Family Education Outreach Ministry (FEOM), a mission partner of ECC, was established in October 2006 to serve the local community, focusing on Primary School children and parents, teaching life skills, ethics and practical lessons based on Biblical principles.

Prayer requests for the various FEOM programs:

• Pray for more volunteers to help with the Po Leung Kuk and school outreach program to bless the orphans through regular visits and activities with the love of Jesus.
• Pray for safety of children during the monthly outing program (Coolkids) for volunteers to interact with children in a fruitful way.
• Pray for the weekly visits to the 16 Superkids (those who are kept in the institution) with love, tenderness, patience and care.
• Pray for the mentors in the Stand-by-me program that they will persevere and visit the children regularly.
• Pray for five outreach meetings in local schools this Easter for the hearts of these students to receive the message of salvation.
• Pray for the staff of FEOM that their hearts be filled with God's wisdom and guidance to prepare the Christian Education material.
• Praise God for all the programs and His faithfulness that no opportunity to impact lives be missed. May all glory goes to God!

Orphanage for Tibetan children

In 1999, ECC provided food relief in Hubei and the ministry has since developed into a discipleship program for a group of church leaders in a rural area. Now we have a 3-year systematic training program on Bible and ministries.  As our relationship with the local church leaders deepened through the training program, we begin outreach and leadership training together to the local communities.

Please pray for:

• Wisdom for ECC leaders to provide guidance for developing this ministry.
• Preparation for volunteers training starting on March 8th.
• New ministry for developing university student as group leaders in campuses.
• Preparation and coordination with various churches for the upcoming Love English Camp to reach out to high school students in Hubei.

Kerry and Debra Schottelkorb began BridgeLives three years ago with the purpose of building and linking leaders, families, communities and teams in the hopes that Great Commission ministries will become more unified, collaborative and fruitful. 85% of BridgeLives' ministry is Hong Kong or mainland China related. Main activities include facilitating partnerships between interested North American ministries and the Chinese church; helping groups prepare, send, nurture and receive back their cross-cultural ministry leaders, teams and families; providing leadership development, pastoral care and spiritual formation nurturing and resources for cross-cultural families.
