Greetings from the Director
by Craig Wong - GUM Newsletter, Spring 2009
It has been our joyous privilege, these past few years, to discover GUM’s growing role in connecting congregations together in acts of service. Sometimes such acts of service are ministries or events that GUM has organized at a congregation’s behest. In other cases, they are church-led outreaches that require the assistance of folks from other congregations. In any case, the joy comes in seeing brothers and sisters from different churches joining together in ways that foster mutual learning, faith, spiritual encouragement and conversion. Thus, we are grateful for your many prayers for the recent health collaborations, for example, the work of New Hope Community Church among the Burmese refugee community in Oakland, Redeemer Community Church’s “Health Day” at Willie Brown Academy, and Grace Fellowship Community Church’s dental screening for Holy Family Day Home.
Up next, we ask your prayers for the planning of the Mission Street Health Fair, set for Saturday, October 17th at San Francisco Christian Center, and involving over eight local congregations. May the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in, and through, His Church!
