Praise the Lord our team has arrived Santa Rosa/Novato area this afternoon! We have nine trainees on this team. In addition, there are around eight full-timers and more than thirty local saints from the Berkeley and San Francisco area plan to join us partially during our two-week stay. There are three campuses in this area: Sonoma State University, Santa Rosa Junior College, and College of Marin. Although the saints currently have some contacts in each of these campuses, the main burden during these two weeks is on Sonoma State University.

This evening we had dinner with some local saints at a house right next to the gate of the Sonoma State University. We were all very impressed by how wonderfully the Lord has prepared this place for the church life in the past few months. The location and the structure of the house are very convenient to have students over. Currently there is a core family and one student living in this house. The saints have registered a Bible club and plan to have Bible studies at Sonoma State University throughout the semester.

Prayer burdens:

• The Lord will gain five core students and fifteen solid contacts who will remain in the church life and enjoy the bible studies during this semester
• The coordination among the local saints, the serving ones and the trainees. There will be a kickoff meeting tomorrow evening after the Lord’s Table meeting.
• The Lord will burden some young families to migrate to this area
