PASTOR SIMSON ENG MESSAGE
[Hope Oceania Convention, Philip Island]
Greetings HIM Family,
Joyfully, I want to share my heart with you.
Over in April, I was at the Oceania Convention, where we had more than 750 people come along. The theme of the convention was “Boot Camp” and the emphasis was preparing for the harvest. Our Oceania churches are certainly eager and preparing for what God will bring in the harvest to come. So we had a great time there and the people were touched by the Lord and many people responded as well.
HIM Thailand Camp - Passion
Afterwards, I flew over to the HIM Thailand camp. In all, we had about 1,500 people gathered. Once again we touched on the topic of passion: serving God with passion, serving the Great Commission with passion and loving one another with passion as well. It was a great time. Our churches in Thailand are stabilizing. God is just bringing the pastors and leaders together through the hard work of Ps. Prachit, Ps. James and Ps. Soradej. I was so happy to hear that they will continue to strengthen and stabilize and grow the churches here. Also, next year, they are ready to take on missions. I challenged them to take on Indochina. There are bordering countries where they can go in and do some of this work as well. So it has been a great April and May.

Mission Trip to Liberia & DRC
Coming up in June, I am joining with Pastor Brendan. We will make a trip to Liberia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. I believe God is doing a work in Africa and we want to really believe that doors will open and many more churches will be planted in Africa. So that is going to be a great time. Coming up in July, we are going to have our Global Conference (GC). I trust that you are preparing to register. Hoyu has already sent out the forms. We are looking forward to having two or three hundred come and join our GC in July.
I was also talking to our leaders in Europe as well and God is moving in the German churches. God is also working in the UK churches and throughout Europe; so I am really glad to report that overall, we are having some wonderful things happening.
Appointment as HIM Elder, Pastor Wilson
I just want to also welcome Ps. Wilson who has joined us, since the end of last year, in the eldership with me in our HIM family. So brothers and sisters from all over the world, God bless you. I really look forward to seeing what God is going to do in your region, in your churches, because I really believe God's favor, God's anointing, God's strength is with everyone of us. Rise up; be strong for the Lord, for God wants to do great and mighty things through you, through your core team, through your leaders and your churches as well.
God be with you till I communicate with you the next time round again.
Pastor Simon Eng
President of HIM
