February 2011 Dear mission partners, Mission organizations need to partner with churches to be effective. Ever since COCM started, we have been endeavoring to establish Chinese churches throughout the UK and Europe. As the churches grow, some of them in turn have become our mission supporters. In January, I was privileged to visit and shared in Bristol Chinese Christian Church, Milton Keynes Chinese Christian Church, Chinese Church in London, Cardiff Chinese Christian Church, Cambridge Chinese Christian Church and Chinese Evangelical Church in Edinburgh. We praise God that COCM has made contributions in starting, supporting and encouraging the growth of these churches in the past years. On 16th January, I attended the 60th Anniversary of Chinese Church in London (CCiL). Sixty years ago on the se-‐ cond Sunday in January, the founder of COCM, Pastor Stephen Wang and a small group of Christians started their first Sunday service in London. Since then, the church has been actively reaching out to the Chinese dias-‐ pora in London and beyond. The church started with few dozen people and now they have more than one thousand worshipping the Lord in ten congregations in various locations of London. We pray that CCiL will con-‐ tinue to be the shining light among the Chinese to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We also praise the Lord that CCiL has been our mission partners for many years supporting our mission throughout the UK and Europe. In this coming year, again we will partner in sharing the gospel to the students in the Midlands as well as the new immigrants in Europe through COCM arranged short-‐term mission trips. The following Saturday, I celebrated with Cardiff Chinese Christian Church (CCCC) for the dedication of their new church centre. The church started with a humble beginning and gathered every week at a borrowed place. In their early days, we sent our missionaries to support them. Today we see that the church owns three different buildings at two premises so that they can worship in three different languages simultaneously. God’s amazing providence is truly wonderful. We pray that CCCC will continue to be a witness of God’s bless-‐ ing in the Southwest. People are always a vital part in mission. I just came back from Chinese Evangelical Church in Edinburgh (CECE) and we had a wonderful commissioning service for our youngest missionary staff – Yutian Li. Yutian grew up in a Christian family in China. While he was studying in Edinburgh, he attended CECE, which is his home church away from home. The church is generously supporting him as our mission partner by being his sending church. They do this not because they are big in number, nor are they strong in finance, but because they have a heart for mission; they give as much as they are able, and even beyond their ability, just like the church in Macedo-‐ nia. We thank God for this partnership and pray that we will have more partners like them in the future. It is also my joy to share with you another addition to our missionary family -‐ Tzyy Terng Su and his wife May Wu. They grew up in Taiwan and had been serving in various roles in the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT) for many years. In recent years, they came to the UK for further study and did some voluntary work in Scot-‐ land. Over the past two years, Tzyy Terng and May have been helping COCM in many areas of support-‐ ing ministry. We thank God for our new partnership with the PCT in Taiwan and we pray that more churches would see the great needs in Europe and would come join us in the mission frontline. May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen our partnership with many like-‐minded churches and organiza-‐ tions in the Gospel, so together we will glorify His name in Europe! Serving together in Christ, Rev. Henry Lu General Director
二零一一年二月 親愛的宣教夥伴們， 宣教機構必須與教會建立合作夥伴關係才能有效地進行宣教。自從 COCM 成立以來，我們 就一直致力於在英國和歐洲大陸建立華人教會，當這些教會慢慢成長之時，他們其中的一些就 成為了我們的宣教夥伴。今年一月，我有幸拜訪並在一些教會中分享。這些教會包括布里斯托 華人基督教會、米頓堅華人基督教會、倫敦中華基督教會 (CCiL)、卡迪夫華人基督教會、劍橋 華人基督教會以及愛丁堡華人福音教會。 1 月 16 日，我參加了倫敦中華基督教會六十週年感恩崇拜。正是六十年前一月的第二個星 期日，COCM 與 CCiL 共同的創始人王又得牧師在倫敦和一小群基督徒一起開始了華人主日崇拜。 從那時開始，教會就開始積極向身處海外的華人傳福音，從開始時只有十幾個人聚會，到如今 已經發展成有上千會友，十堂崇拜的教會。我們禱告 CCiL 能繼續在伦敦的華人和当地人群體中 分享耶穌基督的大好消息，成為明亮的燈台。我們也感謝主，在過去的日子中，COCM 與 CCiL 建立了相當緊密的宣教夥伴關係，CCiL 在英國和歐洲大陸的各項福音事工上都給與我們極大的 支持。今年，我們仍將通過短宣繼續在英格蘭中部的學生福音事工和歐洲大陸的新移民福音事 工上一同合作。 1 月 22 日，我前往卡迪夫華人基督教會，與那裡的弟兄姊妹一同慶賀教會擴建新堂。早年， COCM 通過差派宣教士幫助卡迪夫教會的建立和發展。卡迪夫教會最開始只是在租借的地點聚 會，如今，我們看到他們已經成為了一個擁有兩處堂址三幢建築的教會。每個主日，教會三種 不同語言的崇拜可以同時在不同的地方進行。神的供應實在是奇妙豐富！我們禱告卡迪夫教會 能帶著神的祝福，在英國的西南部與更多人分享福音。 人力資源是宣教最關鍵的因素之一。我剛剛從愛丁堡華人福音教會回來，在那裡舉行了我 們差會最年輕的宣教士李雨天弟兄的差遣禮。雨天成長在中國大陸的一個基督徒家庭，他在愛 丁堡大學求學期間參加愛丁堡華人福音教會的聚會，於是這個教會也成了他在異鄉的母會，並 成為他的差派教會。即使愛丁堡華人福音教會在人力和財力上都還處在發展階段，但是因著他 們有宣教的熱誠，就願意像當年的馬其頓教會那樣，竭盡所能支持宣教。我們也繼續禱告主能 興起更多像這樣的宣教夥伴。 同時，我也很高興向大家宣布，今年我們又有一對新的宣教士蘇子騰和伍于美夫婦加入我 們的行列。他們都成長在台灣並在高雄的長老教會系统里參與各項服事。幾年前，他們來到英 國繼續深造並在蘇格蘭各地參與了很多義工服務。同時，子騰和于美也在過去的兩年中在 COCM 義務服事，主要從事後勤事工和圖像設計。他們將作為台灣長老教會差派和支持的宣教 士加入我們的團隊。我們感謝主讓我們與台灣的長老教會建立這樣的宣教夥伴關係。我們也禱 告更多的教會能看到歐洲福音的需要，並加入歐洲宣教的第一線。 願神繼續祝福和鞏固我們與志同道合的教會和福音機構之間的宣教夥伴關係，藉此我們能 一同興旺福音，讓神的名在歐洲得著高舉！ 在主裡與你們同工的， 呂子峰牧師 總幹事
