The Apostle Paul envisioned a mission blueprint that was intricate yet profoundly harmonious: many gifts originate from one Holy Spirit, and diverse kinds of services are offered by the same Lord. God orchestrates various works in unity according to His will for the benefit of humanity. This vision is evident in our fourth season of service. Over the past three months, the Lord has enabled Praxis to connect various institutions and churches, both locally in Hong Kong and internationally. The synergy created through these collaborations affirms the truth of the scriptures: we are not alone; we are brothers and sisters in the body of Christ, working together to create goodness.
1. Innovative thinking meets mission blueprint
On October 10 and December 12, Praxis Church Network had the privilege of hosting Professor Erwin Huang and Dr. Ben Wong. They shared insights on artificial intelligence, community service, and the Church’s mission blueprint. The Church seeks to release resources to foster new opportunities and establish diverse faith communities beyond its walls. These two lectures inspired a wealth of new ideas, encouraging today’s parishes to engage meaningfully with the current generation.
2. Youth engaging with community scavengers
3. When Praxis meets a BREAKTHROUGH
4. When San Francisco meets Sendai City
In early November, Pastor Allen visited local Chinese churches in San Francisco, USA, alongside Global Trust Partners (GTP). He held two lectures entitled "Why Community Matters to Me?" to discuss how GTP supports church governance, policies, and structures, and to share the work of Praxis in the community. Later that month, Praxis, along with volunteer chefs from Blessed to Share1, traveled to Sendai City to prepare a feast for underprivileged individuals. During this trip, we had the opportunity to learn about the community services provided by Praise Community Church (PCC) and Operation Blessing Japan (OBJ), fostering mutual understanding and collaboration.
