ICS PA has been busy serving the ICS community

The Prayer groups from SS and ES of the ICS community prayed on Friday, Aug 24th at a joint SS & ES prayer meeting for all the ICS teachers, administrators, staff, children and parents.

"Praying Parents" (by campus) gather on a monthly basis at the campus prayer meeting to pray for the community. We welcome any parents who share in the same faith and with a burden to pray for the school to join us at the SS, ES prayer meetings (usually held during the day) or the evening prayer meetings (for working SS & ES parents).

The ICS PA ExCo made their first meeting on Saturday, Aug 25^th a quick one to meet new ExCo and discuss a few agenda items before hosting a welcome lunch for "Newcomers in the ICS community" at the Chinese Restaurant of the Royal Park Hotel. The new headmaster Mr. John Nelson, new members of the Board of Trustees, and many new teachers and their families enjoyed dim sum for lunch.

On Sunday, Aug 26th, the ICS PA sponsored a live streaming broadcast of “The Story behind Linsanity” at Asia World-Expo at the Lu Kao Hwa Theatre. Jeremy Lin, the sensational Asian American NBA player, shared with us his walk with Christ, how “Linsanity“ came about with the grace of God and the “13 miracles” that needed to happen to him to become who he is today.

Mr. John Nelson opened the event with a word of prayer for the adults, youth and children who packed the theatre in anticipation of hearing Lin's message. At the invitation of Jeremy Lin and Pastor Fai, Chairman of the ICS PA, many accepted Jesus or re-dedicated their lives to Jesus. (For more information about Jeremy Lin, visit http://jeremylin.hchannel.tv or http://goodtvhk.tv)

If you have children in Elementary, and want to be more involved in the PA, please join us by serving as an ES PA Rep. Campus Reps meet once a month with the principals to discuss issues pertaining to the school, students and how we can work together to serve God in various capacities.

If you would like to join one of the prayer group meetings (dates are on the school calendar), we want to hear from you, too!
