Hong Kong Christian Mission

IBCC China- Wing Wong

  • Thank God for the good turn out and godly results for the Week of Missions in Camp Winema in Oregon! I was one of the five missionary speakers. Over 500 people attended and more than 10 had answered God’s call to go and make disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ! The Bible study was uplifting and the fellowship was heavenly! I even reunited with people that I haven’t seen for over forty years!
  • Our IBCC (Interactive Bible Correspondence Course) annual retreat is going to be held in Jiangxi again on September 30-October 4. A team of four people from the Bible Christian Church in Garden City, KS will help us lead the camp. They will share with our churches in Beijing, Sichuan and Jiujiang before coming to our retreat. Please pray for their visa applications, preparation, and safe travel! Some of our church leaders and Bible students will travel a long distance and many hours on crowded trains. Please pray for their travel mercies as well! 
  • The Nomad (National Outreach with Media And Discipleship) training camp will be led by GNPI (Good News Production International) in Hong Kong from October 17- 24. We are preparing to train 5 Nomad teams in 5 provinces in China. After many problems, we finally secured a camp site in Hong Kong for the training–thank God! Please pray for the GNPI trainers and our students! Pray that God will assign more partners to help us prepare more workers for the harvest in China!
  • Please continue to pray for Stacy and Fangfang as they prepare to attend Boise Bible College! Stacy was turned down twice for her visa application by the American consulate in China. Now she’s trying to come to school in Spring 2017. Fangfang still needs to get the required TOEFL score. She is working on her English. Please also pray that God will lead more good people to me for ministry continuation and development!
  • Two of our three book projects are now behind schedule. Please pray for our team to work in a disciplined and effective manner.
  • We are working on a name change for “Hong Kong Christian Mission” because the name is no longer matching the scope of our mission. I didn’t realize that this process is much more complicated than changing my “Wong Wing” to “Wing Wong.” After two months we are still in the middle of the work of name searches, logo design, and securing a domain name to register with the government. Thank God that Hannah is helping me to do most of the research! In the end, we will save thousands of dollars by doing the work in-house rather than hiring a firm to do this for us. Please pray that we will get this done before I head for China on September 15! We welcome any advice you may have for us in this!

  • Thank God for a personal Bible study Brandy had with Lily who has trouble in marriage. Please pray that the Lord will open her mind to know Him and will help her to overcome the marriage difficulty.

Pray for our leaders and members to use their spiritual gifts to overcome the obstacles to evangelism.
  • Thank God for the spiritual growth we have seen in some of our leaders from the church. We have been so encouraged to hear and see our leaders grow in making disciples. Praise God for them and others in the ministry who are reaching out to the community sharing the love of Christ.
