At a special gathering in Thailand on 27 November, Dr Patrick Fung handed over the role of General Director of OMF International to Dr Joseph Chang.
Joseph is OMF International’s 11th General Director in the organisation’s almost 160-year history. Originally from Taiwan, Joseph and his wife Lori have relocated to OMF’s International Centre in Singapore for the role.
At the handover event, Patrick Fung shared that when D.E Hoste succeeded Hudson Taylor as General Director of the China Inland Mission, Hoste requested prayer for three things: a willingness to be small, to be poor in spirit and to suffer hardship. Patrick remarked that these are rare qualities in leaders and echoed them in his prayer for Joseph to know the power of God, sufficiency of Christ and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
