Praise the Lord, we had a great beginning in Sonoma State University (SSU) today! Fifteen local saints and serving ones from North California joined us, and we split and sent the team to both the SSU campus and the nearby community. The campus team set up two tables right in front of the SSU cafeteria for three hours at noon. It is a very good location on campus for contacting students. We distributed 31 Bibles on campus; fourteen of the students are willing to be contacted and nine of them are interested in having Bible studies with us. We started following up with them this evening to set up some appointments during this week. The community team went to the neighborhood around the SSU campus, the residence of many students as well. We met eight positive contacts from the community who are willing to have us come back to deliver the Bible to them and four of them prayed to receive the Lord.

This evening we met again with the sister’s friend who is currently a freshmen at SSU; she is one of the two students we met on 1/25. She already has a very good connection with the family that lives close to campus and she is currently considering to move in to live with the saints. She is comfortable to attend the home meetings and Bible studies as long as her schedule allows and she enjoyed spending time with the sisters. May the Lord continue building up the companionship of these two sisters and bless their college years in the church life.

Prayer burdens:

• Continue praying for the gospel outreach on the SSU campus. In the next two weeks we will continue to have the table on campus for three hours a day and continue door knocking in the community. Please pray that the Lord will bind the strong man, release the captives, and recover the sight of the blind; that many students would have a taste of the truth, touch their spirit, and be well connected with the saints. Please also pray for our follow-up appointments with the open ones.
• Please pray for the neighborhood around the SSU campus, that many doors will be open and many seeking ones will appreciate the truth. May the Lord gain more households in this neighborhood to love Him, enjoy Him, and serve Him. We are still waiting for the room request from the school for the Bible study. Please pray that the Lord would release the best location for us this week to conduct the Bible studies.
