The Asia Delegation Assembly took place from May 8 to 13 and for the first time in Taiwan, as if to span the size of our Asian reality. Twice before it was held in Macau (2001 and 2011) and all the other years in the Philippines. The past was analyzed by means of the reports of the different sectors: Evangelization, Formation, Vocation and Mission Promotion. The relative smallness of our Comboni group (around twenty members) always contrasts with the relevant amount of quality work done: a reason for continuous gratitude and appreciation. The future was represented by the Six Years Plan that was finalized in the Assembly itself. But the best experience was the joy of the present: the communion, the brotherhood and the enthusiasm of being together once again. The present challenges of our Asian mission were illustrated to us by Fr. Willie, CICM, a missionary with a long experience of the Chinese world.

The Comboni Missionaries set up, fifteen years ago, a structure called “Fen Xiang”, born out of the need to coordinate some activities and strategies, especially in the fields of Formation and Human Promotion in China, in collaboration with the local church. Two characters form the term Fen Xiang (Sharing): “Fen”, which means to divide or to share, and “Xiang”, the character for joy and good experience. Joined together indicate sharing, both feelings and experiences, joys and sufferings, as well as material goods. In sharing, both sides can give and receive, originating a reciprocal flow.
