A New Chapter in Canada’s Spiritual Heritage The Inauguration of the National Day of Prayer for Canada

By Pastor Maymie Lau   Uniting a Nation in Prayer and Hope On July 12, I attended the Inauguration of the National Day of Prayer for Canada. This historic event unfolded across the country, one that will shape the nation’s spiritual and cultural landscape for generations to come. The visionaries behind the National Day of Prayer for Canada sought to create not merely a date on the calendar, but a movement —one that would inspire generations of Canadians to recognize the importance of praying for Canada, acknowledging the faithfulness of God and Jesus as Lord over this nation. July 12  was chosen as the numbers 7 and 12

Your Answer to Jesus’ One Question Defines Your Life

By Joanna Ng Imagine this: A young man walks through the mall, holding hands with his fiancée. Suddenly, they encounter several of his old colleagues. Caught off guard and awkward when asked to introduce the woman beside him, he hesitates and replies, “Oh… this is my sister.” In that moment, he denies his love for his loved one and invalidates their relationship. One day, Jesus asked His disciples. Matthew 16:15-16, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” The disciples’ answers were cautious. “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” They avoided their declaration of Jesus’ place

【Interesting Adventures】Cherish Your Loved Ones

Author: Ancy Lee Translator: Pius Lee In recent days, I entertained special nostalgia about several members of my family. Hereafter, allow me to share them. Boldly pray for grandpa In the February issue titled “Mom braved the oceans to seek her parents”, I mentioned the anecdote that I prayed at my grandfather’s hospital bed for his healing. It was unthinkable that it was both my second and last opportunity to see him. My mind still had a clear and vivid recollection of his aged, frail, slim, and pale face accentuated by his sophisticated spectacle’s golden frame. Nonetheless, I am grateful that I am privileged to grab hold of

Working hard to live forever

“Whoever believes in me shall live.” John 11:17-27, 43-44. By Rev. Richard Choy As we, Christian believers, recently anticipated Easter Sunday, I was thinking about what would be an effective way to talk about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which we celebrated on that day, just as we do today. I came across a documentary entitled “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever” (Netflix). It is a documentary about Bryan Johnson, a man. The documentary is the story of Johnson’s ongoing journey to extend his life, to turn back the hands of time and its physical effects on his body. While most of us age and naturally

God’s Creation of Life & Man’s Choice of Death

Author: Timothy Tin Everyone has the freedom to choose; however, this freedom is limited and conditional. We can all choose what we like and how we do things when the situation or legal constraints bind us. For example, children cannot just take whatever they desire or play wherever they desire; they must obey their guardians and be subject to discipline, teaching, and self-regulation. This is why every child needs to receive the right kind of upbringing and education to be able to make sound choices. When God made man with a breath of life, it awakened the man and gave him an eternal spirit. Man can act on

The Incredible Transformation of Young Lives Across U-hub            

Nicole Wong Why Me? Embarking on the creation of Across U-hub was a challenging and unexpected journey. With a professional background in photography, visual design, and stage production, I found myself in Toronto, encountering many young Chinese Canadians who, despite their material resources and opportunities, were deeply unhappy. Their struggles deeply moved me, sparking a question that would guide my path: how could I help them? At the outset, I had no experience or knowledge of youth ministry, and I was at a loss for where to begin. All I could do was turn to prayer. Miraculously, my prayers were answered. A community of church brothers and sisters

Cultural Divide-Interesting Adventures

Author: Ancy Lee Born in Vietnam, my six siblings, including myself, lived in a Chinese town called “Cholon.” Cantonese was the business dialect that even the native Vietnamese learned to speak. Many of the Vietnamese natives sent their children to Chinese schools. Vietnamese and Chinese have many cultural similarities, but oddities remain between them that deny intermingling. It was not unusual for the Vietnamese to be jealous of the Chinese. They hurled name-calling such as “you bully” to their Chinese neighbours, meaning that the Chinese occupied their jobs, land, and economy. In the 1970s, the Chinese controlled 60% or more of the Vietnamese economy.  A Chinese person’s impression

Home-stay and campus fellowship in Japan

Storm Buster Series Pius Chi-Shing Lee   In 1988, I left Oslo for Tokyo on an early morning departure flight on a cold winter day. It was not a direct flight but had a relatively short overlay in Hong Kong. My destination was a small agricultural town in Aichi Prefecture (愛知縣), Central Japan. The last leg of the journey was by train from Tokyo to Aichi. Our plane approached Haneda Airport, Tokyo, around 8:00 pm local time. The vivid impression of a foreigner newly arrived in the megacity of Tokyo was indelible and resonates to this day. As a young man raised in Hong Kong and educated in

Narrow Escape of a Sure Death in Wars-Interesting Adventures

Author: Ancy Lee Translator: Pius Lee I was born in Vietnam with five siblings. I am a second generation immigrant. Therefore we were a busy household of eight. We lived in ChoLớn, South Vietnam. It is a city of Chinese immigrants. During the 60’s and early 70’s Vietnam had experienced many big and small fierce civil battles between the North and the South. The North was under a communistic regime and the South a capitalistic regime. The geographical divide between the two fractions was the Hue Province. Hue is situated 955 km from Ho Chi Minh City (previously Saigon), the capital of the southern fraction. Many residents fled

The Eternal Meaning Behind Thanksgiving

Author: Timothy Tin Translator: Mandy Kwan When people think of Thanksgiving, we often think of the bountiful feast with turkey and other dishes. How often do people remember the treacherous journey of the Puritans, who came upon the shores of North America on the Mayflowerand their harrowing experience as they settled upon Provincetown, Massachusetts? In fact, the significance of these first settlers point to something far more eternal and transcendent than just this annual American tradition. The Puritans were a small group of sojourners, in search of religious freedom, risked their lives and left their homeland to arrive on the American shores. They had not expected that this journey
