Thank God for His guidance and blessing. CLRC’s annual leadership training retreat was held at Lake Gaston on April 23-25. We had about 20 brothers/sisters attending the retreat from North Carolina and Virginia. The theme of the retreat was: Mentoring and Disciplining. We had three speakers: Pastor Peter Chow, Prof. Chuck Kwok and Dr. Stacy Rinehart. Each brought with them vast experiences in mentoring and disciplining: Pastor Chow was the former president of China Evangelical Seminary in Taiwan and pastored churches for many years; Prof. Kwok is very involved with discipleship training/campus ministries in his hometown and around the world; Dr. Rinehart is the founder of MentorLink International and has a global ministry focusing on multiplying Christ-like leaders (e.g., “Leaders Covenant”…)

Through the seminars, all attendees agreed that mentoring and disciplining are the utmost important ministries for the local churches. Pastor Chow also led a special topic seminar on different issues facing “Chinese Seminary Education” today. The attendees also shared their discipling ministries at their own church as well as other personal and church issues. Some expressed their intention for starting discipleship programs after they return to their own churches.

Video and Audio recordings of the seminars are available on CLRC’s website – Media Page.
