2006 Leadership Summit

Summarize Content

The phenomenal success of the First SEAC Leadership Summit is proof of God’s work in this community and the need for ongoing leadership summits.  In 2006, over 160 leaders from various Southeast Asian communities, organizations, churches, and para-church ministries across the nation came together for the purpose of encouraging each other, building a support network, and equipping leaders for ministry. Participants came from as far as Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Memphis, Tennessee, Florida, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Texas, Ohio, Virginia, Arizona, Washington, as well as California.

The conference opened their eyes to a new paradigm in God’s ministry with a strong message that God also has a plan for Southeast Asians.  As minorities, we may often feel slighted and insignificant in American society.  Yet, as children of God, we need to remember that we too are created to do good and significant work in His Kingdom.  The keynote speakers were two well-known Asian Americans who have contributed extensively to the development of the Asian American community through their books and their leadership skills.

The first keynote speaker was Pastor Kenneth Fong of the Evergreen Baptist Church of Los Angeles.  He spoke on how his church developed ministries that honored generational and ethnic differences after he joined the team at Evergreen in 1981.   He helped SEA leaders learn from his mistakes by citing references to some of his struggles in developing ministries that respect both the leadership of the older generation and the changing needs of the newer generation.

The second speaker was Paul Tokunaga, the national Asian American Ministry Coordinator at Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.  He chose to encourage Southeast Asian American Christians to step up as leaders of faith in the greater American society, as they are now citizens of this country.
