1 Why Charlotte? Why Carmel Chinese Ministry? Why Now?
2 Why Charlotte? Largest Employers Carolinas Healthcare System Wells Fargo/Wachovia Bank of America Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Presbyterian Regional Healthcare Corp Delhaize America Inc/Food Lion LLC Duke Energy Corporation Ruddick Corporation Daimler Trucks North America Lowes Companies, Inc. US Airways Group Charlotte USA is home to the world headquarters of eight Fortune 500 companies, and since 1990, new and expanding businesses have invested more than $18 billion here, creating more than 170,000 new jobs. The Charlotte region consists of about 2.7 million people living in 16 counties in two different states, 12 counties in North Carolina and four in South Carolina. It is strategically located in the center of the East Coast, and the importance of this Eastern time zone location cannot be overestimated.
3 Center of Finance Second-largest banking capital in U.S. Bank of America, the nation s largest bank, is headquartered in uptown Charlotte White collar jobs outnumber blue collar jobs 2 to 1 27 percent of all IT workers in the Carolinas are located in Charlotte USA Restructuring of nation s top banks allows opportunity for new employers to tap into skilled, available talent base Attractive quality of life that rivals larger, urban markets Local universities specialize in e-commerce and Internet security Center of International Business Largest concentration of foreign-owned firms (950+) and international community in Carolinas If the Carolinas were a country, it would be the 19th largest economy in the world More than 40 languages found spoken in the region 45+ business and cultural organizations developed to support local international community K-12 language immersion programs in French, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese Ten honorary foreign consuls located in the region NC ranked ninth in the nation with 206,700 employees at foreign U.S. affiliates
4 Why Carmel Chinese Ministry? Today, the average attendance of Sunday worship is approximately 150 people, and the average attendance of Sunday school class is about 80. In 1999, the pastors Dr. Wayne Poplin and Rev. Jim Russell saw the need of ministry to different ethnic groups in the community. Rev. David Lee, a Chinese missionary in Japan at the time, was invited to come to Charlotte for the formation and development of Ministry to Chinese and Japanese. Carmel Baptist Church Chinese Ministry was officially founded in In the past 10 years, Rev. and Mrs. Lee have devoted themselves whole-heartedly to shepherd and nurture this ministry. With God s blessing and the great support from Carmel Baptist Church, the Chinese congregation has been growing continuously from the first Bible Study class of 4 members to the 150 adults that attend the Chinese worship service every Sunday.
5 Background Carmel Chinese Ministry began in Began in 2000 as Carmel Ministry to the Chinese Community not a Chinese Ministry housed in Carmel facilities Chinese were fully integrated into Carmel membership and organizations Worship services in Chinese language were added in 2000 Ministry added Chinese Language School in 2002 Chinese Ministry growth plateaued due to facility limitation Average Worship attendance grew from 15 in 2000 to 150 currently Carmel authorized Chinese leadership to build financial base to purchase land and establish an independent church in 2016.
6 Background Carmel Elders approved formation of a Chinese Ad Hoc Committee on January Tasked to prepare a Strategic Plan to plant a fully functioning Chinese Church by 2016 Conducted formal survey of 100 Chinese member in June through September, 2012 to assess Strengths and Weaknesses of Ministry for Strategic Planning purposes. Concluded that in order to successfully plant a fully functional Chinese Church, Carmel must Help Chinese leadership reorganize their governance model Provide leadership training and organizational expertise Replace the short-term, limited authority Ad Hoc Committee structure with that of a permanent Standing Committee
7 Background Elders approved replacing the Ad Hoc Committee with Chinese Ministry Standing Committee - To carry out the desire of Carmel Baptist Church Reach out to the Chinese community with the gospel message Manage the achievement of the vision of having the Chinese Ministry planted as a fully functional church by the end of 2016.
8 Why Carmel Chinese Ministry?
9 Why Carmel Chinese Ministry? However, this growth has slowed down some in the past 2-3 years. More and more Chinese people joined Charlotte Chinese community in the recent years, but the attendance to Church has not increased as expected, remaining relatively stable. At the 10-year anniversary of this Chinese ministry, Rev. Lee and other fellow Chinese coworkers began to have a new vision for the Chinese Ministry. We are eager to spread the Gospel to more and more Chinese in Charlotte and build a stronger Chinese church. After longtime prayer and discussion, we see clearly that this ministry was from God and has been blessed by God.
10 Why Carmel Chinese Ministry? It has not only led more than 200 Chinese people to God, but also trained a group of disciples. Now, the Chinese congregation has become the spiritual home for many Chinese. The development of this ministry in the past years has realized the initial vision: people from different ethnic groups coming together here to worship one and the only God. More importantly, it formed a solid foundation for a bigger Chinese church. With no doubt, God will accomplish more through this church.

13 Why Carmel Chinese Ministry? The Chinese population is quickly growing in the Charlotte area and the Carmel Chinese Ministry is focused to answer the needs of these important people.
14 The Charlotte region is important to the young Chinese professional because it offers the opportunity to grow because of the income offered by multi-national companies and the high tech nature of many of the jobs based in Charlotte.
15 Why Now? Church Vision A. Vision: to make disciples of all nations (Matthews 28:19) B. Mission To spread the gospel to the Chinese community in Charlotte, make them truly disciples of Jesus Christ. Our church should become a place to fear God, to become Christ-centered and spirit-leading, to care for one another, and to glorify our God. C. Core Value To engage in worship, share people s lives with testimonies, reach to the community with caring actions, and to serve with spiritual gifts, time, money, and service.
16 Why Now? D. Strategy To expand God s kingdom, just like in the prayer of Jabez, we would like to build a church in Charlotte for all Chinese to praise and worship God, and to become a center for preaching the Gospel, teaching and training disciples, and serving the community. Through everything we do, we d like to share the Gospel with all Chinese neighbors, colleagues, and friends. 1. A center for praise and worship Our church will be a place for all Chinese people from different backgrounds, ages, and languages to worship and praise God. Every worship service will lead us to meet our ever-living God, enjoy His presence, and experience His life-changing power. In the God-centered worship, everyone will experience Jesus almighty
17 Why Now? love; the thirsty will receive spiritual water, the imprisoned will be released, and the weak will become strong. We will become one family, accepting one another with love, building up one another in light, and being united in prayers. This worship center is also a temple of prayer. 2. A center for preaching the Gospel We are determined to become the salt and light of the world. We will live a life full of Christ s love, demonstrate His love in our deeds, and spread the Gospel to our fellow Chinese with holy enthusiasm and grateful hearts. For the great mission that Jesus sent us, we will work together with the Holy Spirit to reach out and preach the Gospel to every Chinese neighbor, colleague, and friend. We would love for them to join our family.
18 Why Now? 3. A center for teaching and training disciples We hope that all believers will receive disciplinary training, participate in service, and accomplish the great mission by obeying God commend. By receiving training and participating in service, we would like to use everybody s spiritual talents, work together, and build a stronger body of Christ. We want to be a steward of Christ and live a holy life for Him. 4. A center for serving the community We would like to demonstrate Christ s love to other people around us through our daily life, church ministry and community service. By considering Chinese culture and tradition, we will have different activities including Chinese language school, counseling center, medical services, and variety of seminars on health, education, financial planning and immigration matters etc. By doing these, we will be able to reach deep in the community and have influence and affinity to Chinese community. Our church will become the light to the community and attract more and more Chinese to Christ.
