Malaysia, Benjamin Cheng
Taiwan, Cheng Tsung (Jerry) Chen
- All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. -2 Co 4:15 (NIV)
- Introduction: The NAV ministry on this island was started by the China Task Force in the 1970’s. By God’s grace, in the early 2000’s, the ministry leadership made a stable transfer from missionaries to nationals. Today our ministries include: campus, graduates, insider community, church discipleship, and Nav centers that integrate some of these. Strategic.
- Prayer Requests
  1. National Director Selection Council (NDSC) — The NDSC has met and prayed together for 2 days (March 12 to 13). After listening and seeking the guidance of the Lord, the NDSC has come to a consensus and proposed Wen-Jin Lin as the next ND with an NLT. About 40 stake holders will gather at the end of May to pray and make the final confirmation for our next ND. – Pray that the gathering of stake holders will seek the Lord together and affirm the proposal from NDSC, consisting of all area leaders, myself, and Huiming Wee (the chairman of Board of Directors). – Pray that the whole process ends up with unity and bring God glory. – Pray that the CORE will be shaped with clarity as we share the Words of God and listen to one another. – Pray that Wen-Jin Lin, anointed by God, has wisdom to choose and invite just the right people to join his team to lead the Navigators work in Taiwan.
  2. Graduate Ministries — In order to get more lifetime laborers, which is very key to the fulfillment of our calling, we need to focus on helping graduates keep growing as they transition to different stages of life. – Pray that the graduate ministries of different cities connect and support one another. – Pray that our graduates join local ministries as they move to other cities. – Pray that our graduates can witness Jesus in their workplaces by living in Christlikeness. – Pray that the Ekklesia, the community of the called, be built in every major city. Ask God to help us be transformed and strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that we can witness the Good News with confidence and boldness.
  3. Campus Ministries — As most of our staff are getting up there in years, we need to recruit more staff and missionaries to serve on campus. – Pray that we could recruit 2 new interns to be trained in the campus environment. – Pray for this new school year (starting September), that we would discover those recruits the Lord has prepared for us. And pray for both our student and staff teams to be effective in laying a new foundation for many generations. – Pray that we could recruit 5 fulltime staff and 3 missionaries in the next 3 years. – Pray for the revival of Tung-Hai University, where Taiwan Navs started its first collegiate ministry. Timothy & Cynthia Wang are restarting the ministry in THU. After 2 years laboring on the campus, they managed to recruit a group of 10 students. Pray for more laborers to join this ministry. – Pray for the revival of Chung-Yuan University, one of our most fruitful campuses in the past. Pray for Jun-Yi Lee, the campus director, filled by Holy Spirit, to model and lead with heavenly wisdom so that all laborers serve with passion and love from God.
  4. Insider Ministries – Over the last ten years we have developed many types of insider networks. We are seeing some fruit, but have yet to raise up new generations of laborers in these contexts. – Pray for a community of Insider Ministries where we can meet regularly to encourage one another and learn to be more effective through both our failures and successes. – Pray that God would strengthen our insider laborers and leaders with faith, wisdom, and courage to persevere in self-sacrificing relationships that will penetrate community networks with salt, light and transforming grace. – Pray that new generations of laborers will emerge from these contexts.
  5. Leadership Development – We need to develop a new generation of leaders who are willing and capable of taking on national leadership responsibilities. We have initiated a series of equipping programs that would expose younger staff to our national leadership. – Pray for the new ND and NLT, that God would enable them to organize a few working teams consisting of younger staff to serve our national needs. And in the meantime, pray the younger staff will be developed through working and learning together. – Pray that God would raise up new leaders who are passionate in cultivating a deep relationship with Himself, and are effective in “completing the assignment” He has given us throughout the coming decade. – Pray that God would bring the next generation of leaders together, edifying one another, learning from one another and serving with one heart in implementing the CORE.
