Please pray for the Lord's leading in the life of the Fillmores as they make their career transition.

The excitement and anticipation continues to build as we prepare to celebrate and worship our Lord in the first-ever Global Communion Service of the Church of God, Sunday, June 22, 7:00–9:00 pm (EDT). Tens of thousands of people from around the world have signed up to participate. Hundreds of churches from across North American and more than twenty-five other countries will all join together to take the bread and the cup as we celebrate unity.

In January 2008, the Hong Kong Church of God (HKCOG) moved into its new building located on the main street of the Hong Kong suburb of Tai Wai. It was the end result of a three-year effort to raise the funds for the 30 percent down payment on the $1.2 million property. The purchase of the building, making the HKCOG property owners for the first time, was challenging because Hong Kong is one of the world’s most expensive cities in which to purchase property. In addition, the Hong Kong Church of God is a very young church: 80 percent of the church is under the age of twenty-six. Finances have always been a challenge for this young church, but the level of commitment has been outstanding. Fundraisers have been known to yield as much as $10,000 (U.S.) in one shot. But the new building simply would not have been possible without the greater Church of God.
