AFJ Leaders of Honor & Advance
To be in charge of a church, the leading pastors may feel lonely most of the time. Because of the burden we have for leaders and pastors, we look forward to building a deeper connection with all the pastors we’ve connected throughout the years by having monthly letters and irregularly gatherings, in hope of creating a network where the pastors may support one another. Whenever they feel stuck, there can be an open space for sharing and discussion, and to further find out that it’s actually a challenge other people are facing as well. We may all get stuck sometimes, and yet through vulnerable sharing and casting those anxiety into God’s hands through prayers, we may see things from a different perspective. In addition to the pastors’ luncheons during conferences, we also plan to have irregularly online discussion and live Q&A session. Through this network, we hope you find partners to work on transforming your cities with.
Asia for JESUS Leaders’ Retreat
Starting from the "Leaders’ Retreat" in 2011, the participating pastors have gradually extended from young pastors to older pastors, and have also extended from the pastors to families of these pastors. In the retreat, we shared with the leaders a healthy view of the church from the context of the Kingdom Culture: the balance between ministry and family life, the realization of personal dreams and visions, and the relationship between husbands and wives. As the pastors rested and enjoyed the Presence of God in the retreats, the pastors are able to gain fresh anointing and revelations, continue in living out God’s callings for them.
Trip of Grace and Favor for three generations
In the past, we have invited more than 50 pastors and their wives to travel together. We saw the leaders enjoying their times with their spouses on the journey, sharing their visions and thoughts from different perspectives, and the two generations sharing fun and beautiful stories. We thank God for giving us the opportunity to serve the leaders of Taiwan. We believe that God does not only choose individuals or a single church. God chooses "us". When "we" are willing to bypass the generations, denominations and preferences, the glory of God and revival of the country will continue on in His glory!
