Praise the Lord we started a new week in Sonoma State University (SSU)! There are fifteen local saints and serving ones from Northern California joined us. We continued the Bible club table on SSU campus; two community teams continued door-knocking in the community nearby SSU; and two community teams start revisiting the 44 homes we met last Saturday for Bible delivery and follow-up appointments.

The campus team had two Bible studies and one appointment with new students today. One of them is a Christian sister and she enjoyed the Bible study very much and was impressed by how deep the footnotes in RcV open up the Bible. Another Christian sister who attended the Bible study also has a good heart for God and is very open and receptive. Both of them may come join us for the Friday college meeting. Please pray that the Lord will bring them for dinner this week and connect them with the local saints.

Two new students joined us for dinner tonight, the sister who was saved on Friday and the sister who attended the Lord’s table yesterday, and we had a study night together in the saint’s house. We are very happy that they are comfortable with us and found their family away from home.

The two community teams revisited some of the homes from Santa Rosa, the 44 contacts we received from door-knocking on Saturday 1/31. We talked to seven of them who were home when we revisited and two of them are very positive and open to be revisited again. One of the Bible recipients is a seeking believer and currently has a small Bible study with two other Christian brothers in their place. We met them and they invited us to come back next Saturday for a Bible study at their place. Please pray that the Lord will bless this time and keep them pursuing him and know His heart desire.

Prayer burdens:

  • Please pray for our coordination with the local saints regarding the continuation of the follow up and shepherding of the new contacts after our departure. May the Lord use this last week of the gospel trip to gain solid remaining fruits and carry on the campus work at SSU.
  • Pray that the Lord will gain five core students and 15 solid contacts by the end of this gospel trip.
  • Please pray that the Lord will release more students to attend the Bible studies, appointments, and the second Friday night college meeting during this week. May the Lord attract many more to be captured by the truth and the sweet church life.
  • Please pray for the revisiting of the 44 homes in Santa Rosa who are open to receive a Bible. May the Lord warm their hearts through our second visit and open up more opportunities for further fellowship with them.
  • Please pray that the Lord would burden some young saints, families, and serving ones to move to this white field.
