Praise the Lord we had a wonderful sowing day at Santa Rosa! About sixty saints from Northern California joined us and we formed 19 teams to go door-knocking in the city of Santa Rosa, in the area near the Santa Rosa Junior College. The saints went out from 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM and we had a short overflow meeting after lunch, and all the saints are very encouraged by the door-knocking experience and are surprised by how open and friendly people are in this area. 552 tracts/free Bible offers were distributed, 44 people requested a RcV Bible and gave us their contact information, and 10 prayed and received the Lord. We will revisit the 44 people and deliver the Bible to them. May the Lord open up more opportunities for us to meet them in person again and encourage them to get into the truth.

One Christian sister from Sonoma State University (SSU) attended a one-on-one Bible study with us and joined us for the college meeting yesterday. She is a sophomore at SSU and attended Christian schools before college. She shared with us that in high school she prayed that the Lord will make her hot for Him during college, but she was very disappointed in her freshman year and she couldn’t find any Christian group that is genuinely seeking the Lord. She said that she was disappointed that the Christian students here are lukewarm, and she kept saying that she is so excited that she found us! She enjoyed the college meeting last night and has made a good connection with the local saints. Please pray that the Lord will continue reviving this sister, increase her enjoyment in the church life, and companionize her with other sisters to pursue the Lord together. Please also pray for all the Christians at SSU, that the Lord will cast fire on this campus and turn the lukewarmness to fire.

Prayer burdens:

• 2-3 new students from SSU will come to the Lord’s table meeting at Novato tomorrow. Please pray that the Lord will keep their hearts soft and open and enjoy His presents at the meeting. They will visit San Francisco with the trainees in the afternoon. Please pray for more opportunities to strengthen the connection with these two students and to water the life in them.
• Please pray for the follow-up of the 44 contacts we met from door-knocking today. We will revisit the houses to deliver the Bible and may the Lord opens up more opportunities for us to meet them in person again.
• Please continue praying for the campus work at SSU, that next week will be a reaping week and the Lord will gain five core students and 15 solid contacts by the end of the gospel trip, and that these students will enjoy and remain in the sweet church life and be captured by a controlling vision of God’s economy.
• Please pray that the Lord would burden some young saints, families, and serving ones to move to this white field.
