A Time for Everything

The Bible says there is a time for everything…and may I add, a time for transitions.

We praise God for Rev. Dr. David Cheung who faithfully served as ATS president for two years. In recognition of his leadership and valuable contribution in fulfilling the ideals of ATS and his dedicated efforts in partnership and network development, the ATS Board of Trustees honored him with the title President Emeritus. This means that he has the privilege of continually promoting the cause for which ATS stands for in his speaking engagements, thus bringing in more partners for ATS. Let us continue to cover Dr. Cheung in prayers especially as he and his family transition into another ministry.

With the end of Rev. Cheung's term, I was designated the role of Deputy Officer-in-Charge (OIC) to oversee the day-to-day affairs in the seminary. I assumed office on April 1st. This new task means assisting in leading ATS with our board chairman and part-time OIC, Bishop Efraim Tendero. We ask for your prayers as we continue to search for the next ATS president. Pray that God will lead us to the person of His choice.

Please pray for this season of transition for the ATS community. Any change, much less a change in leadership, is not always easy and may at times be daunting. But God is bigger than any of the challenges we face.
