Implications of Project Contempo

The Bridging Ministry:
Wider Co-Operation

It is hoped that Project Contempo will serve as a bridge in the following ways:

1. linking faith and career
2. linking theology and daily living
3. linking clergy and laity
4. linking the Canadian Asian's with their parent's generation
5. linking the campus and the workplace
6. linking the church and the parachurch organizations
7. linking the church and the society
8. linking the east and the west

The Apprentice Mentality:
Further Research and Study

The project will force us to take an inventory of the current Canadian Asian ministry, including both its strength and its weakness. We have already been made painfully aware of the lack of good research and study in the so-called "second generation syndrome" among the Canadian Asians. None of the campus groups that we have approached could present us with statistics of how their graduates are doing after leaving campus. We need to do meaningful surveys to learn more about the priorities, concerns and values of young Canadian Asian Christians.

The Global Watch: Broader Scope

The issue of ethnicity needs to be addressed in greater detail. To be ashamed of our ethnicity is unbiblical since our roots come from God. To feel superior because of our race is equally unchristian. God does not play favouritism. It is God-honouring when we honestly offer our ethnic background back to him. This is of particular importance when China, already a major force in goods production, is poised to become a world superpower. Chinese Christians everywhere need to wait upon the Lord and find out what God wants them to do in the coming decades - the exciting decades of the Dragon.
