The little boy who offered five piece of bread
and two slices of fish, only offered what all he had, he didn't considered whether it was enough to feed five thousand
people or not.
ERS co-founder Mrs. Ginny Lin "E-R-S!" I cried out loud while waiting upon the Lord in the early morning. We came to California to serve God full time in a media ministry. After two years, our service have been interrupted and we lost our service post. During this period of seeking our next step, we prayed for God's guidence on what we should do in the future. We waited anxiously to His answer. Few days later, we felt that God wanted us to set up a new media ministry. If the moving is true, then Lord, you got to show us at least what is the name of the new ministry. And to my surprise, at the moment while I waited upon the Lord, the name of "ERS" came to me. Excitedly, I gathered our 3 children, and we prayed to God to let us know what does ERS mean. And what is our vision? One day when we got back from our church, I closed my eyes and rested, suddenly I got a vision of a highway sign, it was written "information aids". At that moment, I realized R means resource. Later on, S means "service"ĦAE means "Emmanuel" all came unveiled to us. God also gave my husband Changhorng verses for ERS' vision
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy." And we understand that the direction
of ERS production shall aim at those people who are desperate.
I was full of passion and excitment whenever my thought was on our calling, but I would feel defeated whenever my thoughts fell on the heavy burden ahead of us. How can we start with only two people? My emotions were always up and down, at that time I still worked at CCM Literature Department, during lunch break, I walked alone in Petaluma park, and I used that time to praise God and to ask his Promise. One day in lunch room I met Xiau-Yun Ma the missionary from North Thailand,I asked her how she established her ministry in Thailand, and asked her how can I fullfil the ERS vision I received? She retold me about the miracle in the bible that one little boy would be able to feed five thousand hungry people with his offering of only two pieces of fish and five pieces of bread. The reason is that he offered all he had, so God increased his offering. Suddenly it dawn on me clearly, that God gave me the vision, He only wants me to offer myself totally, the rest of the responsibility depend on LORD himself. Rooted on our faith, we prayed with our hands on the application forms, we applied permission to established ERS as a non-profit organizationĦAwe passed all the questionaries and got out permit in Xmas year 2003. Thus our frontier Christian work begin. For all the churches to become true Christian churches, we offered our ERS. May he become a organization for spiritual guidence, may LORD take charge of ERS, let the organization become one of the multi-media production companies, it will take back the multi-media for Christians.
