Day3 – Stores visiting in San Jose

This morning we spent some time in the hotel to review what we observed and learned from yesterday. It was followed by prayers, then we went to church for a combined gathering. Elder Chow Ling gave a sharing on serving the Lord. We split into 10 groups to share our experience on following the Lord and serving Him, as well as serving challenges. Brothers and sisters were very involved in discussion. From their answers we can tell their strong desires to love and serve the Lord.

After the sharing, we set off to downtown San Jose for visiting. We split into 2 teams: Pastor Chiang, Pastor Stanley, Johnny and sister Mo-oi (武愛)  was team 1 to visit stores with more Mandarin spoken people; Chow-Ling, Roland, brother Shu-man (樹文) and myself became team 2 to visit other areas.

Many Chinese here run restaurants or grocery stores business. We stopped by their stores or restaurants, chatted with them a little, and invited them to our church. We also left them some CCM magazines (中信月刊). Within the team, we further split our responsibilities on initiating the conversation, inviting them, taking notes, taking photos and praying.

I have been learning relying on Him for the results, and focusing on my responsibilities of inviting them to church.

Prayer items:

• Please pray that our sowing of the Gospel to their hearts can be harvested one day. May the Holy Spirit work in their hearts. Here are some people we visited: 岑海濤（炸雞餐館）, 吳榮偉（雜貨店）, 徐潔雲（岑太）（雜貨店）, 岑單紅（餐館）, 馮生（雜貨店）, 梁生（炸雞餐館）, 吳生（酒吧、餐館）, 陳生、陳太（雜貨店）.
• Pray that we have wisdom to share and loving hearts to losing souls, and the Lord strengthen our works. We will continue to visit more stores tomorrow in Alajuela, a town very close San Jose.
• Continue to pray for Roland’s recovery.

Thank you for supporting us with prayers!
