Agape House Fellowship 愛家

Suddenly I realize that AHF is just like a baby passing her first year mark - learning to speak, stand-up and walk.  Wobbly she walks but barely runs.  Every turn there is expectation and then came the surprise because she does not grow according to the textbook. 

 Indeed, a church grows as we grow because we are the church!!  Church is not like the government, school, hospital or social club that we all experience and know how it serves us.  Church in the original Greek is clearly defined to be the people that are called out to live out God's purpose on the earth.   Church growth should be an natural collective outcome of the growth of each members.  Just like a tree, it grows because every element of its body functioning normally and growing naturally.  

In 2010, I feel the Lord is leading me and my family to grow in these four areas:

Agape Love

Back to Basics

Church of Two

Disciple the Nations

There are not intended to be the "textbook" but the guideline for us to plan seeds from God's word and exam ourselves looking for a balanced growth.  

To facilitate this, we have put together a tri-fold page as a hand-out from Saturday House.  Here I include an electronic version for those who did not make it to Saturday House.  

And when this year ends, I pray that all of us at AHF can share testimonies as Jeng-Bang and Hsun-Mei shared on Zoe: we grow in the love of Christ together.
