Asian Conferences (Oct. 21-24)

Burmese Pastors conference
Asian Ministers/Seminarians conference
Asian Concurs conference

"Three conferences in three days" It sounds like 'Three days and three nights' Jesus was in the tomb. We were constantly listening the conference speakers, theme speakers, testimonies, and sharing through out three days. I felt much like staying put before the resurrection day on the third day. Well don't get me wrong, I received much blessings by knowing what other do in their ministries. Food service was great and hospitality from the host church "Chin Baptist Church" was awesome.



I and Sayama Aye Thaw were able to attend the workshops like, Ministry resources, Women ministry, Educational resources, etc.. Books were bought and made connection with Burmese and other Asian ministers.



These conference leaders, including Rev. Florance Li and others had encouraged us and provided us with ministry resources. Although it was tired some but we received much blessings and encouragements with this conference experience. Surely, we will join again the Asian Concurs meeting at American Baptist Bi-annual meeting in Pasadena, California.

Enjoy the clip, see how the grown-ups get down to childhood again. We are delighted by the speech of General Secretary Dr. Roy Medley of ABCUSA.

New Comers Workshop at OBMBC

Many New Comers who recently arrived in U.S. were gathered for the one day workshop at OBMBC. Dinning Hall was filled with enthusiasm and smile faces through out the day. Many San Jose and Santa Clara group arrived with a loaded Bus.



Questions from youth group about the education issue were being asked. Sanda Shwe and Zarni did the slide presentation on the topic of the education opportunity at U.S..



Bryan Gracia who is professionally working as crisis counselor educates the new comers with the topic on 'How to manage and prevent the personal or family crisis.'





IRC and Catholic Charity groups joined us in our discussions. They presented their roles of helping the new comers and took some questions from the crowd.



Our Moderator, Lawrence Chow also guided the new comers with their personal income tax and insurance related issues.



I heard feedback from the attendees saying that they would come again for another round of this kind of workshop to learn 'what need to know' in order to live a new life in this country.

Wedding Gift

I would like to share with you the Korean tradition of "wedding gift". The video will show you the wedding gift that Bride's family presents to the Groom's family. There are different types of seeds in it with all kinds of sweet snacks. The seeds represent boys and girls children that the couple might have in future. The center piece is chicken which both wings are tied up through its mouth. Which symbolize submission from the Bride toward the Groom. It is new thing to see.

Fresh Fire!

Youth Fellowship, Young Adult Fellowship and College Student Fellowship groups are joining together and begin a 'Fresh Fire' worship service last Sunday.

This service will be held at 4:00 PM in the Sanctuary every Sunday. Please join us for the Spirit-filled and inspirational worship. We see you there this Sunday!

Youth at the Family Camp!

It's a great blessing for me and all of us to attend the Family camp on Labor day weekend. The most enjoyable time was sharing God's word with youth. We have the theme "Here I am: Enabling Grace within You" based on three sections of biblical discussion and application.





First section the letter "D" represents, 'Discovering your spiritual growth,' which we discover our position of growth in relationship with God. Second letter "E" represents 'Engaging in Ministry' which we must engage ourselves in God's ministry where by we must involve and serve in local churches. Third letter "A"represents, 'Amplify in the world' which means our Christian living should be amplifying or radical living in the world.





The exciting part for me was that youth never stop talking about the Bible and Faith even after the class hours over. They go beyond 2 to 3 AM in the morning. I admire their enthusiasm for God and love for His truth.
