It looks like your church used side-by-side translation for over 10 years. Why do you think that it took so long to move to an English service? And I'm wondering what motivated you to stay with the church during all that time? Thanks for sharing your church experience.

That was a tough period for people like me who only understood one language. It took a long time to complete Stage 3 and we lost a few generations. Yes to the first question: approximate dates
1967 the start of the Chinese congregation (Cantonese though from HK)
Late 70’s second service side-by-side translation
Early 80’s hiring of English pastor (Asian American who functionally ministered in English only)
1991 English only service

You see the long time period between the establishment of the side-by-side translation to the English only service. That was a tough period for people like me who only understood one language. It took a long time to complete Stage 3 and we lost a few generations.
