One way for church to receive God’s blessing is to be active in the mission program. TCCC has been participle in mission program since 1986, right after the phase-one of the building project. We felt that God has blessed us with our own church building; we must share our blessing with those missionaries who are fighting the devil in the front line at far away places. Dr. Peter Pan was the first mission board Chairman, since he had the most experience; Dr. Pan and his wifeSilvia were missionaries in Africa for many years.
In the first eight years or so, we have sent prayers and money to the missionaries we support, but there were no members gone out to the mission field. Over the years, God kept on bringing the vision of mission to the congregations, the calling was getting stronger and stronger and brothers and sisters were ready to go, and last year we had more than 30 short term missionaries from TCCC, praise the Lord!
Currently, TCCC is partially supporting about 20 missionaries or organizations. They are divided into three categories:
China mission | Preaching gospel to the people in China |
Student mission | Preaching gospel to overseas Chinese students |
General mission | Preaching gospel to the people in the world |
In order to encourage members to take action for the short- term mission work, 40% of the mission fund is ear marked for supporting church member mission trips.
May God be glorified through our mission program.
