New TMC English Ministries Pastoral Couple
31 Oct 2024TMC
Follow-up from Sep 16 post, “Possible Full-Time TMC English Ministries Couple.”
On Sunday Oct 27 TMC members voted to invite Matthew & Ai Hua as full-time English ministries pastoral couple. A few days later they accepted. Praise the Lord! The Wongs are from Malaysia and are native English speakers but also speak Chinese. They both have MDiv degrees from Malaysia and Matthew also has a DMin.
They have been pastoring a Chinese church north of Tokyo that has sponsored their Japanese visas. They will now need to find a sending mission agency in Malaysia. Their legal receiving agency in Japan can be ServeBeyond through a longstanding agreement with ReachGlobal (EFCA). TMC can only supply the Wongs with a stipend so they will need to raise funds before coming to TMC—perhaps spring next year.
