CLRC’s Annual Leadership Training Retreat
CLRC leadership training seminar was held from 4/28-30/2016 with the topic, The Principles and Practice of a Healthy Growing Church ( 健康成長教会的原則和实践 ). The speakers were Elder Peter Liu (劉志雄長老) from New Jersey and Pastor Albert Lam (林祥源牧師) from San Diego, CA. Praise God for His many blessings during the leadership training seminar retreat: safety of every one; mild and dry weather (it rained cats and dogs on Thursday during the day, but no rain Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday); catered Chinese food for the first time; and the partial use of the new dorm (1st floor bedrooms for sisters and the kitchen for catered cooking), etc. Most of all, the inspiring messages of the speakers from two different perspectives but yet complimentary to each other on the same theme and practical in their applications. There were good discussions between speakers and attendees during the panel discussion and Q&A sessions. The survey results showed very positive response and great appreciation for the two speakers and their messages. One attendee commented, “此次 program對我及教會有很大的鼓勵和幫助。兩個講員兼具扎心的信息與 實際操作，有極大的幫助。I’m refreshed by the Lord’s message. Thank you
for this wonderful retreat.”
Video and Audio recordings of the seminars are available on CLRC’s website – Media Page

ECU Ark Fellowship Fall Retreat
Sponsored by Greenville Chinese Christian Fellowship (GCCF), ECU Ark Fellowship had a spiritual retreat at CLRC’s Lake Gaston October 31- November 1. A total of 25 ECU students and scholars, along with co-workers from GCCF attended this retreat. This was the first time GCCF visiting CLRC’s Lake Gaston facility.
That first day Pastor Chaoyang shared a message of “Body-Mind-Spirit, IQ-EQ-SQ”. While many of us might have high IQ, we may need to work on our EQ. But the most important one is the SQ, spiritual quotient. With God’s guidance and Jesus’ love, integrity, kindness, peace, wisdom, we are set to be successful and joyful in this world. After lunch, we enjoyed colorful fall leaves while riding the boat in Lake Gaston. The food was delicious and making dumplings together for dinner was one of the best moments during the retreat to have fellowship together. During the evening, we shared our testimonies, Christian lives, and discussed many questions regarding our faith. Sunday morning we had our regular worship service. Pastor Chaoyang gave a message titled “Purpose of Life”. On the way home, we had opportunity to visit a vineyard. Everyone had a relaxed weekend and was lifted spiritually.

Duke Fellowship Retreat
Duke Chinese Christian Fellowship organized a Fall weekend retreat at CLRC’s Lake Gaston on October 9-11. The purpose of the retreat was to encourage everyone to lay down their worldly worries from busy life and to enjoy a quiet fellowship time with one another in our Heavenly Father’s love along the beautiful lake shore.
29 brothers/sisters and friends stayed together sharing God’s love and building up one another. Besides making dumplings, BBQ and beef-stewed noodles, everyone took turns riding a rental platoon boat along the Lake. Brother Yuhai Wu of AFC shared two messages: “Where Does My Source of Strength Come From?” and “Sharing Jesus” on Saturday and Sunday. Many non-Christian friends attended the retreat as well. May the gospel seeds be planted in their hearts and bear fruits. Through the retreat, everyone’s spiritual life was renewed.
(Sharing of Zhe Gan, Chairman of Duke Chinese Christian Fellowship)
