1 From 2010 to was truly a year of H!-kingdom-advance" The Lord in all His faithfulness led us step by step in running Incubator Ministries in our first two years. He has continuously stretched us in our commitment to Him, our faith in Him, our sacrificial love for Him, and our capacity in carrying the same yoke with our brothers and sisters and with Him. His marvelous works surprised us, His fiery love turned our hearts, His decrees left us in awe, His enduring faithfulness gave us peace in the eye of the storm.

2 Entering into the supernatural lifestyle Director of Incubator Ministries Louisa MA As we enter into 2011, may your body, soul and spirit prosper and experience the fullness and the glory of His kingdom more deeply! I would like to share with you the things we sense in the Spirit. In August 2010, Incubator Ministries hosted the Kingdom Advance Conference 1. In the meeting, God accomplished miraculous things far beyond imagination. The most apparent of these is that we witnessed about a hundred to two hundred Christians affirmed their faith in Christ by being baptized into the Body of Christ in the second and third evening sessions. Immediately the whole congregation entered into the atmosphere of celebration. We deeply experienced the truth of Luke 4:18, to proclaim freedom for the prisoners to set the oppressed free. Those who baptized and those who were baptized did so out of simple faith and obedience to Jesus' Word (Matt 28:19-20). They did so right on the spot when Pastors Eddie Ma and Jaeson Ma, who were leading the meeting, acted with complete surrender to the Holy Spirit's direction, I am moving, do not stop me! I believe what the Lord has accomplished is far beyond what our physical eyes could see. There was breakthrough in the spiritual realm of the church of Hong Kong and in the missions movement. God is making a way for His Church, and we are to welcome Him to do greater works among us! Last year, we noticed that the number 11 kept appearing 2. We believe that the Holy Spirit is communicating a message to prepare us to enter into 2011: was a year of testing of hearts and a year of decision making; 2011 will be a year of transition. In the past we saw visions with eyes of faith, but in 2011 they would manifest in form and be visible before our eyes. On the other hand, God will still give us room for making adjustments and room for practising and transitioning in His grace. Therefore we should follow and enjoy the Lord's overwhelming grace with hearts of joy and thanksgiving, and celebrate His mighty power, for the joy of the Lord is our strength! 2. When the Holy Spirit moves mightily, we need to prepare ourselves to enter into the supernatural lifestyle the life that watches and waits on God, completely surrendering to His will, living with kingly authority and preparing for miracles to happen. 3. One of our staff received a typhoon signal No.9 warning in a dream. In the Hong Kong Observatory announcement, only typhoon signal No.9 contains the message that alerts residents to take special care in protecting the children 3, and all other warning signals do not mention the children. We believe that the Lord is reminding us of this: although God's power brings about spiritual births swiftly, the lives of the newborn are most easily attacked and require careful protection the most. We must be watchful in prayer for newborn ministries. Over 200 people were baptized at the Kingdom Advance Conference. He s doing a new Thing! Establishing kingdom children. From 2010 to

