We give thanks to God as we celebrate Rev. Raymond Cheng’s 20 years of faithful ministry at ETCBC...
We give thanks to God as we mark Pastor Raymond’s 20th anniversary of ministry at ETCBC, beginning on September 7, 2005. Over the years, he has devoted himself to preaching, discipling believers, proclaiming the Gospel, and shepherding the Cantonese congregation with the love of Christ.
We praise God for His work through Pastor Raymond and pray for continued health, joy, and wisdom for him and his family, that his ministry may keep bringing glory to God’s name.
