Chinese Christian Mission is one of our most faithful mission organizations sending monthly updates on various aspects of their ministries. Each month, a reflection is given regarding a general topic about daily living

This month’s missions focus is on Dr. David Eckman and Becoming What God Intended Ministries. Here is an update on their ministry.

Led by Pastor Anthony Chan, jnX served 5 churches in the Bay Area (including BACBC Alameda) in the first half of the year. Their ministry included preaching and leading worship in Sunday Services, sharing testimonies at church fellowship events, and conducting worship training workshops that covered both heart and technical issues.

CBM hosted a children’s day camp during the Chinese New Year break in Taiwan. It was a great experience for both the volunteers from the church and the local children. One camper who was invited by a classmate whose family attends their church plant was noticeably hostile to the Christian message at first. By the end of the camp, she had softened her demeanor and she and her sister even visited Sunday School a few weeks after the camp.