3 4. For the past three years, God has given us a burden to nurture children so that they live their lives for God. Out mandate is not just to nurture our biological sons and daughters to walk in way of the Lord. God has entrusted a great and difficult mandate: to nurture a generation of children that embrace God s holiness, to prepare them to walk God s way and be faithful to the end. Establishing kingdom children, raising up spiritual families and spiritual fathers and mothers will be our new ministry this year. 5. In the past we emphasized more on the uniqueness of individual ministries or organizations, but I believe that these characteristics will gradually fade. God will bring us into a great merging so that we can see the vastness and the richness of His great river in the kingdom. Not only can we anticipate the local regions to link arms, but also among many alliances in Hong Kong, between cities in Asia, between different regions, and even the merging of the moves of the Spirit in the continents of the world. We believe in the word He has promised, that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. This promise will so come to pass, and is already being fulfilled. May our uniqueness be surrendered before God's glorious plan and be fulfilled to fullness. 6. I have two prayers for Hong Kong: firstly, that the Lord would release a fresh sound of worship, and call His children in a whole new way to gather to offer a more beautiful sacrifice; secondly, that the Lord would establish spiritual covering for the unification of the five-fold ministries in Hong Kong, and raise up faith communities in the society, culture and the marketplace that will win Hong Kong for God. Footnotes: 1. The Kingdom Advance Conference was held from 5 th - 7 th August Messages include Moses: Let my people Go and Daniel: the God who reveals mysteries by speaker Pastor Eddie Ma ; Kingdom Advance, The Cycle of the Great Commision and How to Make Disciples by speaker Pastor Jaeson Ma. 2. Numbers in the Bible oken carry symbolic meaning. The number 10 represents teslng and purifying, the number 11 represents transilon and change, the number 12 represents complelon and maturity. In daily life, 11:11 can also represent the end of Lme, the very end of the endlme. 3. According to the Hong Kong Observatory's official website, the meaning and reminders of typhoon signal No.9 include the following: Gale or storm force wind is increasing or expected to increase significantly in strength. AcLon - Stay indoors. Stay away from exposed windows and doors to avoid flying debris. Close all interior doors and make sure children are confined to the least exposed part of your home. Do not touch electrical cables that have been blown loose. You should fix broken windows and doors only when there is no danger in doing so. If you are away from home, find a safe place and remain there unll the danger is over. From 2010 to

4 Our 2010 Our year began wi# $ Taipei Kingdom Culture Conference... In Feb 2010, almost everyone in our house including our staff and interns attended Kingdom Culture Conference in Taipei with Bill Johnson and Heidi Baker as the guest speakers. The 3-day conference completely changed our mindset: Normal Christian life is seeing and participating in signs and wonders! Many of our staff and interns experienced healing - seeing others healed as they prayed and being healed physically and psychologically - our faith level was never the same. Homecoming A series of Homecoming pre-gatherings kicked off, which paved the way to the final Homecoming in May. Chinese from all over the world came home and gathered in Hong Kong with only one desire -- to bless the heart of our Father. At the end of the day, 5000 people witnessed what the Lord has done in the midst of His sons and daughters. He opened our eyes to see that if we surrendered and obeyed Him, He would finish what He started and fought for us. In His glory, many broken hearted were healed, and many broken relationships were restored. We were there when the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael reconciled; the vision of Chinese holding hands with the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael came alive before our very eyes. From 2010 to

5 We are the Church! Then it was an intense 5-session Kingdom Advance Conference held in Southorn Stadium, Wanchai. In the day time, Pastor Eddie Ma and some marketplace brothers and sisters shared their dreams they had in His kingdom, whilst in the night Pastor Jaeson Ma called forth those who had simple faith and radical obedience to go and make disciples of all nations - the Great Commission in Matt.28 - for we are the church! We were called to bring the kingdom into the areas around us. After the conference, there was a surge of testimonies that testified to the release of His body, the church, into building His glorious kingdom. All Nations House of Prayer This is the center of Incubator Ministries. In addition to our usual themes, last year we have added the themes Prayer Movement, Chinese Homecoming Journey and Descendants of Isaac and Ishmael in response to what is on the Lord s heart. We want to cry out night and day before Him for His justice and see His end-time revelation be released upon the earth and manifested in all areas of our lives. Our staff and interns take turns to lead harp and bowl sets Monday to Friday from 12:00 n. to 9:30 pm. We have Nightwatch the last Friday of every month between the hours of midnight and 6:00 am the next day. Chamber at 02:00 From 2010 to

