WCDRC Day 1 (Evening Program Continued) - How to do One to One by Missionary Andrew Hwang

Following Pastor Mark's lecture on the biblical preaching, Missionary Andrew Hwang of Stanford University gave us a special lecture on how to serve the flock through one to one ministry. He had a lot to share, but due to time constraint he was able to share only a few key tips. I personally enjoyed and learned a lot from his presentation. Here is a brief summary.

How to do one to one ministry

• Why one to one ministry? When one person cannot be and is not changed, you have done nothing. But when one person is changed, the Lord can change many through that one person. 
• Jesus’ One to One Bile study with Nicodemus (Jesus understood his basic need, that is, his agony of not knowing the kingdom of God, so Jesus said, “you must be born again.)
• Jesus’ One to One Bible study with a Samaritan Woman. Jesus helps each person according to their needs that is in case of the woman, her thirstiness, so he asked her, “Would you give me a drink?” 
• Jesus’ One to One ministry with vision. Jesus helped Simon Peter by giving him the vision saying, "From now on you will be a fisher of man." His shepherd once said to him, “Missionary Andrew, you will be a great missionary.” At that time he was a young student. Yet since his shepherd then a professor had a vision for  him, he retained the vision and indeed became a missionary. 
• Jesus’ One to One ministry with love (Jesus helping Simon Peter with love rather than with a business mind as in John 21)
• Jesus’ One to One ministry with friendship (students are lonely, so we need to offer friendship)

• Jesus’ One to One ministry with communication: in communicating we need to be "Quick to listen, Slow to speak"(James 1:9 - quick to listen slow to speak, slow to become angry)

He prays to raise seven global leaders out of Stanford students. 

Help students to be active participants. He used to study the Bible with Mother Barry. One day he asked Mother Barry, “How did Abraham come to have faith?” At that time he  already had an answer. Then Mother Barry said, “I don’t know. What do you think?”
