Part 3 - Line 4a
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE MAJOR TASKS ACCOMPLISHED BY DA L.A. CHURCH NETWORK & KNOW WONDER MEDIA IN 2023.1. NEW BREAKTHROUGHS IN COMBINING TECHNOLOGY AND FAITH: IN 2023, WE MADE SIGNIFICANT BREAKTHROUGHS IN VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY, SUCCESSFULLY CREATING THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACES SUCH AS "PAUL'S FIRST MISSIONARY JOURNEY", " VIRTUAL CAMPUS OF THE MALAYSIA BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY", AND "EAST LOS ANGELES JOINT PRAYER MEETING". THESE INNOVATIONS ALLOW US TO SHARE OUR FAITH IN COMPLETELY NEW WAYS, INTEGRATING GOSPEL MINISTRY, THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION, AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY. THIS IS NOT ONLY A TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION BUT ALSO A NEW PATH FOR BROADER AND MORE EFFECTIVE GOSPEL DISSEMINATION IN THE FUTURE.WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THESE TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS WILL BRING ABOUT EPOCH-MAKING CHANGES IN FUTURE CHURCH LIFE AND THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION. IMAGINE, THROUGH THESE VIRTUAL SPACES, PEOPLE CAN GROW TOGETHER IN TRUTH WITHOUT GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITATIONS, WHICH IS PRECISELY THE MISSION AND VISION WE PURSUE.2. NEW COWORKERS : THIS YEAR, WE WELCOMED THREE NEW COWORKERS. BROTHER SAMUEL LIN AND SISTER XINPING WANG JOINED " KNOW WONDER MEDIA TAIWAN" , AND THE EXPERIENCED PASTOR XIAOHUI TSAI, WHO JOINED THE " DA L.A. CHURCH NETWORK" .THEIR ARRIVAL HAS BROUGHT NEW STRENGTH AND INSPIRATION TO OUR TEAM, ENABLING US TO SERVE GOD'S KINGDOM MORE EFFECTIVELY.3.THE LEGENDARY STORY OF VIDEO PRODUCTION: OUR COWORKERS FROM THE UNITED STATES AND TAIWAN JOINED FORCES TO TRAVEL TO THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE IN THAILAND TO PRODUCE THE DEEPLY MOVING VIDEO "OUR STORY: AFTER EXILE - THE LEGENDARY LIFE OF LI CHANGRONG" . THIS IS NOT JUST A FILM BUT A TESTIMONY OF GOD'S LOVE, INSPIRING EACH ONE OF US.4. VISION SHARING & LECTURE TEACHING: IN THE PAST YEAR, KNOW WONDER MEDIA HELD VISION SHARING MEETINGS IN TAIWAN IN SEPTEMBER AND IN THE UNITED STATES IN NOVEMBER. THESE EVENTS NOT ONLY STRENGTHENED OUR CONNECTION WITH THE SAINTS IN THE CHURCHES BUT ALSO SERVED AS IMPORTANT PLATFORMS FOR SHARING GOD'S VISION AND MISSION.MOREOVER, WE HAVE ACHIEVED SOME SUCCESS IN THE FIELD OF LECTURE TEACHING. WE OFFERED A SERIES OF EXCITING COURSES AT "HARVEST BIBLE UNIVERSITY AND MALAYSIA BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY." WE WERE ALSO HONORED TO BE INVITED TO GIVE KEYNOTE LECTURES AT SEVERAL IMPORTANT MISSIONARY AND THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION EVENTS, INCLUDING "BREAD OF LIFE CHURCH MISSION SUNDAY," "NORTH AMERICAN TRUE LIGHT BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY," "GLOBAL CHINESE BAPTIST CHURCH MISSION CONFERENCE," "ABC EDUCATION AND TRAINING CONFERENCE," "LOS ANGELES BREAD OF LIFE CHURCH MISSION SPECIAL MEETING, AND NICODEMUS MINISTRY." THESE ACTIVITIES NOT ONLY STRENGTHENED OUR CONNECTION WITH THE GLOBAL CHURCH BUT ALSO PROVIDED US WITH PRECIOUS OPPORTUNITIES TO EXCHANGE AND SHARE WITH SAINTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.5. KINGDOM MINISTRY & WORLD MISSIONS: OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE HAVE MADE STRIDES IN KINGDOM MINISTRY AND WORLD MISSIONS. SINCE FEBRUARY 2021, OUR ONLINE MORNING SERVICES HAVE CONTINUED EVERY MONDAY TO FRIDAY AT 6 AM. THESE ARE NOT ONLY PRAYERS FOR OUR NATION, CURRENT AFFAIRS, AND CHURCH REVIVAL BUT ALSO AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR COMMUNAL FAITH LIFE. NOTABLY, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WE INITIATED THE "50 WEEKS FOR 50 STATES" FASTING AND PRAYER CAMPAIGN, DEDICATING ONE WEEK TO PRAY FOR BIBLICAL JUSTICE AND CHURCH REVIVAL IN EACH STATE. THIS REFLECTS OUR HOPE FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND OUR CONCERN FOR THE UNITED STATES.LOCALLY IN LOS ANGELES, WE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN AND CO-ORGANIZED SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT CONFERENCES, SUCH AS THE "BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW," "CHINESE ENLIGHTENMENT MOVEMENT, AND RPG REVIVAL PRAYER GATHERING." THESE EVENTS NOT ONLY STRENGTHENED OUR COOPERATION WITH LOCAL CHURCHES BUT ALSO FACILITATED OUR GROWTH AND EXCHANGE IN FAITH.IN TERMS OF MISSIONS, WE PARTICIPATED IN THE "CHIANG MAI MISSION CONFERENCE AND THE "BALKAN MACEDONIA MISSION CONFERENCE," WITH PASTOR CHOU SERVING AS A SPEAKER. WE ALSO COLLABORATED WITH SEVERAL NORTH AMERICAN CHINESE CHURCHES TO ESTABLISH THE "TOGETHER MISSION ASSOCIATION," A CROSS-CULTURAL MISSIONARY SENDING AGENCY AIMED AT BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD.LOOKING AHEAD TO 2024, WE WILL DELVE DEEPER INTO THE APPLICATION OF VIRTUAL REALITY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY IN MISSIONS AND FAITH EDUCATION. THIS REPRESENTS NOT ONLY TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION BUT ALSO A NEW FRONTIER IN SPREADING THE GOSPEL.
