We are very thankful for your prayers and we praise the Lord for His marvelous work through all the saints. Today twenty seven saints from Northern California labored with us on the Sonoma State University (SSU) and its nearby communities. Six SSU students attended the Bible studies on campus and enjoyed the truth opened up by the footnotes. Some of them are also planning to come to the college meeting this Friday. Please pray that the Lord will bind any distractions and release many students to come enjoy the feast this Friday night! We also had one student open up for us to come to her dorm tomorrow night to have a freshmen Bible study; and as of now eight freshmen girls are planning to come. Please pray for this very first Bible study at the dorm and may the Lord bring in the shepherds to continue taking care of these dear students after the gospel trip.

The community teams are also very much encouraged by the Lord. We had six teams go out in the community near SSU; eleven people received a RcV Bible, four of them prayed and received the Lord, and four of them are open for us to revisit. One team visited a student at SSU that we just met at the table last week, and she is a very genuine seeker of the Lord. The saints were planning to visit her for 20 min but it turned out to be a 1.5 hour Bible study. The saints studied Philippians chapter three with her and she was very impressed by the RcV footnote and kept asking how often we do this kind of Bible study. She is in her senior year and she shared with us that she always has a heart to go to Bible school after graduating from college. May the Lord preserve her heart with the shepherding of the saints and lead her clearly in her last year of college.

Tonight we also had a home meeting with the saints in Novato and Santa Rosa. Throughout this gospel trip all of the trainees are very much watered by the dear saints in this area; their hearts for the Lord, their fresh consecrations to the Lord, their taking care of one another, and their rejoicing spirit all shepherd us very much. Praise the Lord for the brightly shining lampstand in Novato and Santa Rosa!

Prayer burdens:

• SSU Campus: Please pray for the Bible study at the student dorm on Thursday night and college meeting on Friday night. Please pray for our current twenty solid contacts and pray that the Lord will bring some more genuine seekers in the next two days, especially raise up some young brothers at SSU. We pray that all these contacts will remain in the church, grow in life, and be normal functioning members of the Body of Christ.
• Community: Please pray for the revisiting of the warm doors we gained in door-knocking. May the Lord warm their heart through our revisit and open up more opportunities for further fellowship. We expect 56 saints from Northern California to join us this Saturday 2/7 to continue the door knocking in Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park. May the Lord gain some open homes in the community through the saints’ visit!
• Please pray that the Lord would burden some young saints, families, and serving ones to move to this white field.
