Received the message from Michael & Deborah (parents of Mattan) showing their appreciation to Shu Yan, their son’s life group leader in church. And then as a response, a reply from Shu Yan expressing her gratitude for them being great parents and always easy to approach on matters relating to discipleship of their son.

Such conversations never fails to reignite my belief in the power of family and church collaboration.

If people ask what’s the vision for families in our church, I will surely show them the picture of  the “Foo Family Team”. As we work towards building families, I’m envisioning more of such teams where there’s honor and partnership leading in the same direction and speaking the same thing to those we are given to disciple.

Only when the forces of family (red) and church (yellow) combines, will the influence of the next generation (orange) be effective and maximized.

Families who believes in “orange” will be models for other families to come.
