Why intergenerational?

• To encourage church unity via cross-congregational and intergenerational reconciliation.
• To obey, send, and go not as distinct congregations but as one church joining in prayer, preparation, fundraising, etc.
• To request not merely the approval or permission of "the other" congregation but full support and participation.
• To invite families to participate.
• To heal generational and congregational wounds.
• To promote prayer and missions as one church, and to see how these are mutually promoting.
• To affirm that God calls and uses His children at any age, and that according obedience is necessary at any age.
• To allow that God calls people out of every stage, not (for example) just those transitioning out of college to consider their vocations.
• To convey to the missions field God's relevance to several walks of life.
• To put our supposed Asian American strengths such as community and self-sacrifice and honor to refining fire in a team context.
