Santa Rosa/Novato, CA—Gospel Trip, Day 2
We attended our first Lord’s Table meeting in Novato with eighteen local saints. We praise the Lord for the sweet church life here. The saints have been enjoying a three-week material on consecration, and all the saints are deeply touched by how normal and indispensable it is to walk the way of consecration in our day to day living. Many praises, prayers and consecrations are freshly offered to the Lord. After the prophesying meeting we had a love feast with all the saints and enjoyed a precious blending time together.
During the evening we had our coordination time to prepare for tomorrow’s gospel outreach. We will have one team going to Sonoma State University (SSU) and one team go door-knocking in the nearby community. We ended our coordination time with strong prayers that the Lord would flow freely through us during the next two weeks and gain many young open hearts.
We are all very encouraged that the Lord is faithful to guide us through our prayers. “You should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain,” (John 15:16). One sister brought two of her friends from SSU for dinner tonight, both of them are freshmen and have some Catholic background. We shared some of our stories on how we touched the church life and how we experienced the Lord in our college years. Both of them are very open and positive, and they prayed with us after dinner.
Prayer burdens:
- Please pray for the gospel outreach tomorrow, that the Lord would flow freely through the saints and gain many seekers in this area.
- Please pray for the campus work on SSU, that the Lord will gain five core students and fifteen solid contacts who will remain in the bible study and enjoy the church life during this semester
- Please pray for the two students that we met today, that the Lord would touch them in a deeper way, supply them in all situations through His Word, strengthen their connections with the saints, and make them living and functioning members in the Body of Christ.
