We had a really good time studying the Bible together this afternoon. Praise God we had 12 students come along to learn. We talked about why we go to Church and a lot about encouragement (Heb 10:24-25). It was so good to see so many faces there and for them even though they were a bit quiet and tired, to share with them our experiences and we fully encouraged them and used this opportunity to I guess tell them that they are the older students in the Church, we are passing on the responsibility of evangelism and discipleship to them - that it is them that has to set an example to the younger ones and to invite their friends to come to Church. I always get excited when leading Bible studies so I talked a fair bit (in chinese too) but I got the message across and we can only pray that they'll go away thinking about it, praying, encouraging one another and take on the responsibility of serving YuChih Church.
Please keep praying for this group of young people - they are a very cool bunch and some of our closest friends here in YuChih - we can only pray that God will really convict them and change them, that they'll want to serve God wholeheartedly and His kingdom. We were encouraged this morning by hearing a lot of the older students speak about that they are Christians and in their classes at school they are the only ones so it's hard for them to share the Gospel or invite ppl to church but just to hear that they think about it and share in front of others that they trust Jesus was really something to praise God about.
We basically have one more week left in YuChih then our mission will be basically over.
Thanks everyone for your continuous support and prayer - we hope and pray that God will use us even more this last week especially with Ping arriving on Wednesday.
