Welcome to the 10,500 Global Prayer Connect. This week, we will begin a focus on raising up Kingdom enterprises.
An economic system composes of networks of companies. Likewise, a Kingdom economic system will compose of a network of Kingdom companies. So in 10,500’s call to build the Kingdom economy, we must build up the Kingdom company.
What is a Kingdom company? One may be characterized as follows:
- Christ centered
- Led by leaders who pursue their Kingdom assignment
- Preparation for the coming great darkness
- Preparation for the Great Tribulation Harvest
- Supported by “Josephs” & “Daniels”
In the following weeks, we will expound on each area with details and examples. This week, we will highlight Eastern Media Group and its CEO, Gary Wang, to be lifted up in our intercessory network.
In 2005, Gary was a highly influential media magnate who ranked #9 in Taiwan for personal net worth. Through a financial scandal committed by his father, Gary was implicated when the elder Mr. Wang escaped Taiwan. Gary subsequently lost his wealth and was imprisoned for almost a year, during which, Christ foretold to him a miraculous release through a dream. Through that experience, Gary turned away from Buddhism and fully committed his life to Christ.
In the past few years, as God restored pieces of Eastern Media Group back to Gary, this CEO began a process of submitting his company of 2,700 employees to Christ. One of his expressions of Christ-centeredness is in the monthly company blessings. In Taiwan, many company leaders practice a semimonthly ritual of idol offering to gain financial protection and favor. Gary turned away from this practice and has now replaced these rituals with a lunch-time worship in prayer and blessings with his senior management team, many of whom are not yet Christians.
I participated in one of these lunch-time worships last week. Please click here to hear a segment of that worship. In it, I share a short message while Gary followed up with a word of encouragement for the management team.
Please lift up Gary and Eastern Media Group in your prayers. As a young and high profile Christian, Gary carries a great Kingdom responsibility, both professionally and personally. Please pray that God will:
- Continue to provide strong leaders to disciple Gary into his Kingdom destiny;
- Transform Eastern Media Group through the raising up of many “Josephs” & “Daniels”;
- Prosper the company in its striving to become a model Kingdom media enterprise.
Thank you for your support of this Kingdom company.
