Report on the 2010 EM/CAARL Pastors' Conference (Korean Pastors Conference)

I am very happy to report the 11th EM/CAARL Pastors' Conference held at CCPC in Vienna, VA was a great blessing with spiritual annointing on the speakers.   I wrote you last fall that our 11th conference is taking a new turn. In all of the last 10 conferences,  we had tried to have renowned speakers from the PCA reformed circle, but after ten years we are taking new turn. The speakers were all from among second generation pastors.  They have matured spiritually with experiences in pastoral and teaching ministry. I am willing to say this 11th conference was by far the best conference and the speakers gave most excellent messages spiritually and academically. The messages were very relevant and practical to the ministries as well. We had seven speakers but I pray more will be added from among second generation pastors in the future conferences. We will have the conference lectures available on the MNA website when the recordings are ready.  

Furthermore, our new turn is not just to hold a conference to get messages and go home to the ministry but to form a community of mentoring and coaching from older and experienced pastors and a networking fellowship. It will be like the community Jesus formed with his disciples and the community of the early church, giving and sharing with self-giving love for one another. That is a significant new direction for our conference. I sense it has already begun at this conference with the leadership provided by CAARL(Council on Asian American Reformed Leadership).  

Thus far, the CAARL is an informal gathering of concerned Asian American Reformed pastors and professors, mostly PCA,  with a vision to reach multiethnic America and the world with the reformed gospel, cooperating with the EM Pastors' Conference to become the EM/CAARL Conference. From 10th conference we have provided a large amount of time for small group discussion and time to interact with each other and speakers. Please pray that this will become a movement and grow to reach many who are in need of such a community of mentoring. If you did not come this year, I pray you will be able to join us for the next conference. I look forward to seeing you all in this growing movement.  

In His Service,
