  • Mark Tan – Retirements Thanksgiving Report
    Missionary Mark Tan, whom our church has long supported as one of his supporting churches, has confirmed his official retirement at the end of August 2026. He has served with OMF International for 30 years– initially in the Philippines, working in church planting ministries with Chinese churches, and then returning to Belfast in 2009, where he has been doing outreach to Mainland Chinese students studying in the U.K., many of whom have returned to China as blessings to their home churches. We thank God for using Mark as a faithful servant in cross-cultural missions and student ministry, touching many lives. We also thank our congregation for years of prayer and financial support. Mark has asked for prayer for God’s clear direction in the next stage of his life. Please continue to remember him in your prayers– that the Lord would grant him good health and continue to use him in this new season. 

     

  • Please pray for the brothers and sisters who may feel called and burdened by the Lord to serve as deacon at the end of this year. Over the coming months, let us seek the Lord’s will and guidance together in prayer.

    According to the church constitution, those nominated to serve as deacons must have been baptized for at least five years and have been actively leading and serving in this church for two years or more. All deacon candidates must be reviewed and approved by the Board of Elders and the Church Committee. The successful candidate will have at least two thirds of the vote in the AGM.

    For the specific qualifications for deacon nominees, please refer to Sections 6.1.1–6.1.5 of the church constitution.
