Merry Christmas

After an eventful year, we have come to nearing the end of 2008. Just looking back, there are quite a lot of things that have happened. Many have moved on with their lives, starting a new chapter, ending the current one.

Although the group is currently on hiatus, our relationship will continue forward. We'll always be there for you.

We prepare for the kingdom by becoming the best we can be in the marketplaces in each of our roles and be productive and fulfill our destiny.

For 2009, I believe God will bring more clarity to His vision for our lives and challenge us to take on more responsibilities. At the same time, God shall pour out His blessings to those who strive to fulfill their destiny, one step at a time. Though we do not yet know what the future brings, but as we walk together following God's hand faithfully, we shall come to see and understand the meaning of our own lives.

Revival Prayer Day

Revival Prayer Day was an amazing event where the 1st gen, 1.5 gen, and 2nd gen Chinese Americans in Southern California gathered together to pray and bring reconciliation between the generations.

Hundreds of young people gathered and worshiped and prayed to God for revival. Of course, we all know that revival begins with reconciliation. God released a spirit of understanding to his people that we can see the challenges of each generation and have a newfound perspective and appreciation for the hardships of each generation.

We, the 1.5 generation, have vowed to stand in the gap and act as a bridge between the 1st and 2nd generation. Our multiculturalistic understanding puts us in a perfect place to bring that reconciliation so that the spiritual inheritance may be passed from generation to generation.

Revival Prayer Day - May 17, 2008

SOP is helping to organize a Revival Prayer Day (RPD) which is held on Saturday, May 17, 2008 from 7pm to 9pm at Sarang Church in Anaheim.

The purpose for RPD is to reconcile the Joseph Generation of Chinese Americans. This is the 1.5 generation that we have heard discussed here and there. It's also known as the Joshua Generation.

We must have an intent to raise up the 1.5 generation to act as a bridge between the 1st and 2nd generation Chinese Americans. We want to fill the event hall with over 2000 1.5 generation young adults.

So what is a 1.5 Generation? This group of people is defined to be bi-cultural, and most often, bilingual. For all those who have came to America when you are about 12-13 years old (+ or - 3 years), you are considered 1.5 generation. Anyone who comes in elemntary school may be leaning more towards 2nd gen while anyone who have come after high school would be 1st gen. Of course, there are excepts. We encourage everyone who has a passion for 1.5 to come to this meeting.

Details to follow.
