AMMiC at 2017 ACNA Provincial Assembly

The 2017 Anglican Church in North America Provincial Assembly, with the theme of Mission On Our Doorstep, is an opportunity for everyone across the continent to gather and be united “as church”. As part of the Assembly, there will be many different workshops, networking events, and sub-conferences. AMMiC will be leading a sub-conference on Asian and Multicultural Ministries. The presentation team, led by Bishop Stephen Leung, will share the experience of ministering to Asian immigrants in North America.

“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’” (Rev.7:9-10 ESV)

In this day and age, with so many nations becoming our next door neighbours, the vision revealed to the Apostle John at Patmos has become an imminent reality. How can the Anglican Church in North America grow strong multi-ethnic ministries that are engaging and relevant to immigrants and their families? What examples are there to sparkle our imagination and creativity in ministry?

Yesterday, the Church of All Nations (Japanese) celebrated Tanabata, a Japanese star festival.  People generally celebrate this day by writing wishes on a paper strips and hanging them on bamboo tree, sometimes with other decorations.  At All Nations, the kids wore their Yukata and Samue and wrote their prayers to our heavenly Father.  Then the prayers were hung up on a bamboo branch.

New Eden Gardening Ministry Started

The Church of All Nations (Japanese)’ New Eden gardening ministry started about a month ago. They had worked in the field twice already (of course, someone goes to check and work in the field almost everyday). We thank God for the good weather and the good time we had together. For photos, go to the website www.allnationscanada.ca

It’s fun, therapeutic and relaxing to work in the field: ploughing, Weeding, Seed planting, etc. If you enjoy the smell of grass, the touch of the soil, great time of chatting with friends in Japanese and/or English, and enjoy light lunch prepared by a little girl, you are welcome to join us. The next meeting will be on June 7 (Sat) from 10:00am to 2:00pm (meeting every other Saturday).

Please contact Rev. Shihoko Warren at shihoko@ammic.ca for details.

Then she met Ale who desired to have her internship at All Nations. Prior to Gateway, Ale had lived in Japan as a short-term missionary, and she also been involved in children ministry for long time.

We thank God for giving us Ale who has passion for the Japanese mission to be our help.
