Monthly Prayer Letter

Dear companions of FES,

As we face transitions in our lives, such as graduating from college and entering the workplace, can our presence bring some more blessings to the world? The prayer that Jesuit missionaries must ask as they join the ministry, “What will I do for Christ”, can help us understand more clearly the identity of who we are in the transition. No matter what the circumstances are, we can always do more for Christ to glorify Him. There are times, even in the increasingly unjust and darkened days of the long path, when the witness of those who serve reveals the light of Christ.

While the turnover of teachers in Hong Kong’s education sector remains a serious problem…

Dear companions of FES,

Recently, I read in one sitting the new book, “Family Letters Made Public” 《被公開的家書》, which was given to me by Aunt Him (Mrs. CHAN Lau Kit Ching). It took me to several important stations on the path of Uncle Him (Rev. CHAN Hay Him) and Aunt Him’s ministry life. Even the faithful servants to the Lord cannot foresee which path the Lord has planned, but can only continue to devote themselves fully to Him in the midst of the difficult struggles of reality…

Dear companions of FES,

Many pastors have expressed that how can there be a plan for pastoring a church in this time and place? With the impact of the times, perhaps it is the beginning of the church to be renewed. If we go into a pastoral scene with a set idea of how things should be, thinking, “Everything is going to be the same,” we will only find that everything has changed. Simply pursuing a previously set goal can easily lead to blindness, a failure to see the true needs of the audience…

Dear companions of FES,

In the beginning of this year, the FES team celebrates its journey with a grateful heart, not only because of the successful completion of the 65th anniversary thanksgiving event, but also because we have witnessed God calling generations of co-workers to serve the young people of Hong Kong in this great age and raising up generations of students to take up the mission of campus evangelism. Despite the impact and challenges of the pandemic…

Dear companions of FES,

What are your New Year wishes for 2023? While some comment that they are not optimistic about the future in view of the growing tension in international relations, some experts predict that one-third of the world’s economies will fall into recession. As people of God, our perspective towards global conditions depends on God’s works. Wherever we are, may we recognize God’s work and cling to Him, and always be renewed in our mind…

Dear companions of FES,

May we prepare ourselves for the Advent season and anticipate the coming of the Savior! We believe that the power of darkness will eventually be dispersed and that the Savior, through the presence of the Church, will show the world the true ruler of history with the work of the new heavens and earth already having begun today. From the third week of Advent, the waiting and longing has turned into a joyful experience…

Dear Companions of FES,

Peace be with you in the Lord!

In thanksgiving to the Father’s guidance, FES has shared 65 years with the Hong Kong community. On November 13, more than 100 brothers and sisters gathered at Concordia Middle School to give thanks and praise to the Lord for His ongoing guidance and care in the student evangelistic movement. Looking back at the 60th anniversary thanksgiving service five years ago…

Dear FES’s companions,

How is your day going? Are you feeling tired? To seek a way out, we often need to be determined and get ready to turn a new page tomorrow. We should make a new start anyway, once again return to the Word, take hold of the Lord’s commission to walk with the weak and be encouraged and strengthened in Him.

I recently shared with a graduate who mentioned that all walks of life are now living in a state of distress, unable to express…
