Loving each other
Illuminated by Christ
Giving the
Hope of salvation
To Chinese people

God has richly blessed the ministry of Light of Christ. From 2000-2003, thirty-one adults and children have been baptized. The congregation has 50 members. Average worship attendance is 45 people.

Pastor Lau and the members of Light of Christ have set a goal of increasing worship attendance and membership by 30% in 2004.

Please pray that the outreach programs offered through Light of Christ will lead to relationships which open the door to sharing the Gospel.

One evening a congregation member and Pastor Lau went out for home visitation. They did not expect anything, except to build a friendship with this new friend. As they talked with him, however, they were surprised that he was prepared to confess his sin and wanted to become a Christian. Pastor Lau knew this is the work of the Holy Spirit. He gave him a word of encouragement and prayed with him. The man was invited to the adult information class and was baptized on Easter Sunday, 2003. He is now not just a friend, but also a brother in the Lord.

Following the visitation, the congregation member and Pastor Lau thankfully prayed to the Lord. They also confessed their sin of sometimes looking at the ministry of visitation as a “routine job.” Instead, God had initially worked in our new friend/brother’s heart so he would turn to God.

In 2006 Pastor Lau received a Call to California and Immanuel/Light of Christ called Rev. Paul Shaw to further the mission.  Read The Voice article here.
