committee to implement the CHE program in Cagayan. The said committee training was attended by 24 local community and church members, and among them, 13 were elected to constitute the CHE Committee. Joselito Obejas, a former member of the LCP Board of Directors, was elected Chairman of the committee. He was also awarded as the Philippines Most Outstanding Barangay Chairman in 1994. While Manuel Victa, also a former member of the LCP Board of Directors, was elected to the position of Vice Chairman. The CHE Committee Training consisted of several team-building activities aimed to uphold and develop everyones leadership skills. Among the topics discussed were Understanding Community, Basic Elements of the CHE Program, Needs and Resources of the Community, Committee Formation, Organization and Constitution, and Project Planning Cycles. Along with the establishment of committee, 14 Community Health Educators (CHEs) and three CHE advisers were also assigned to work together with the committee on their chosen area. And on the next Saturday, July 20, the chosen Committee, CHEs, and advisers conducted a follow-up meeting for the initial survey on potential mission areas. The Cagayan CHE Committee Training was facilitated by the CHE Lead Team members Rev. Antonio Batin, James Tabios, Genmar Pizarro, and Guest Facilitator Mae Padirayon.
