Monday, February 1st, 2016 Today the trainees spent a day of blending and sight-seeing with the full-time team. We started the day with a dim sum brunch, then we spent the day at Whistler Mountain before driving to a couple’s home in Surrey to have a meal. The leading brothers there shared the history of the churches and the saints in this area, and also their burden concerning the situation amongst the saints and the Lord’s testimony here, including Abbotsford.

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016 Today was the first day of distributing at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV). The response was overall very positive, with a very favourable professor who was very excited to see us there, as well as a few very open local students. A total of 13 Bibles were given out. There have also been very positive contacts from our phone call follow-up. The Lord has also been stirring up in several local people who are dissatisfied with Christianity to come see us in the venues.

In the evening, five saints visited the father with his five children who came to the seminar. The time was full of sweetness and enjoyment that touched and impressed both the family and the saints very much. The father said that he had never invited others to his home before, and that at first the visit was a little strange, but he gradually realized that this was of the Lord and was full of gratitude for the visitation. His children also enjoyed the presence of the saints and each one that they loved them and gave each one a hug before the saints left. They are tremendously open and wanting to see the saints again. The saints will have dinner with them next Monday.

Prayer burdens:

• The ongoing follow-up with this family, as well as the other positive contacts, would result in the connection between the new ones and the local saints for long-term care and labor.
• The Lord would bring local Canadians who are seeking and ready to be brought into the church life to the venue and seminars at UFV.
