Place: CCC

Present: Pastor Wang, Briant Chea, , Flora Chen

  1. Prayer
  2. Evaluation from Pastor Wang for Briant Chea

Briant is a nice person with serving heart and good serving ablity.  Briant has a good relationship with God & people.  Briant has a good spiritual gift who can draw people to God through his personal relationship with people.  We appreciate Brinat as a young man who has to bear heaving family burden.  Briant is very nice to his grandparents.  We hope in the future Briant will keep his loving heart to his family. Briant participated pastoral meeting.  Briant is a good planner in the youth ministry.  Total 14 plans in CCC.  Briant has 33 devotions posted on CCC blog.

Suggestion from Pastor Wang:

a)          Try to bring people to God. Continue doing devotion so Briant can have a good relationship with God. . Bring worry to God.  Briant still can send his devotion to Pastor Wang until he has another mentor.

b)          Keep the schedule: There were 3 times Briant did not come on Sunday to CCC without notice in time.  We hope Briant can improve in this area in the future.  People care about the responsibility,

c)          Keep the responsible quality.  Prepare a small note book to write down things needed to be remembered.

d)         See the “‧Attachment” below:

Briant’s response: Briant thanked Pastor Wang’s encouragement in the past 3 months.

Dear Brother Mark,

Our church would like to extend Brother Briant Chea’s serving in Carrollton Chinese Church.  Is it possible that BGCT can extend the 50% support to Brother Briant at $400 per month for 3 months from September to November?  Total support from BGCT will be $1200.   We will do evaluation every 3 months and report to you.  Thank you very much!

Please see attachment below from Brother Briant regarding his future plan.

In Him,

Pastor Wang,

I am willing to serve here as long as possible until the church can find a youth pastor. The next 3 months I will be able to come every Friday evening and Sundays. Of course there might be things that come up, but i was looking at my calender and I believe I am free for the next 3 months. I Will be attending school starting the week after labor day 9/14. I have classes Monday through Friday, 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. So I can not attend the weekly meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays with you pastor and Flora. I am also looking for a Part-time job to help out my household financially but it’s just on my mind though because I have to see how much work load the schooling will give me. I will try my best to do the best because I love these kids very much. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know this youth and I have gained a lot from them.

Briant Chea

Suggestion from Sister Cerina:

Since the VBS at CCC (6/15-6/19) got canceled, certainly the original plan for 6/19/09 as outreach children with their parents got vanished as well.  One alternative for your consideration, we could have a “Family Movie Night”.  Find a good Christian movie put the post and give away fries invite neighbors come (door to door invitations).  Church will provide free popcorn and icy water. Make it fun, such as ticket booth, make the tray for popcorn and drinks.  What do you think?

王牧師的回應:

謝謝竹瑛姊妹服事主的心,我們相信這份感動是出於神,願神厚報。  然而,在我的禱告和領受當中,有一件事是更加迫在眉睫,就是領袖們的信心重建。

我建議舉辦一個教會領袖週末培靈營,比如說禮拜五晚上出發,禮拜六晚上回來。(6/19, 20 或6/26, 27) 由健健姊妹負責統籌營會的地點及安排。

Pastor Wang’s response:

I thank Sister Cerina’s serving heart.  We trust Cerina’s serving heart is from the Holy Spirit’s touch.  May our Lord bless her abundantly.  However, in my prayer and receiving, there is one thing which is more urgent.  That is to re-establish leaders’ faith.

I suggest to have a spiritual formation camp on the weekend.  We may leave on Friday night and come back on Sat. night. (6/19, 20 or 6/26, 27)  Sister Jian to be in charge of coordinating the location and details.

  1. BGCT summer internship Briant Chea Email: Cheaknight7@aol.com
    1. Compensation:

a)          CCC will pay Briant $400 per month for 3 months. (Total $1200) $300 from mission budget, $100 from youth dept. budget.

b)          E-mail received on 6/1/09 from Mark with BGCT:

Thank you so much.  I have been out of the office moving to Houston.  I see now where I miss communicated on the phone the other day.  I am so sorry for the confusion.  BGCT will match dollar for dollar CCC total of $1200.  So we will send you a check for $1200 which takes the total which Briant will receive to $2400.

Again I am sorry I confused things.
