AABA Update from Louis Lee (MESA) - 04.19.07

This AABA (Asian American Bay Area) Fellowship update contains the following notes -

1. 2008 AALC in LA on March 24-26, 2008, features Dr. John Townsend.
2. Church seeks pastor/Campus Crusade for Christ ministry for Asian students.
3. Super low prices for SF Giants tix/Monterey Bay Aquarium guest passes available only thru July, 2007!

1. 2008 AALC in LA on March 24-26, 2008, features Dr. John Townsend.

Dates have now been set for the second ever national Asian American Leadership Conference (AALC) in LA on Mon-Wed, March 24-26, 2008. One main speaker will be Dr. John Townsend (http://www.cloudtownsend.com/2townsend.htm). Other main speakers and workshop teachers TBA soon.

Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for this rare gathering of Asian American pastors, parachurch leaders, and seminarians from all over the nation. The first AALC event drew over 400 leaders. We expect over 500 to attend in 2008.

Why yet another leadership conference? Because this is the only leadership conference contextualized for Asian American ministry. The purpose of the AALC is to help encourage and equip those who serve the evangelical Asian American community.

Please consider having your church/ministry become an official "partner." Partners commit to pray, promote, and provide financially (any amount). Over 60 churches and ministries served as partners for the first AALC in 2004. We are trusting the Lord for over 100 partners for this 2008 event.

Reach Asian College Students at Your Local College and Epic Summer Project in San Jose, June 21-July 21

Dear Fellow Servants in the Lord,

In January 2007 I started serving as a Campus Minister with Campus Crusade for Christ. My desire is to bring the gospel to the thousands of Asian students at our local state and community colleges. Many of you may have college students who are enrolled at SJSU, CSUEB, SFSU, DeAnza, etc. I am serving with Crusade’s San Francisco Metro Ministry which has developed a simple multiplying movement model to reach students on these commuter campuses. (see “G3’s” on www.metamore.org )
If you have a vision of expanding your church’s ministry to the local college campus in your area I’d like to hear your dream and also share with you how we can partner together to expand God’s kingdom on the campus and bring them into the church.
In addition, our Asian focused ministry, “Epic,” will be running a month long summer project this summer in San Jose from June 21-July 21. If you or your students would like to be trained how to start a ministry on a local campus you’re invited to join our training. (Tommy Dyo is the National Director for the Epic Movement).
I am available to minister to your church for Sunday speaking, seminars, or training. (Evangelism, marriage, etc.). Thanks in advance for giving me the opportunity to serve your and your churches and to help expand God’s kingdom here in the Bay Area.

Pursuing the King and His Kingdom,
Arthur Lum (Contact me at ArtLumCCC-at-aol-dot-com or 408-896-8065.)

***************************************************

Please remember we have two fully transferable guest passes for the world class Monterey Bay Aquarium, at least through the end of July, 2007. Since the aquarium dramatically raised the price for the family membership that includes these two guest passes (now $250 a year vs just $$120 for a regular family membership w/o the guest passes), its unlikely we will renew our membership past this July. So please let me know ASAP when you want to use these two guest passes between now and July 31, 2007! (individual rates for the aquarium are now $26 for adults and $16 for kids 3-12!)
