Speaking at Centennial Chapel, Wong reflected on these experiences, emphasizing the significance of faith in overcoming life’s adversities. She shared, “Faith is not about having all the answers; it’s about trusting God in the midst of questions.” This quote underscored her message about the steadfastness of faith amid uncertainties.
Wong also highlighted the importance of community in Christian life, drawing from her extensive experience working with various churches and ministries. “In our journey with Christ, community isn’t just a comfort; it’s a necessity,” she remarked, encapsulating her belief in the power of collective faith and support.
Hosanna Wong, alongside her husband Guy, continues to travel and speak, serving on teaching teams at churches across the United States.
