Archbishop Melter will share what he has experienced since Archbishop Yong Ping Chung launched MISSION 113 in 1993 for the Diocese of Sabah. He will speak on how Archbishop Yong led the Diocese in the implementation, the result, the fruits, and the influences until now.
MISSION 113 was a vision by Archbishop Yong Ping Chung as a new vision to the Diocese of Sabah in 1993. Bishop Yong became the Bishop of Sabah in 1990 at a time when the Diocese was not growing. Bishop Yong prayed and received the vision of MISSION 113 from our Lord Jesus Christ. The Campaign had a three-year cycle; in the first cycle of the first three years resulted in small changes of numbers of people but in the second cycle of the three years, the Anglicans of Sabah was doubled, from 7,000 to 16,000.
On October 6, 2022, Archbishop Yong said, “We do so many things, we end up with nothing. One to one in three years is the time we need to “knowing, sharing, and bringing” them to become Christians to live and stay as Christian. No need to do so many things, just concentrate on one person to become Christian.”
