HONG KONG - According to Kong Ko Bao (the Chinese version of the diocesan bulletin), the 20th Congress of the Lay Missionary Association also celebrated its 20th anniversary of foundation.
This lay missionary group began in 1988, with the motto “Go out to the whole world; proclaim the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15). They are the first lay association to send lay missionaries to foreign countries. There are 11 lay persons who have responded generously to Christ's call, dedicating themselves to the service of the Gospel in Africa (Zimbabwe, Mauritius, and Kenya) and in Asia (Cambodia). The objectives of the association are: to respond to Christ's call as laity of Hong Kong, placing every effort in the mission of evangelization; accompany the poor, helping them to know their own dignity and the capacities that the Lord has given them; help in missionary areas, so that through evangelization, the local Church may grow and mature.
