As a reminder and encouragement, 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.”

In the modern world, many new religions and spiritualities are on the rise. This is especially true in regions cultures where Christianity was once the dominant religion. We will look at the new spirituality forming that is a mixture of paganism, new age spirituality, and secular humanism. We will talk about effective ways to engage people with the Gospel in the new spirituality.
Second workshop (May 14th):
How can we communicate and teach the Bible well in our contemporary times? We will look at effective ways to preach and teach the Gospel in an age where we are competing with social media, new spiritual movements, and questions about Christianity. We will not so much focus on methods of communicating as we will the manner in which we communicate.
