Dancing into the Future
Dancing
into the Future
At the start of this year, OMF hosted an induction ceremony of our General Director, the 11th in our history. Joseph Chang with his wife, Lori, come to us via Taiwan. They, like us, now call Singapore home.
How does a new leader step into the role prayerfully, with grace, confidence, boldness, and humility? Perhaps the same way any of us might approach the throne of grace?
Joseph is casting vision for us—here in Singapore and across the globe. And he has named five initiatives for us to focus on for the next few years. He likes to group them together with a unifying theme, “Dancing into the Future.”
It would take much time to unpack each initiative clearly and simply, but I do invite you to ponder what these initiatives mean for us and for the peoples of East Asia. Eunice has been praying and creating crocheted art to reflect these concepts.
Join us and our org in praying and pondering how we might dance into the future with the Lord of the dance Himself. And how we might more effectively share the good news of Jesus Christ in all its fullness.
Go Deeper
Ephesians 3:17-19: ESV
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Go Farther
1 Chronicles 4:10: ESV
Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.
Go Faster
James 1:19
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
Go Smarter
Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
James 1:5, 6
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Go Together
Amos 3:3
Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
