Emmanuel Anglican Church attends talk with Agnes Chiang

The Most Wonderful Blessing in Life with speaker Agnes Chiang.

The Most Wonderful Blessing in Life with speaker Agnes Chiang.

The Most Wonderful Blessing in Life with Agnes Chiang was held in Boston last Saturday. More than 170 attended the two gatherings in Cantonese and Mandarin. Ms Chiang shared touching stories in her own family where the gospel changed the lives of the members one after another. At the end, 22 of the attendees came forward to accept Jesus Christ. May the churches in Boston follow up with them to let them truly understand the gospel, so that their lives can be changed forever as well. May our Lord be praised with all honor and glory!

Ms Chiang also shared the work of Left-behind Children’s Ministry in China, unveiling a severe social problem caused by the rapid economic boom in the country. Offerings were collected in support of the ministry.

After the second event in the afternoon, Agnes had dinner with the organizers in Boston. Though she was exhausted from days of travel on her tour and the back-to-back engagements in the afternoon, she actively engaged in conversations and listened to the stories behind the founding of Emmanuel Anglican Church. She shared the importance of

upholding Biblical truth when we live in a world where “lies become truth” and where it becomes increasingly challenging to raise the next generation. She didn’t depart Boston until well after 10pm on a 2-hour journey to Portland, Maine, where the next engagement would begin at 10 in the morning!

Agnes received the vision and responded quickly to open the doors for children ministries in China, where such work was once forbidden. May the churches in the Boston area also respond quickly to the callings and proclaim the gospel truth in the communities around us. May the Lord bless the ministries of Agnes and the Love Foundation. May His name be glorified on earth as it is in heaven.
