Day7 - The joy of saving lost souls

There are more visitations today. Roland, Johnny and I followed Shu-man (樹民) to visit some church friends. Yui Kei (銳淇), the first friend we visited, has been coming church for some time. He has a furniture store. When we talked to him initially, it was constantly interrupted by the customers. Roland and I were praying silently to the Lord to allow us to share the Gospel without interruption and God answered by having his wife coming out to help. Johnny had shared his personal experience and the 4 spiritual laws. Praise the Lord, Yui-Kei was willing to accept Christ. We encouraged him to continue to read the bible, come to church, and grow spiritually.

We visited couple more stores; and we prayed each time before entering. The Lord allows us to effectively share with them for each visit. The last restaurant we visited was owned by a single mom. Her husband left her and her daughter and son for 9 years. We can see the unfortunate impact to her kids: her daughter was currently pregnant, living with her boyfriend. And her son Alex, currently 14, was getting behind in school after his dad left. Johnny shared the Gospel with him in English. Praise the Lord once again: he was willing to believe in Christ. After prayer, Alex could tell us that Jesus is now in his heart.

I experience vividly the livings of the Chinese here are challenging in many different aspects: family, work, financial, social identity, culture, etc. People lose direction easily and really need the Lord.

In the evening, we had a Couple Fellowship. The topic was “parents’ advice on children’s dating”.  Pastor Stanley, Chow-Ling and Roland gave us a good sharing.

Prayer items:                                                   

• Tomorrow we will have a sharing on resolving conflicts in another Couple Fellowship. Please pray the sharing to be effective.
• Continue to pray for Roland’s recovery.

Thank you so much for your prayer support. We can really feel the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit.
