In Merced, we are beginning to focus much of our attention on following up with the positive and open contacts that we have received from UC Merced, Merced Community College, and the community. There have been a number of contacts who have met with us for personal Bible studies and they have really been receptive to the light in the Word as revealed by the ministry.

On January 30, we had a BBQ for UC Merced students and it was wonderful! There was a prevailing family atmosphere that was conducive to much intimate and warm fellowship. We really enjoyed singing with one another and sharing our enjoyment from the Word with one another. Several new ones learned about their human spirit and received the Lord into their spirit by calling on the Lord for the first time!

On January 31, about 40 saints from the Bay Area, CA and San Diego, CA joined Merced to go door-knocking. It was awesome seeing the members of the Body support Merced! We had eight teams go out to hand out Bibles, ministry materials, and tracts. When the saints returned, all of their faces were glowing with the joy of preaching the gospel and spreading the Word!

Prayer burdens:

• Pray that there would be the proper follow-up with the UC Merced and Merced Community College students and the community.
• Pray that we would continue to pray ourselves into the oneness of the Triune God before doing anything.
• Pray that there would be at least one baptism in Merced.
