This month, as we celebrate our 22nd anniversary, we need to be thankful and rejoice God’s goodness towards us. Let us ponder, if Jesus were to write a letter to us like He wrote to the seven Churches in the book of Revelation, what would you think He would say?
We agree with Elder Chan who sees the three areas that High Praise Assembly needs to build further.
i) We need to grow into MATURITY
(Eph 4:14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.)
ii) We need SUCCESSION (Raising up the second generation)
(Exo 3:6 And He said, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.)
iii) We need EVANGELISM
(Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,)
Dear beloved, let us grow up together, raise our second generation, evangelize and fulfill the Great Commission God has entrusted to us.
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for leading us through all these 22 years. We believe You will lead us to the end. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.

亲爱的，
本月当我们同庆二十二年周年纪念时，我们需要感恩并因着神向我们所施的美善欢欣快乐！让我们思想一下，如果耶稣要写一封信给我们就像在启示录中他写信给七间教会一样，你想他会说些什么呢？
我们认同陈长老所说的，就是高赞教会在以下三方面必须更多着重及加强。
（1）我们必须成长以至成熟的阶段
以弗所4：14 “使我们不再作小孩子， 中了人的诡计和欺骗的法术，被一切异教之风摇动，飘来飘去，就随从各样的异端。”
（2）我们必须有继承者(接班人）
出埃及记3：6 “我是你父亲的神，是亚伯拉罕的神，以撒的神，雅各的神。”摩西蒙上脸，因为怕看神。
（3）我们必须传福音
马太28：19“所以你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父子圣灵的名，给他们施洗。”
亲爱的，让我们一起成长，提拔下一代，传福音和成全神所托附我们的大使命。
亲爱的天父，我们感谢你带领我们走过这二十二年。我们相信你必领导我们到最后。奉耶稣的名，阿们。
林必信牧师
