Our team of short-term missioners from Victory-Quezon City,

under the leadership of Pastor Dan Harder, is back from our 13-day mission trip to the region of Macau and God used each one of us to be a blessing to our local church (EN Macau) there and to the Macanese during our brief stay.

We maximized our time in Macau by conducting various activities to lead people to Christ and bless the local believers. We engaged students from the University of Macau and the Macau University of Science and Technology, ministered to the church leaders and had prayer walks in different parts of the region.

We engaged college students from the University of Macau
(UM) and the Macau University of Science and Technology
(MUST) through activities like bowling, dining out and English tutorials. One of the highlights of our time with the Macanese was our training with the UM Taekwondo team. The training proved to be a means of establishing our friendship with the students and connecting them to our local leaders from EN Macau.

Incidentally, during our stay, most of the full time staff from EN Macau were in the Philippines waiting for visas in order to go back so we had the privilege of helping our spiritual family in Macau by serving them in various areas. Pastor Dan preached the Word on the two Sundays we were there. We strengthened the worship team by conducting a training on Music Theory and Worship. We also had a teaching on Prayer and Intercession where afterwards, members from the church gathered together to form an Intercessory team. One of the major events during our stay was the prophetic presbytery we organized in order to strengthen, encourage and comfort the leaders in church.

Also, we knew the importance of prayer in any move of God so we made sure to include this in our agenda. Almost every morning, we would go to key and strategic locations in Macau and we conducted prayer walks there. We visited the Fisherman’s Wharf, the original trading center of Macau, and prayed at the Guia lighthouse, which overlooks the region of Macau. We also prayed at the Macau-mainland China border that God would bring in more missionaries to that place.

During our brief yet fruitful stay, we saw a region so bright from the artificial lights of casinos but so in need of the true light of God’s Word. We believe our stay there is only the beginning of God’s redemptive plan for that place.It has truly been a privilege to partner with you. Thank you for your prayers and support in reaching Macau for Christ. 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, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (ESV)
