We concluded our gospel trip today with all the saints here by giving thanks, praises, and glory to the Lord for all He has done in the North Bay. We were full of joy with the saints to witness the first Lord’s Table of the church in Rohnert Park.

At Sonoma State University (SSU) and Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) where we labored this past two weeks, 3,806 tracts and flyers were distributed, 403 Bible Sets were passed out, 178 people left their contact information, 10 people were led to pray and receive the Lord, 38 appointments and Bible studies were held with the contacts, and 6 regular appointments were set up. We have 107 students from SSU on the Bible Club’s email list; and even though there was the restriction of passing out tracts at SRJC, the Lord still brought many students to the table and 53 of them left their contact information.

Among all the student contacts, we identified 36 students from SSU and about 15 students from SRJC as the most positive contacts to labor on. There were 16 students from SSU and SRJC who attended the college meeting on Friday nights, and two of them returned for the second meeting. Also, on Saturday, more than 60 saints from the Bay Area participated in the sowing trip in Rohnert Park. They gave out 35 Bibles and got 20 contact cards, and 928 packets were given out through door-hanging. May the Lord keep growing in all the contacts through proper follow up and shepherding to gain what He is after.

During these two weeks, we were so shepherded and encouraged by all the saints’ care to us, and by their faithful labor and outpouring to the Lord. We pray that the Lord will richly bless all the saints here with His bountiful supply to keep going on and that the lampstand here will shine brighter and brighter for the Lord’s strong testimony!
