In 2023, guided by the spirit of "Promote, Connect, Co-create," the CCCOWE organized the Future Church @ Penang summit. The conference sincerely invited pastors from Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore, totaling 72 ministers, to engage in a 4-day exchange and dialogue. Together, they explored three main themes for the future church: "Gospel Mission," "Discipleship Training," and "Global Mission."
In 2024, in addition to pastors from Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore, we will extend invitations to pastors from Hong Kong and Indonesia. The aim is to delve deeper into the challenges faced by the Chinese churches—how to overcome pastoral challenges with the younger generation, how to be a light and salt in the rapidly evolving media and technology landscape, how pastors can provide holistic workplace shepherding and discipleship, and what the future development of the church entails. How does the unchanging gospel manifest in the future church?
God is the God of all generations, continually doing new things in each era. We sincerely invite you to participate in the 2024 gathering, where we can explore together the heart of God for the church in this era.