6 One Thing Internship The only One Thing: to embrace the heart of God. Our first batch of One Thing interns partook in the course of redefining one thing lifestyle. While many of them thought One Thing is to gaze on His beauty in His temple all the days of their lives, God surprised us and said GO. Through night and day worship and prayer, with the Word of God and lectures as nourishment for building an intimate relationship with Jesus, they were all set to go One Thing interns & staff So not only did they go out of the temple frequently over the past year learning to walk with God and living a lifestyle of loving others they visited the homeless and the scavengers, tutored children on their homework, had lunch time gatherings with secondary students, held social care activities with university students from Mainland China they were also commissioned to bring their one thing to the many different spheres and mountains in our society, thus bringing forth the advancement of His kingdom. We are the church! Some of them are already back in the marketplace, some work in the field of education, some are just waiting on the Lord to confirm His leading. One thing is for certain: every one has found the pearl of great value, and has gone all out and sold all that they had to buy the pearl sold out for the Kingdom of God. One Thing Internship is now on its second year, with 15 interns (14 for a full year & 1 for 3 months) from 8 different local churches. An orientation camp was held in Oct 4-5, and their internship officially started in Oct 6. From 2010 to One Thing Internship End-of-Year ceremony

7 The Integration of Prayer Movement and Mission Movement In the latter half of 2010, the doors of Asia kept opening up to us. We have visited Mongolia, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Beijing, and India. The invitations came to us in a timely fashion: to teach prophetic worship, conduct harp and bowl trainings, connect with the body of Christ and lead services, call forth and gather local Christian leaders to corporately seek His face, release the message of walking intergenerational, and to raise up a generation hungry for the glory of God. Both regionally and spiritually, we never set our feet upon some of these areas. These divine connections brought forth the advancement of His kingdom mobilizing and assisting the church in Asia to build houses of prayer, and to integrate with their mission and ministry in an even deeper way. We believe the Lord is going to amaze us by His leadership in 2011! Both regionally and spiritually, we never set our feet upon some of these areas. These divine connections brought forth the advancement of His kingdom. Friday Night Gatherings On Friday nights, we went from Knowing God Gathering to Journey Gathering to our recent Kingdom Advance Training, apart from Pastors Eddie Ma and Louisa Ma, our speakers have been brought into our midst from His kingdom worldwide: Pastor Dean Fujishima from Hawaii, Pastor Gideon Chiu and Pastor David Demian from Canada, Dr. Chuck Pierce and his team from Glory of Zion International Ministries, U.S.A., and the co-author(with Mike Bickle) of The Seven Longings of the Human Heart, Deborah Hiebert and her team from Every Home for Christ. We have nearly 200 participants every time, and the most participants we had was around 400. From 2010 to

9 EGG - Embracing Generation to Generation Our vision is to empower biological fathers and mothers of this generation to rise up as spiritual fathers and mothers, providing a secure platform and loving environment for our next generation to dream on and express their creativity. Under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, they receive revelations from God so as to guide children into the freedom of expression towards the love of God. In 2008, some of our core leaders of Incubator Ministries received the calling from God in One Thing Conference, IHOP, Kansas city, to arise and train up our future generation to be a generation of Daniels. In 2009, a group of Christian mothers corporately heard of the one same calling in Joel s Conference, Hong Kong: to become spiritual fathers and mothers now and to prepare a generation of Daniels. They started to gather weekly--to do nothing but pray and seek God for the sake of our next generation--this is how EGG (Embracing Generation to Generation) came into being. In 2010 there was a breakthrough in our kingdom children s ministry: the open-door vision we saw of a Christian primary school in 2009 came to pass. The school principal heard about EGG (Embracing Generation to Generation) from a parent who is a member of EGG, invited EGG to prayer walk in the school. Soon EGG was invited to hold their lunch-time prayer meeting; 90% of the school kids raised their hands in acceptance of Jesus as their personal Savior and to walk as children of light. Followed by a Thanksgiving week, EGG introduced the culture of honor, appreciation, and thanksgiving instead of the culture of halloween and horror. We are currently cooperating with the school in a musical production that will last for half a year. In the coming year, we will be promoting creative drawing classes, phonics classes, and playgroups. We pray that the Lord will use the EGG ministry to raise up kingdom children
