New Wine in New Wineskin
 A 1.5 Generation Grand Gathering for Chinese churches will be held March 8, 2008 from 9:30am- 3:30pm at Evangelical Formosan Church of Los Angeles in El Monte, CA. This special gathering is planned and sponsored by Logos Evangelical Seminary to provide training and bridging opportunities for the Chinese churches.

Everyone is welcome to attend! We encourage the 1.5 generation and all those who have a heart for this generation to join us.
