It is indeed amazing!
As I read a report about a meeting hosted by Media in Vancouver, I am once again amazed at their unbelievable way of "doing" ministry.
在剛過去的周日，影音使團邀請溫哥華的弟兄姊妹進入一個《奇妙的旅程》。在一年一度的週年異象分享會上，影音使團董事鄺仲文介紹了影音的各項事工，包括《天使心》月刊北美版、挪亞方舟、創世時報、福音電影和節目等。
Aren't they stretching too thin? I am amazed that they still emphasize that Noah's Ark is one of their key ministries. If they are in financial crisis again and again, they should first develop a health finance before they launched into new ministries. It is like a son, keep asking his parents for money to buy this and buy that. Media is asking the Christian public to support them, there is no end to it. The world is bigger than what we think. They are spending money without thinking, "washing their feet without wiping them dry". They are exercising what we called "blind faith".
他又呼籲弟兄姊妹為使團的經費奉獻及禱告，特別是因未籌得足夠經費而被腰斬的《流浪漢世界盃》福音電影，以及大型的挪亞方舟計劃等。
The above two are two very typical example of poor management. Why then should we continue to support them? How do we know they will be faithful and accountable to what we give? I was there in one of the meetings where they raised fund for the movie. The Noah's Ark, it is a joke! The management, another joke!
電影放映完畢後由喬宏太太小金子為大家解畫....
They showed a movie that is not theirs. Did you notice that they are not producing movies as before, or I should say they can not! It is good to find out why.
I really wonder why 小金子 continue to support them, as I know, it is for the sake for the Gospel. She is not involved in all those "jokes". But, it is sad to see how Media use people like 小金子. It is just sad!
Wake up please!
This theme park has been there for over 10 years since 1997, many might be glad that finally it will be completed but I think the worse has just started.
Take a look at the following two links:

Just look at the ending paragraph in the above link:
公園總經理劉志遠則回應表示，挪亞方舟強調愛家庭、愛自然的觀念，並非宗教宣傳場所。議員李永達 指出，挪亞方舟由公帑興建，政府要確保宗教色彩較淡，興建目的亦不能是為了讓個別宗教傳教，須提供多元意見。
Is it different from what we think or what we want?
Wake up, Christians!

Look at part of the comments from the above link:
立法會議員李永達認為，為方便公眾使用，入場費應盡量降低。他又質疑馬灣公園造價太高，懷疑地產商可以把工程批予相關公司，以盡取地價餘額，會要求政府稍後公開興建的帳目。
Be careful, Christians!
Did Mr. Yuen and Media really discovered the Ark and proven that this is a historical fact? Indeed, we Christians knew that it is a historical fact but can we really prove it to the public?
Look at their own link:
You can go inside and see the articles for yourself. Look at all those recommendations from all the artists and pastors. Can you believe that?
Take a look at the following statements from their own website: (you can go in and read the context, the meaning is still the same)
我們找到的方舟只是其中一部份。
所以我們才會成為首批華人攝製隊登上亞拉臘山，並且發現方舟，這並非我們原來的計劃。
我們要再三強調，「影音使團」在今次發現方舟的事件上，只是擔任探索的角色，而不是探研的工作。
在過往的兩次新聞發佈會上，我們也是如實、中肯地報告，自己在亞拉臘山的發現，並根據過往的資料推斷這是方舟
Earlier, they claimed that they found a piece of wood and believed that it is from the Ark, did they prove it? Are there any authorities willing to back up their statement? They always used the words "may be", there is a "possibilities", "most likely" but these words are not scientific nor objective. Don't make us a joke among the public. They said that they will announce the result, did they?
If you go on their website, the products about the "documentary" is still on sales, it is just unbelievable.
They claimed that even the Turkey government praises their effort. Yes, if I am the government, I will do the same. They are creating attention, business and income for the country, why not give them praise for doing that?
A lot of time and money have been spend (I don't want to use the word "wasted") but we must be faithful and honest. Getting support is one thing, misleading the Christian public is another. When you put them together, it is simply not right at all!
Wake up please!
