Challenges Facing the Asian Church Today

• 2nd generation Asians do not return to their 1st
  generation home church
• Churches lack understanding of, and resources for
  ministry to 2nd generation Asians
• Unable to find a full-time youth or English
  pastor
• Few English speaking pastors available for the
  Asian American community
• Ministry needed to provide mentoring and training
  to the second generation

Words on the Street?
We see the need to present the gospel to all
people and ethic groups who are within reach of
our church. But we lack the manpower to get the
job done. We want to start the ministry by
preparing the ground so that it will be good
soil. When our second generation are
evangelized, discipled and trained, they can then
be empowered to reach our community.
Edmund Yeung Sr. Pastor Faith Chinese Alliance
It is vitally important that we minister
effectively to the second generation because
there is great potential for them to be workers
who will build Gods kingdom. They have
opportunities, not only to reach China, but the
entire world. Unfortunately, many are turning
away from the church rather than being turned on
to God. It is time to empower the second
generation to launch another Great Awakening.
Craig Ing, Volunteer Youth Worker The Lords
Grace Church
We need to see the 1st generation embracing the
2nd generation by blessing, supporting, and
releasing them to follow their God given
destinies in the same way Elijah mentored
Elisha. The young need to be given the freedom to
pursue their calling which God has put upon them.
The warrior (the church) needs the bow to launch
the arrow (the youth) by giving them the
approval, support and prayers to send them
equipped into the world (Psalm 1274).
Jaeson Ma, 21 yrs old Entrepreneurial
Assistant The River Church Community

Mentoring Cell - Curriculum

• Distinctives of Ministry for the
  Postmodern/Millennial Generation In order to do
  effective ministry in the 21st century, the
  church cannot depend upon methods used in the
  past. The gospel message remains the same, but
  the way in which it is communicated must speak to
  the minds and hearts of todays generation.
• Ministry in the Context of Second Generation Too
  often, bilingual Asian churches try to apply the
  same strategy for ministry to all groups. But
  those who have been born or raised in the western
  world will receive, process and give information
  in radically different ways. We can make
  ministry more relevant if we know how to
  communicate the message.
• Follow Up on Listening to the Voice of God Mark
  Yacconellis presentation will generate many
  thoughts, ideas and vision regarding your
  ministry. Interact with others in a synergistic
  effort to put our ministries in touch with what
  God desires to do in our local churches.
• Planning Your Annual Ministry With the coming of
  the new school year, our churches will be looking
  to starting up ministry again after the summer.
  Staying focused on a vision for the entire year
  will generate more results rather than jumping
  from topic to topic as you go along.
• Youth AlphaYouth Alpha is one of the greatest
  tools currently available to help students share
  their faith with friends. We will follow up the
  training with a brainstorming session to help
  each other get Alpha going in our churches.
  Bring your ideas and see how we can work
  together.
• Foundations SeminarThe Foundations Seminar will
  give us a number of tools to help us in providing
  effective ministry. Well take more time to
  empty the toolbox and see what is useful in our
  churches. Be sure to bring your entire ministry
  team to participate in this session.
