Monthly Prayer Letter (Jul 2024)

Dear companions of FES,

June and July are the busiest months of the year for us. Our ministries are in full swing and our staff are in high gear. Yet in the midst of our ordinary human busyness, we are amazed to see the marvelous works of God. We would like to share the experience of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students’ East Asia Regional Conference (#IFES #EARC2024): We thank the Lord for leading 19 student delegates and 4 staff members to participate in this year’s EARC in Bangkok, Thailand, from July 3-9. All participants returned highly enriched. The theme of this year’s conference is Voice Matters, and the conference aims to help participants discern our God-given mission, enabling them to hear the voice from above amidst all the noise in the world.

EARC participants are mainly college fellowship leaders and fellow workers from the East Asia Region. With daily hymns and worship led by representatives from different movements, it was indeed an opportunity for us mortals to have a taste of the Kingdom of Heaven. We also had the opportunity to listen to sermons on the exegesis of the book of Zechariah, hear the stories of believers in different regions who are practicing their mission, share with each other the context and needs of the student evangelical movement in different regions, and intercede for each other. There were also cultural exchanges and outings for participants to get to know each other more easily. Despite language and cultural barriers that make communication difficult, and the fatigue of using a second or even third language over a long period of time, we were able to enjoy the seven days of cross-cultural and multi-lingual fellowship.

This year’s conference also intends to emphasize the sharing spirit of the fellowship in the program by delegating more sessions to delegates from different parts of the world. For example, the Hong Kong student delegates, apart from sharing the situation and prayer request of our movement in Hong Kong, setting up booths to introduce the cultural characteristics of Hong Kong, they were also responsible for operating the prayer room, interpreting a scripture passage in an artistic way, and leading some of the student groups, etc. Hong Kong staff also led some of the workshops. I had the privilege of leading a daily quiet session called “Selah”. It was an unexpected learning experience for me to lead more than 400 people in English for the first time to go over the content of the meeting, to have quiet conversations with God, and to prepare our hearts and minds.

May God continue to use His voice to guide the participants and the student evangelical movement everywhere, especially in these difficult times when we desperately need divine guidance. Please continue to pray for the student evangelical movement around the world, and remember the summer IS Camp at the end of July, Youth Bible Conference 2024 at the beginning of August, and the Teacher’s Retreat Day at the end of the summer!

May God accomplish His works in our midst!

Your companion,

Fox Lo

Associate General Secretary
