The Priority in 2009 is Winning Souls

I was in Pittsburgh, PA, USA when the world crossed from the 20th Century to the 21st Century. At that time, the television programs were hot about Y2K. Everybody said that the world would go through a crisis similar to the End-time. Everything would collapse around us. The computer systems around the world would fail and so does every other system. However, nothing really serious happened. 2000 came and left us in a hurry.

Since then, we were hit by many mega-calamities from 9-11 to Tsunami. From global warming to run-away weather patterns. Now we have made it to 2009 and I believe we are closer to the End Time than ever before. The natural world is convulsing and now the economic crisis spreads over the world like a dark sinister flood. Wars, poverty and a thousand other unreported calamities continue to plague us. For me and many other pastors, we know that this is not just the End Time but the End of the End Time.

The hearts of many are troubled and they may not know how to deal with the new situations. This is the time, they need to know the hope that Jesus has provided. They need to know that this world is not their only home but that God has a better place for them. Therefore, we need to share the Gospel more intensely and let the world know that their Creator God loves them very much. And that their Father in Heaven does not want them to end up in the place of the devils.

Souls are dying and we have to find ways to convince them that they need salvation provided by Jesus Christ. Elijah Challenge is just one of the many ways by which we can use to apply to this task. By showing the tangible power and authority of Jesus to heal the infirm and thus prove that Jesus is real and alive.

Those who have been trained during the Elijah Challenge training seminars, we encourage you to use all that God has given you to heal the infirm and preach the Gospel. "Power Evangelism" is needed because the present society is more skeptical about the reality of God. People need to know that what they believe is the Truth.

Please pray for our Founders and Directors, Pastor William and Pastor Lucille Lau, as they serve God from their base in Houston. Please pray also for all the Elijah Challenge coordinators from your area and around the world.

kindly pray for me and Sister Grace as we continue to minister from Kuala Lumpur.

We promise to pray for all of you, our precious Elijah Challengers as you move mightily in the name of Jesus and win many souls. The priority of the New Year is winning souls.

God bless and please have a very happy and fruitful New Year. May you win many souls to the kingdom of God.

In Christ Alone,
Pastor Albert Kang
Coordinator
